For the record, cellulite, stretch marks and thighs that touch (aka ‘flaws’) are actually NBD. *Everyone* has them: your mum, your bestie, your IG girl-crush, even your fave celeb. The problem? We don’t see nearly enough unedited images in the media - or online for that matter - for these features to be normalised. Katie Holmes, however, is trying to buck this trend.

Via Instagram, the 40-year-old shared some behind-the-scenes snaps from a recent photoshoot she did for Vogue Australia. Wearing an over-sized blazer, high-waisted pants and a simple black bra, her wrinkly tummy skin and stretch marks are fully on show.

“#bts @vogueaustralia,” she captioned the gallery. “It is wonderful to be working today with such amazing women!”

Naturally, the people of the Internet were quick to cheer her on for posting sans retouching.

"Love how beautiful and natural you are with your body. You aren’t afraid to show your body exactly how it is ❤️" one comment read.

"Stunning showing those beautiful pregnancy marks. Thank you♥️" said a second.

"So bold!! I love that you’re slightly showing the pregnancy warrior marks. You go girl!!!! 💪🏾" another fan added.

Here's to celebrating real bodies like Katie’s – and not feeling compelled to cover our ‘flaws’ up.
