Paul Archuleta—FilmMagic/Getty Images by [Megan Lasher](https://time.com/author/megan-lasher/) ## Megan Lasher Aug 17, 2016 5:30 PM UTC Chrissy Teigen has demonstrated [time](http://motto.time.com/4396246/chrissy-teigen-baby-weight-loss/) and [time again](http://motto.time.com/4319848/chrissy-teigen-model-mom/) that she’s attained true confidence #goals. Instead of giving into the crazy amount of pressure on celebrity moms (and dare we say _all_ moms) to look perfect post-delivery, she’s gotten real about her body and [encourages others to do the same](http://motto.time.com/4402731/chrissy-teigen-celeb-moms-criticism/). She’s embracing all kinds of “flaws,” and this week she’s tackling stretch marks. “My thighs have tributaries,” Teigen posted on her Snapchat, accompanied by a laugh-crying emoji and followed by a video close-up of the stretch marks on her inner thigh. And her fans are all about this body-positive attitude: > [](https://twitter.com/Kartoffelbrei25/status/765880441291304960) > [](https://twitter.com/StylishTomboy/status/765921222391697409) > [](https://twitter.com/pattyrodriguez/status/765919337056116737) > [](https://twitter.com/TheRealMFF/status/765918422710517760) > [](https://twitter.com/avilaplana/status/765913899053019136) \[h/t [BuzzFeed](https://www.buzzfeed.com/elliewoodward/everyone-loves-chrissy-teigen-for-showing-off-her-stretchmar?)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4455930/chrissy-teigen-stretch-marks/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4455930/chrissy-teigen-stretch-marks/"},"headline":"Chrissy Teigen Snapchatted Her Stretch Marks and Fans Are Happy","datePublished":"2016-08-17T17:30:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:03:10.792Z","description":"Stars: They're just like us","url":"https://time.com/4455930/chrissy-teigen-stretch-marks/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt44a7dc3eecaea5a2/6988a2b1196cf4b12403cdfe/chrissy-teigen-stretch-marks.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Lasher","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-lasher/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt44a7dc3eecaea5a2/6988a2b1196cf4b12403cdfe/chrissy-teigen-stretch-marks.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"FYC Event - Spike's \"Lip Sync Battle\" - Arrivals","caption":"Fashion Model / TV Personality Chrissy Teigen attends the screening of Spike's \"Lip Sync Battle\" on June 14, 2016 in North Hollywood, California.","creditText":"Paul Archuleta—FilmMagic/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4455930/chrissy-teigen-stretch-marks/","name":"Chrissy Teigen Snapchatted Her Stretch Marks and Fans Are Happy"}}]}] ```
