Graham shot pictures in the nude, just three and a half months postpartum, for Spanx’s Silver Linings fabric. The company is using this fabric to make all-white pants and shorts of “100% opacity,” they claim, “no matter how dark one’s underwear.”
Searching far and wide for the very best celebrity latex Halloween costumes (or even just what they might have accessorized with) is always such a treat.
