Dolce & Gabbana's Spring 2019 runway show in Milan had one of the most diverse casts we've seen. As if that wasn't enough, the designers also had families walk down the runway so all ages were represented. Curve model Ashley Graham also strutted her stuff at the show.

What do Brandon Maxwell and Rihanna have in common? They want pregnant women to feel confident in what they're wearing.
