You might recognize supermodel Ashley Graham as the face of Forever 21's latest Spring campaign or perhaps you've seen the Addition Elle lingerie she designed and debuted at Fashion Week. Graham is a pioneer for body positivity, proving that all silhouettes are sexy. In her latest ads for swimsuitsforall, she joins Nicola Griffin and Philomena Kwao to drive her point home: not only is every body sexy, every body can wear the hell out of an itty-bitty metallic two-piece.

The #SwimSexy campaign graces the pages of the Sports Illustrated annual Swimsuit Issue, spotlighting Griffin who, at 56 years old, is the oldest woman to debut her bikini body in the magazine. And if that's not buzzy enough, the three women show off their beach style in a short film for the brand, which you can watch ahead. Read on to see all the photos and read powerful quotes from Graham, Griffin, and Kwao, and then preorder the gold triangle design that's so undeniably flattering.

"People think you lose your sex appeal as you get older — but that’s a myth; I've never felt sexier. I have two daughters and I'm so proud they get to see me looking sexy and confident in a bathing suit."

"As a woman of color and curve model, I never imagined when I started modeling that I would be featured in the pages of Sports Illustrated. The #SwimSexy campaign is redefining standards of beauty and I'm proud to be a part of it. My hope is that this campaign connects with women and girls of all ages, body types, races, and backgrounds."
