Katie Holmes praised for sharing stretch marks picture
Katie Holmes has been praised for sharing a candid picture of her stretch marks on Instagram.
The actress, who is currently enjoying a fashion resurgence thanks to her winning recent looks, posted two images promoting a glossy magazine photoshoot. The first shows her with her hair slicked back in an androgynous suit, while the second - in black and white (swipe to see) - sees her in the same look, but posing to show her stomach.
Fans were quick to note her stretch marks, and to voice their appreciation for her body-positive post.
"Love how beautiful and natural you are with your body," user @iriagalvin wrote. "You aren’t afraid to show your body exactly how it is."
"So bold!!" @jenfletch agreed. "I love that you’re slightly showing the pregnancy warrior marks. You go girl!!!!"
"Thanks for being real," added @sunkisser.

Holmes' post reflects a more candid approach to pregnancy and post-baby reality proven popular among certain celebrities and influencers. Both Kourtney Kardashian and Ashley Graham were praised earlier this year for sharing unedited pictures of their stretch marks.
