In another post, the Calvin Klein model encouraged her followers to love themselves unconditionally.

“I love photographing myself because I’m my biggest hype man – I always feel like no one sees and understands my beauty the way that I do.

“I want to know how you see yourself and your beauty. I want you to be your own hype man and #StirCreativity within yourself during this lockdown.”

She also encouraged fans to tag her in their body-positive portraits.

She added: “Let’s be each others hype-men to get us through this lockdown. I know things can get a bit depressing during this time, but I hope I’ll be able to inspire you to get creative with me.”
