    Iskra Lawrence has been showcasing her natural beauty this week.

    The body positive babe, who lives in Miami, Florida, wore a floral bikini to soak up the sun.

    She snapped some pictures for her Instagram feed, which showed off the natural texture of her skin.

    The 32-year-old, who is originally from Wolverhampton, celebrated her cellulite in the post.

    She captioned the images: “CelluLIT. Bring on summer 23.”

    They garnered more than 132,000 likes and dozens of positive comments – and many appreciate Iskra for keeping things real.

    One responder gushed: “It’s the rolls tag for me. You look so radiant.”

    Another said: “You inspire SO many people. We all thank you!”

    A third wrote: “Absolutely love your body confidence.”

    And a fourth added: “Every day you make me realise I’m good enough! You look STUNNING.”

    It took years for Iskra to embrace her curves – especially as agents told her she was “too fat to model”.

    At first, she starved herself in a bid to slim down.

    Previously, she said: "It was an obsession to measure my body because I was told if I would achieve this goal, I would succeed.

    "I spent years of battling my body image and the way to view myself, trying to seek for validation to 'fix' the issue."

    But everything changed for Iskra when a friend told her about the plus size modelling industry in the US.

    She started embracing her curves – and her refreshingly natural pictures went viral on social media.

    The content creator has since walked the catwalk at various Fashion Week shows, partnered with huge brands like L'Oreal and even launched her own company called Saltair.

    According to Forbes, Iskra is one of the most prominent leaders of the body positivity movement – and her work has earned her a spot on BBC World's 100 Most Influential Women.

    Her net worth is estimated at over $2 million (£1.6m), which really sticks it to the modelling agents who told her she'd never be successful!
