Body positive imagery is steadily becoming mainstream and while some celebrities have admitted to struggling with image issues and insecurities, some have openly declared their love for their imperfections via pictures posted on social media. From Kendall Jenner on her acne issues to Parineeti Chopra on weight-loss, many of our favourite celebrities have empowered not just us, but women world-over to love their bodies. Here’s who we salute for doing the same…

Hilary Duff has been rather vocal always when it comes to speaking about her imperfections. And she recently proudly displayed her cellulite via social media, taking on body shaming—and the idea that celebrity mothers should look a certain way—with a photo that showed her legs. And while that photo did receive a lot of flak, Hilary certainly did not seem to care.

Making ‘plus-size’ a super sexy thing, Ashley Graham has never cared about what haters have had to say. Capturing her stretch marks on Instagram, Graham wrote, "I workout. I do my best to eat well. I love the skin I'm in. And I'm not ashamed of a few lumps, bumps or cellulite.. and you shouldn't be either."

Do you remember Lady Gaga’s winter's Superbowl performance when she did that jump from the stadium? After her incredible performance, people online started criticising Gaga's stomach. Addressing it, she wrote, "I heard my body is a topic of conversation so I wanted to say, I'm proud of my body and you should be proud of yours too. No matter who you are or what you do. I could give you a million reasons why you don't need to cater to anyone or anything to succeed. Be you, and be relentlessly you. That's the stuff of champions."

Jenner made a body positive statement with her latest appearance on the cover of GQ with beau, Travis Scott. Other than her curvaceous body on display, a long scar on her left leg's thigh is clearly visible. There's no Photoshop or concealer at play here, that’s for sure! And we love it!

Chrissy has been overly candid about any bodily issues she has ever had. Whether it’s stretch marks or issues during pregnancy, she has voiced her bold opinions always and empowered women to love their bodies time and again. She once tweeted a pic of skin-stretched dimples across her leg, with the caption: 'Whatevs'. And guess what? That also happens to be what we say to all the body-shaming trolls out there!

The actor was a few kilos on the heavier side when she entered the industry in 2011 and today, she has dropped down by a few sizes. Criticised terribly, Parineeti did not let the trolls get to her. In an Instagram photo, Chopra sported a tee putting on display her midriff, and fans were quick to notice her stretch marks and laud her for keeping it natural and we do too!

She once captioned an Instagram post: 'Hey stretch'. The model and cookbook author makes us all accepting of our bodies, the way she is of hers. Padma Lakshmi also isn't as self-conscious about the 7-inch scar on her right arm, as she used to be when she was younger. Scars are only reminders of how tough we are, aren’t they?

The designer is a vocal supporter of body positivity and women's issues. “It's taken me a LOT to put up this picture... I’ve had terrible acne for 14yrs and by terrible I mean, most days it looked like I had a cigarette stubbed in my face. Dark scars in my face & in my head.' Everybody who can relate say, 'Aye',” she captioned the above picture. Masaba, we don’t know if you saw our comment, but we say AYE too!

When the singer was snapped by the paparazzi for the first time in a bikini since she underwent a kidney transplant, a surgical scar on her left thigh was prominent. After a surgery, we bet a tiny scar doesn’t matter to Selena and it shouldn’t to you either! Selena, we say 'kudos to you girl!'
