Even if you aren’t ecstatic about your stretch marks, which most of us probably aren’t, the new mum, to 9-month-old daughter Luna, she’s giving us a nice reminder that they simply aren’t a big deal, and look, they happen, obviously.

This type of post isn’t surprising from Teigen, as this past August she posted a Snapchat story of her cellulite with the caption “lol my thighs have tributaries,” taking a light and humorous approach to something that tends to make women feel self-conscious.

If someone whose life is putting their body, literally, in the stark spotlight can have such a nonchalant attitude towards her stretch marks, so can we. Here’s to Chrissy, keeping it refreshingly real.
