She is a tireless advocate of body confidence and self-love.

And Iskra Lawrence once again put her money where her mouth is, as she shared a sensational image from a recent photoshoot - in which she joyously lauded photographer Ashley Jo for never retouching images to show her natural looks.

The 26-year-old British beauty looked incredible in just a nude crop top and a tiny thong as she confidently preened and pouted for the camera - showing off every inch of her incredible size 14 (size 10 US) curves.

Wow! Iskra Lawrence once again put her money where her mouth is, as she shared a sensational image from a recent photoshoot - in which she joyously lauded photographer Ashley Jo for never retouching images to show her natural looks

Iskra has carved a wildly successful career out of her quest to normalise curves and distance herself from rake thin catwalk models. 

Acting as a trailblazer for her very own 'celebrate difference' campaign, the Wolverhampton-born beauty once again encouraged her 3million followers on the photosharing site to rejoice in their bodies. 

As she sizzled into the camera, Iskra sat on her knees while pulling up the hemline on her flesh-coloured crop top to best expose her waist and stomach.

The racy thong she rocked left very little to the imagination, while covering little and exposing her curvy hips and stunning legs for all to see.

Under fire: Iskra recently came under fire when she became involved in Self magazine's New Year's Challenge, after which she insisted that she never meant to advocate the low-calorie diet involved in the plan. Her defense came after critics voiced concern that sample meal plan was 'promoting starvation'

Iskra added a caption on the shot in which she lauded her photographer Ashley Jo for refusing to use digital wizardry in her images - exposing her stunning form. 

She penned: '"When you give up the pursuit of perfection watch your life positively grow". ~ #qotd from my TEDx talk... 

'Because we are all good enough, and what's beautiful is that we're imperfectly perfect and all one of a kind...

'thank you @ashleyjophoto for celebrating women in your shoots and never retouching me - love you bbz #iskralawrence #everyBODYisbeautiful'.

Serious stuff: The Brit, who suffered from an eating disorder in the past, took to her Instagram page earlier this month to reveal that she reached out to the magazine's editor-in-chief, Carolyn Kylstra, about the challenge's first set of meals because she was unaware that eating plan was going to be so 'restrictive'

The Brit, who suffered from an eating disorder in the past, took to her Instagram page earlier this month to reveal that she reached out to the magazine's editor-in-chief, Carolyn Kylstra, about the challenge's first set of meals because she was unaware that eating plan was going to be so 'restrictive'.

'I don’t believe in diets, haven't controlled my food since recovery, and would never mean to advocate for them,' the size 14 model wrote of the sample meals, which added up to roughly 1,500 calories per day.

Iskra thanked her fans for voicing their concerns about the New Year's Challenge after it debuted on January 1 and apologized if the plan 'triggered' other eating disorder survivors.

The challenge features workouts and recipes, including the low-calorie eating plan that has since been pulled, and Iskra said she was initially drawn to it because it promoted regular workouts.

'My involvement with the Challenge from the beginning was the fitness aspect — I wanted to share some of my favorite workout moves with you all that aren't for weight loss, but to feel healthy, strong and to look after our bodies,' she explained.

'I knew that there would be recipes involved but did not know that they would be put together in the form of a meal plan or be so restrictive/low cal.'
