Let's give it up for Sherri Shepherd, everyone! This powerhouse isn't holding back after shedding an impressive 25 pounds. And what better way to celebrate her transformation than with a stunning beach photoshoot? Joining her for this unforgettable day was none other than the incredible Ashley Graham. These ladies prove that confidence and beauty come in all shapes and sizes, and Sherri's journey is nothing short of inspiring.
Here’s what went down: Ashley Graham, the queen of curves herself, couldn’t help but tease Sherri during the shoot. "It’s her first time in a bikini," Ashley playfully joked in a behind-the-scenes video Sherri shared on Instagram. But Sherri quickly set the record straight, saying, "In a swimsuit. No, I couldn’t do bikini, mama." At 51 years old, Sherri rocked a chic black one-piece swimsuit, striking poses alongside Ashley and other models. Her radiant smile and glowing skin stole the show, proving that age is just a number.
Sherri isn’t one to shy away from authenticity, and she opened up about the challenges of stepping into this bold new chapter. In her Instagram caption, she admitted, "This was a particularly scary move for me [because] I artfully disguise everything on my body I don’t want seen." But here's the kicker—Sherri decided to say yes to the swimsuit shoot because she wanted to inspire others. "I wanted to encourage you to run towards the very things you #fear [because] there are amazing #blessings on the other side," she wrote. Talk about turning fear into fuel!

The dynamic duo had the whole beach laughing as they bonded during the shoot. When Sherri joked about struggling to exude sex appeal, Ashley came to the rescue with some sage advice. "It’s like salsa!" Ashley quipped, showing off her signature confidence. But Sherri wasn’t done yet. With a wink and a nod, she responded, "You wear sexuality like a fur coat around your shoulders. And I wear my sexuality like I got it on a Target rack clearance sale." Classic Sherri—honest, funny, and relatable.
By the end of the day, Sherri was owning her look and loving every minute of it. She posted another Instagram photo of herself in the stunning one-piece, captioning it, "#lovetheskinyourein #plussize #joy #bestdayever #swimsuitsforall." It’s clear that this experience wasn’t just about taking pictures—it was about embracing her body, celebrating her progress, and encouraging others to do the same.
