'America's Next Top Model' Winner Loses the Clothes for 'Love Your Body'


PopEater
Showing a more revealing side than she's ever displayed on the runway, "America's Next Top Model" season 10 winner Whitney Thompson flaunts her voluptuous figure in a nude campaign to promote Hollywood NOW's fifth annual Love Your Body Day.

Rocking new dark locks and not much else, the full-figured Thompson (left) -- who was the first and, so far, only plus-size contestant to win the "ANTM" crown -- joins curvaceous Love Your Body Day founder and Hollywood NOW president Chenese Lewis (right) in the racy shoot, photographed by Inez Lewis.

"We are so excited to have Whitney as our celebrity host this year," Lewis, a former Miss Plus America, says in a release. "She makes loving your body fierce!"

Thompson will also host the Oct. 23 Love Your Body Day event in West Hollywood, which celebrates women of all body types while raising awareness of eating disorders.

The plus-size model also couldn't resist weighing in on the recent controversy concerning "ANTM" and its apparent glorification of a stick-thin contestant with an alarmingly skinny waist, for which Banks has subsequently apologized.

"Tyra supports women of all sizes as long as they are healthy," Thompson says in the release.

"I do not fault her for her reaction to seeing such a tiny waist. She had a similar reaction to seeing [former contestant] Toccara's enormous breasts."

Cycle 15 of 'ANTM' kicks off on Sept. 8 on the CW.
