Hunter McGrady's Instagram Is Everything

by James Hale

I'm obsessed with Hunter McGrady, and if you aren't, well, you will be — especially once you see her incredible Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue snaps. Her gorgeous, powerful, confident poses are captivating, and in the interest of seeing more of her excellence, you may be wondering if McGrady has an Instagram.

The answer: Yes, yes she does. And it's full of not just sneak peeks of her photoshoots with major brands like Swimsuits For All, but also with tons of selfies, giving fans a glimpse into her everyday life.

McGrady, who is a Wilhelmina model, is one of the 2017 Swimsuit Issue's Rookies of the Year. In her Swimsuit Issue spread, she actually didn't wear a swimsuit. Instead, she wore body paint which took artist Joanne Gair's team 12 hours to apply and, no matter how hard you look, still is indistinguishable from other models' actual swimsuits.

In an interview with SI, McGrady said she discovered plus size modeling when she was 19. "It was actually Robyn Lawley, Tara Lynn and Candice Huffine on the Vogue Italia cover. I saw that and thought, ‘Oh my gosh, these women are so beautiful and they are my size.’ By that time, I had gained some weight and I was about a size 10-12. And that’s what kind of opened my eyes to the plus size world. I went into Wilhelmina and I got signed and from there, it was like one job after another."

We sincerely hope she continues her one-job-after-another streak. But until her next amazing photoshoot graces our eyes, fans can see a plethora of McGrady on her Instagram.

Keep slaying, Hunter. Your fans are here for it.
