Mum who ‘hated belly’ now proudly flaunts stretch marks on the catwalk

Sarah Nicole Landry, who is known as The Bird’s Papaya, has built up a huge following on Instagram by sharing messages of self-love and body positivity. Her latest post left her fans in awe

A mum who once despised her stomach is now making waves in the modelling world by showing it off.

Sarah Nicole Landry, known to her two million Instagram followers as The Bird’s Papaya, has built a reputation for promoting self-love on her social media. In a recent post championing body positivity, she revealed striking photos of herself rocking swimwear on the runway at the acclaimed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Show during Miami Swim Week.
Despite years of grappling with body insecurities, she put in determined efforts to celebrate her unique figure. Her progress is evident, as recently seen when she confidently strutted along the catwalk in a bold bikini while fearlessly displaying her tummy.

After sashaying down the catwak, the mum brilliantly discarded her sarong to unveil the truth behind her outfit. Sharing her experience on Instagram, Sarah said: “Can I tell you when I dropped the sarong, it was the wildest moment (you can hear it in the first video). Cheers erupted. Do you know how freaking healing that was?
“To have cheers for the part of me I spent the largest part of my life hating on? While on THAT stage? Cheers. It was so magical I’m so glad there’s video of it. And an open letter thank you to whoever that woman was in the second video cheering me on that hard. I love you. Thank you.”

Since Sarah posted the stunning photos, they’ve racked up over 140,000 likes and her followers were quick to shower her with compliments. They expressed their “love” for the pictures and praised her for looking absolutely fabulous.
One fan gushed: “If I could hit the LIKE button 1 million times I would! ! ! I’m SO proud of you friend. This is not only SO healing for you, but for every little girl that never saw their body represented in magazines and on runways! We’re doing it, we’re getting there, YAS!”

Another admirer chimed in: “There’s something so damn gorgeous / hot / juicy / liberating about that jiggle. I mean.”

A third follower responded: “This is everything! Thank you Sarah for baring it all and showing your vulnerability, beauty and power! You’re truly an inspiration!”

Meanwhile, a fourth fan commented: “This is absolutely incredible. Yes Sarah! ! ! Fierce, strong and HOT. We love to see it!”
