Cheryl Tiegs isn’t giving her supermodel nod of approval to the voluptuous women redefining fashion, including groundbreaking stunner Ashley Graham, who she slammed for an “unhealthy” figure.
At a pre-Oscars party Wednesday night, the former supermodel was asked if she “loved” that women were now “stepping outside their comfort zones of the model figure.”

“Actually, I don’t like that were talking about full-figured women because it’s glamorizing them,” she responded.
“Your waist should be smaller than 35. That’s what Dr. Oz said and I’m sticking to it,” she added.
Tiegs, who was on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue three times in the ’70s and ’80s, wasn’t onboard with a curvy siren like Graham being promoted on the 2016 edition.
The bombshell—who is between a size 14 and 16—made history last month by becoming the first plus-sized model to grace the cover.
“Her face is beautiful, beautiful,” the legendary stunner said, sharing a shred of praise for the 29-year-old.
“But, I dont think it’s healthy in the long run,” the 68-year-old continued.
Amid widespread backlash, Tiegs later clarified that her comments weren’t limited to “overweight” models.

“Being anorexic/bulimic/overweight all connected to health problems,” she tweeted Thursday. “I want all to be as healthy as they can.”
Graham, along with model Hailey Clauson and Ronda Rousey, were featured on three different covers of the annual swimsuit edition —allowing customers to choose which bathing beauty they wanted.
Tiegs had kinder words for 20-year-old model Clauson, for having a “thin, healthy, strong, body.”
Graham has yet to comment on Tiegs’ commentary on her body but did appear on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Thursday to discuss her “curvasexalicious” cover.
“Sizing has gotten frightening. There’s a double 0 now. It’s a little scary on both spectrums of weight,” she told the host.
The cover model said her figure doesn’t promote anorexia or obesity.
“I think we have to promote women to be healthy at every size as long as they’re getting off the couch and moving their body,” she continued.
