Ashley Graham has already proved herself worthy of any lingerie show after hitting the catwalk in Addition Elle underwear for New York Fashion Week in September.

And now the 30-year-old model - who is an advocate for healthy body acceptance - appeared to be taking aim at luxury lingerie label Victoria's Secret, who has yet to introduce plus-size models in their annual fashion show.

So Graham turned herself into an honorary Angel by photoshopping a pair of extravagant white wings to an image of herself modelling underwear on the runway during NYFW.

Along with the picture, the curvaceous star added the caption: "Got my wings! my #AdditionElle wings!#thickthighssavelives"

The catwalk queen has collaborated with Addition Elle on their underwear line since 2012, with the brand championing "fashion democracy" with their range of clothes and lingerie from size 12-26.

Meanwhile, Graham has previously said she would love to take part in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show - which takes place today in Shanghai - if the label were to feature size 12 and above models in their shows.

"Oh yeah. I mean when Victoria's Secret calls me and asks me to be on their runway I am going to say yes," she told TMZ.

The models who are featuring in the show include Bella Hadid, Martha Hunt, Adriana Lima, Stella Maxwell, Elsa Hosk, Alessandra Ambrosio, Lily Aldridge, Lais Ribeiro, Sara Sampaio, Josephine Skriver, Romee Strijd, Candice Swanepoel, Jasmine Tookes, and Karlie Kloss.

There will be performances from Harry Styles, Miguel, Leslie Odom Jr. and Chinese pop sensation Jane Zhang.

Meanwhile, Chrissy Teigen was angling for an invite to star in the show, and recruited fans on social media to make it happen.

Here's to Chrissy and Ashley getting their well-deserved invite next year.
