Ashley Graham is showing off her pin-up worthy curves as she strips down to next-to-nothing for the cover of Maxim.

The 28-year-old model from Lincoln, Nebraska, is every bit the bombshell beauty in her sexy new spread featured in April issue of the men's magazine, as she reveals she is set on building her own empire. 

It is the first Maxim cover for the size 14 star, who is pictured wearing nothing but a white button-down shirt that barely covers her chest.

Meanwhile, Fashionista reports that it is the first time the US edition of the magazine featured a plus-size model. 

Ashley proudly took to Instagram on Monday to share photos from the shoot, which were taken by legendary photographer Gilles Bensimon, including an image of her husband Justin Ervin squatting behind her as he cups her bare breasts with his hands.

'When your husband shows up to work...' she captioned the provocative photo. 

Other images from the shoot are just as racy, and one of the pictures sees Ashley posed in a sexy-bondage-inspired bra and thong set from her eponymous lingerie label with Canadian plus-size retailer Addition Elle.
