Hong Kong star Grace Chan shared some sexy photos of herself in lingerie and a pink robe on her social media last week.
The actress, who is married to 53-year-old actor Kevin Cheng, said in her post that in the past she would often be worried about showing some skin, especially now that she's a mother.
“I used to feel incredibly shy to show a little skin because I often worried what others would think. Am I dressing a bit too provocatively? Is it okay to wear this now that I'm a mum? But to be honest, there are so many beautiful examples of women who are strong, independent, and sexy – the person that comes to mind right away? JLo, of course!” the 31-yer-old wrote.
Chan is a mother to three boys – Rafael, four, Yannick, two and Carlos, who is just three months old.
“So instead of feeling self-conscious, I hope that these images bring to light a new MODERN way to sexiness that's not about showing off, but about showing STRONG! What are your thoughts about this new way of empowering oneself?"
Comments on her Instagram posts are divided with some praising Chan for her bold move while others feeling it's inappropriate.
"You can be sexy and classy and yet need not degrade yourself to showing the world your skin. There are other ways to show confidence and strength. I definitely will not pass your thoughts to my next generation," a detractor wrote.
"You look stunning in pink too. I think a woman can show anything she wants. Tall, short, big, thin, flat, voluptuous... it doesn’t matter," a fan defended Chan.
Chan tagged her post #intimissimigirls, which is her partnership with the lingerie brand Intimissimi. Another sexy mama, Jennifer Lopez is the Italian brand's official global ambassador.
Chan is reported to be one of Hong Kong's top key opinion leaders (KOL). She was said to have had 32 sponsorship deals, which made her HK$10mil (RM5.6mil) in 2021 alone.
