Tess Holliday is the latest female celebrity to join the empowering breastfeeding movement, and she thanks Gisele Bündchen for inspiring her to do so. 

The model took to Instagram to share a picture while getting her hair and makeup done for a photo shoot. In the snap, her daughter rests in her arms as she nurses.

"@nickhollidayco captured this photo of me getting ready yesterday to shoot the next instalment of my #mblmxtess @penningtons collection," she captioned the photo. "And it reminded me of @gisele's iconic photo breastfeeding on set."

She added, "Working moms come in all shapes, sizes, colors & creeds! #normalizebreastfeeding #workingmom #whorunstheworld."

Tess is one of several celebrity moms to encourage normalizing breastfeeding in public.

Recently, Kim Kardashian took to her app share her thoughts on the topic. She wrote, "I've seen this before and remember tweeting how shocked I was. Now that I'm a mom, I'm not that shocked, especially if you have a few kids..." Kim goes on, "I think it's such a natural experience and I'm not shy about that. I know so many people get backlash for posting breastfeeding pics, but I don't mind them!"

Karolina Kurkova also took to Instagram earlier this year to spread awareness and encourage everyone to accept breastfeeding as a beautiful and natural thing.

"Taking a moment today to give thanks for the gift of breastfeeding," she wrote on Instagram. "Nature had things figured out long before we did and I believe there is no better source of nutrition for our babies than a mother's milk, when we are able to breastfeed. It's not an easy process, but I encourage you to not give up! It was challenging for me at the start, but I am loving every step of this journey. I celebrate the women who have made this beautiful commitment!! I would love to see your #breastfeedingselfie, post or tag a friend who is #breastfeeding XOXO, KK#14weeksandcounting #kkhealthyliving#kkstyle #kkbbaby2 #grateful."

Of course, no one will forget the iconic moment when Gisele took to Instagram in 2013 and shared a photo breastfeeding her daughter, Vivian.

"What would I do without this beauty squad after the 15 hours flying and only 3 hours sleep #multitasking #gettinrready," Bündchen captioned the pic, casually, showing her daughter nursing while simultaneously getting her hair and makeup done.
