Working the camera like a total pro, Holliday, 29, flaunted her full figure in Torrid’s seasonal florals, pastels, and cropped pants. But there’s one unexpected element to the campaign that makes it truly special: No Photoshop or other retouching was used to alter the images, so fans get to see the true Holliday.
