Feeling confident. Katherine Heigl shared a snap of herself wearing just a bra on Instagram on Thursday, February 22 — but she said there’s a good reason behind it!
Heigel, 39, recently shared some before-and-after photos of herself in her underwear to show off her amazing post-baby body, and in her latest pic, she’s also wearing just a black and orange nursing bra. “Another shot of me in my underwear,” she captioned the new snap. “I realize it’s starting to feel gratuitous but this one’s for a good cause!”
The 27 Dresses star shared the post to raise awareness for her favorite bra shop, Jenette Bras, and to highlight the owner’s non-profit Hourglass Underground initiative, which provides young girls in foster care with a fitted bra for prom. The Grey’s Anatomy alum directed her followers to her blog, Those Heavenly Days, and revealed why she’s “very serious” about bras.
“When I was a VERY underdeveloped 14-year-old I actually prayed … and even fasted for a bigger bosom,” she recalled. “Not only did I end up with a B cup by that summer, by the following I was well on my way to the DD cup I ended up with.”
She added: “A word to the wise though. Make sure you’re very specific when setting those intentions. I forgot to mention that I’d like to skip the hips and ass of the well endowed. I also forgot to mention perky…ah well, can’t have it all right?”
On Monday, February 19, the actress showed off her toned body and revealed it took her more than a year to get in shape after giving birth to son Joshua with husband Josh Kelley in December 2016. “It’s been almost 14 months since Joshua Jr was born and it has taken me about that long to really get back in shape,” Heigl wrote along with a three-picture collage. “The first pic was taken one month after he was born. The second pic was taken almost a full year later and the last pic was taken this weekend.”
Heigl revealed to her followers that she used trainer Kayla Itsines’ Bikini Body Guide and made major progress in just five weeks. “I wish I had a few from in between the first and second so you could really see how slow my progress was but alas…I was busy covering it all up those months, not posing in my unders!” the Ugly Truth star continued. “Anyway, I have a beach vacation coming up, a new job I start filming in April and my deep desire to feel fit, strong and sexy propelling me forward the last two months to finally loose the last of my baby weight and do a deep dive search for the ab muscles I knew were buried under that belly somewhere!”
Last month, it was revealed that Heigl will be joining Suits for season 8 after Meghan Markle and Patrick J. Abrams left the USA series. The actress married Kelley in 2007 and the couple are also parents to adopted children Naleigh, 9 and Adalaide, 5.
