Since then, McGrady has earned praise as a body positivity advocate and even partnered up with QVC to launch a size-inclusive clothing line titled All Worthy, which ranges from XXS to 5X. The star recently participated in a chat on Instagram with The Knot cover girl Andrea Pitter, founder of Pantora Bridal. During the conversation, McGrady reflected on her success as a model. "You know, my biggest career high was Sports Illustrated in 2016," McGrady shared. "It was my first issue that I was in and… of course The Knot cover, which was huge, like being this plus size woman on the cover and it didn’t say anything about my size, you know what I mean? Which was huge. But for me, I think it was the response that I got from women saying, ‘Wow. For the first time in my life, I was able to open a magazine and feel represented, and feel seen, and feel proud of my body.’"
