Olympic gymnast and sexual abuse survivor Aly Raisman has posed naked for an empowering #MeToo-inspired Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot.
The 23-year-old, who also appears in a more conventional swimsuit spread in this year's issue of the magazine, stripped down for the cameras to bare all - posing completely naked, with 'truthful' words written across her body in black marker.
Aly's shoot has been released just weeks after she took to the stand at the trial of pedophile Team USA doctor Larry Nassar in order to offer a powerful victim impact statement detailing the abuse she suffered at his hands.

Making a statement: 23-year-old Aly posed for the shoot not long after taking the stand at the trial of pedophile doctor Larry Nassar
Bold: The gymnast posed with 'truthful and empowering' words written across her body, including 'survivor' on her chest
Team: Aly joins fellow Sports Illustrated stars Sailor Brinkley Cook, Paulina Porizkova, and Robyn Lawley who also took part in the nude shoot for the publication
Impressions: 'For the shoots, I was excited, but also a little nervous in the beginning, because it's still a new experience,' Aly said
Inspiration: Aly explained that one of the messages behind the shoot is that 'women do not have to be modest to be respected'
Advocate: Aly's shoot allowed her to 'take control' in front of the camera, and gave her the chance to direct how the photos were taken
The stunning black and white photos were shot by Taylor Ballantyne for the magazine's ' In Her Own Words ' project, which marks the 'evolution' of the iconic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in the light of the ongoing push for women's equality.
Aly joins fellow Sports Illustrated stars Sailor Brinkley Cook, Paulina Porizkova, and Robyn Lawley who also took part in the nude shoot for the publication.
Sailor, 19, Paulina, 52, and Robyn, 28, all stripped and turned their bodies into canvases covered with words that represent how they see themselves, with their pictures being shared with the world one week ahead of the issue's launch.
'I’m so excited to be a part of the issue for the second year in a row,' Aly, who posed in an athletic-themed bikini spread last year, told Sports Illustrated .
'This year has an extra special meaning to me, because it’s such an incredible time for women and everyone should feel as though they can express themselves however they want.
'For the shoots, I was excited, but also a little nervous in the beginning, because it's still a new experience. Once we started shooting, I felt comfortable because everyone on set was so supportive!'
Aly's bikini shoot took place in Aruba, and saw her posing in front of photographer James Macari.
Featured: The gymnast also posed in a more conventional bikini spread for the issue
Return: It isn't the first time Aly has graced the pages of the magazines; last year, she posed for an athletic-themed shoot for the swimsuit edition

Statement: Aly, who has become a vocal advocate for body positivity, said society 'puts too much pressure on women and young girls to look "perfect"'
Finding her angles: While Aly was initially nervous during the shoots, she said her team's supportive attitude helped her relax in front of the cameras
Significance: 'This year has an extra special meaning to me, because it’s such an incredible time for women and everyone should feel as though they can express themselves,' Aly said
Speaking out: The gymnast, who made headlines after staring down her abuser in court while delivering her incredibly strong statement last month (pictured), wants her voice to be heard
Aly, who has become a vocal advocate for body positivity and for survivors of sexual assault, explained that one of the messages behind the shoot is that 'women do not have to be modest to be respected'.
'I believe that women (or anyone) should be able to wear whatever makes them feel comfortable and happy,' she added. 'Our society puts too much pressure on women and young girls to look "perfect", and we have to stop doing that.
'I'm proud that SI Swim is using women of all shapes and sizes with various backgrounds. Each woman in the issue has her own unique story, and I am honored to be a part of it.'
The gymnast, who made headlines after staring down her abuser in court while delivering her incredibly strong statement last month, wants her voice as well as that of other girls and women to be heard.
'I take the responsibility [to be a role model] very seriously,' Aly, who twice captained her country's gymnastics team at the Olympics, said. 'I am proud to be considered a role model, and I hope that by using my voice, I can help create change for future generations.
'Everyone deserves to feel safe and heard. We must listen to those that speak up and offer our help.'
In the nude: Sailor Brinkley Cook (pictured) has joined Paulina Porizkova, Robyn Lawley, and a cast of other models also star in the nude Sports Illustrated Swimsuit spread
Work of art: As part of SI's 'In Her Own Words' project, Paulina (pictured) and the other models stripped down and turned their body into canvases covered with meaningful words
Strike a pose: The words written on their bodies represent how they see themselves, and Robyn posed with 'creative' and 'nurturer' emblazoned on her upper body
While posing provocatively while nude might not immediately seem like a move away from the publication's traditional projects, those behind the shoot insisted that the nakedness was a form of expression, allowing the models involved to express their 'voice, strength and passion... in the rawest form'.
The intention was to use the kinds of images that readers expect from the magazine and then use those as a platform to deliver a more meaningful and empowering message. It is in fact the first time that a fully nude spread — which was shot by a female photographer — will run in the publication, which previously focused more on raunchy shots featuring risque swimwear.
'In Her Own Words is a continuation and evolution of the essence of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit,' the publication explained on its website. 'It is a platform that allows the voice, the strength and the passion of these women to be expressed in the rawest form…on the naked body…with all the artistic and creative control left to them.'
In order to make the models feel as comfortable as possible in the face of the perhaps-daunting prospect of posing nude in front of cameras and a crew of people, the magazine 'stripped down' its studio and used a team comprised of only women for this particular shoot.
'We handed over the control to the women who are our brand,' it explained online. 'We believed in, supported and encouraged them to become a canvas and share their truth.'
Indeed, supermodel Paulina, who had the word 'truth' written on her side, told SI the project is about so much 'more than being naked'.
'It’s not just that you’re nude, but it’s also, "You’re nude and you show me the way you want me to see you." It’s even more naked than naked,' she explained.
'I wanted to say that I’m not ashamed of my body and you shouldn’t be ashamed of your body, no matter what age you are. We all have our own truths. We all want to live according to our own truths. We want to be true to ourselves so truth is what matters more than anything.'
Learning to love herself: Sailor, 19, has been candid about her past struggles with body image, and she said the project helped her accept herself more
Sharing her truth: Sailor wrote 'artist' on her arm and 'lover' on her chest
Exposed: Paulina, 52, posed with the word 'truth' written on her side, and she said the shoot is 'more than being naked'
The powerful project meant a lot to Sailor, who has candidly spoken about how she used to struggle with body image and the pressure to be thin.
'It was really special to be a part of this and get to express myself in a very raw, uncensored way,' she said. 'Having these words written all over your naked body and having that next level of exposure — I felt sexy, obviously, but I felt more emotional and it helped me accept myself.'
Sailor wrote 'artist' on her arm and 'natural' on the curve of her backside before striking an elegant pose for the project.
Meanwhile, Robyn hopes that the shoot will help other girls — including her nearly three-year-old daughter Ripley — realize they more than just a sum of their physical features.
'My daughter is growing up in this world right now and I want her to love who she is because it is so important,' she told SI.
'If she ever came to me and said, "I don’t feel comfortable in my body," I don’t know what I would do. I’d die on the inside. We are women and we are human. We have stretch marks. We have rolls. We have cellulite. That’s all part of our bodies.
'We become so obsessed with our exterior message; we give no thoughts to what’s in our heads,' she added. 'I just want all those girls out there to know they are so beautiful and so special.'
'Mother,' 'nurturer,' 'human,' and 'creative,' were just a few of the words Robyn had scrawled across her body for the shoot.
Parent: Robyn, 28, has a tow-year-old daughter named Ripley, and she had the word 'mother' written below her collar bone
Role model: Robyn stressed that she wants her daughter to grow up loving who she is
For editor MJ Day, the shoot marks a big shift for the publication, and one which she feels has been worked towards for many years now.
She has made concerted efforts to embrace a much more diverse cast of Swimsuit stars, explaining to Vanity Fair that she hopes to continue diversifying the magazine beyond the rather narrow standards of beauty that it once embraced and celebrated.
'Why are we only saying to ourselves that there’s just one type of person that’s worthy of being celebrated?' she asked.
'It’s bull****, and we all know it, and we all live it, yet it’s continued to be propagated in the media.'
She went on to explain to Vanity Fair that t
