Stunning supermodel, Starlie Smith, or Queen Starlie as she calls herself on social media, took to her Instagram account and posted a selfie of her skin without any make-up.

“WHO CARES IF YOU HAVE ACNE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL,” she wrote alongside the picture.

“A love note to myself & others struggling #honest”

The model posted the selfie after she was slammed online after the Dolce and Gabbana show when people pointed out her spots.

Starlie is part of the band The Atomics with her brother and sister and she’s also a kickass model.
