Kathy Ireland shows trim figure

As a top model, Kathy Ireland bared her curves multiple times for Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue.

On Friday, she bares her curves again, this time for People magazine. Only the curves on view include a generous roll of flab, sandwiched between the waistband of her pants and a clingy, white tank top.

Ireland tells People the unflattering photo was taken by her son as she baked cookies at the family's Santa Barbara home.

"He said, 'Mom, you look pregnant,' " Ireland tells People. "I didn't recognize the person I saw. I saw someone who looked overwhelmed, overstressed, overweight, over-everything."
