Whoa Rachel McAdams, is that you?!
The Mean Girls alum and proud new momma is receiving high praise, after a super glam shot captured of her pumping breastmilk while on a photo shoot was posted on Instagram. And tbh, all of the mommy-shamers out there better take a seat because this whole look is way too stunning to take issue with!

Claire Rothstein, photographer and founder of the magazine Girls Girls Girls, shared the BTS look of the cover star tackling motherhood while decked out in Versace and a Bulgari diamond necklace (below):
There’s a line in the lengthy caption (above) that really says what we’re all thinking here: this is f***ing major.
Rothstein explains that the shoot actually happened about 6 months after Rachel welcomed her first child with boyfriend Jamie Linden. And just like millions of other mommas out there who return to work after giving birth, the actress still has to provide for her bundle of joy at home. The publication’s founder saw the beauty of this moment in between shots, captured it and posted with McAdams blessing (who also reposted the shot herself!).
The latter half of the caption reads:
“Breastfeeding is the most normal thing in the world and I can’t for the life of me imagine why or how it is ever frowned upon or scared of. I don’t even think it needs explaining but just wanted to put this out there, as if it even changes one person’s perception of something so natural, so normal, so amazing then that’s great.”
Many applauded the 40-year-old for the powerful picture, with many users commenting and agreeing with the above sentiment:
“That’s how it should be, it’s natural and normal. Beautiful shot!”
“Love that this is plastered on timelines everywhere! Beautiful photo of a very relatable motherhood moment.”
“@clairerothstein this is amazing. I found when I was breastfeeding most people found it strange and looked at me as if I was crazy. There is no other way as natural and wonderful to connect with your baby than to breastfeed and to me this photo just makes it even more normal. You can be beautiful a supermodel a stay at home mom a working mom any kind of mom and breast-feeding is normal and wonderful thank you for this photo.”
While many other experienced mommas couldn’t help but point out how impressive McAdams’ supply is, LOLz:
“She’s rockin’ the milk production! Lucky baby!”
“I get more out of my left side too!!”
“If only I looked this badass while pumping. Also, I know those Spectra pump accessories when I see them.”
