A million reasons why I wanted to post this picture. Obviously #rachelmcadams looks incredible and was quite literally the dream to work with but also this shoot was about 6 months post her giving birth to her son, so between shots she was expressing/pumping as still breastfeeding. We had a mutual appreciation disagreement about who’s idea it was to take this picture but I’m still sure it was hers which makes me love her even more. 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. Besides she’s wearing Versace and @bulgariofficial diamonds and is just fucking major. Big shout out to all the girls 💪🏽 #rachelmcadams for @girls.girls.girls.magazine cover shoot 📸 @clairerothstein #pleaseshare Side note: I did not look anywhere near as fabulous as this when feeding/pumping. And that’s ok too.

The 40-year-old actress is a new mum and recently had a photo-shoot with Girls Girls Girls magazine founder and photographer, Claire Rothstein. The picture has gone viral on social media as McAdams' take on embracing motherhood got a whole new level of emancipation. She posed for the photo while pumping her breast milk. It prompted a debate on normalising working women using breast pumps.

"This shoot was about 6 months post her giving birth to her son, so between shots she was expressing/pumping as still breastfeeding," Rothstein explained on Instagram

Multitasking is the one trait any newly mother has to master. And, the Oscar-winning 'Spotlight' actress proved it right! According to Rothstein, it was McAdams' idea to capture the moment of breast-pumping while wearing Versace clothes and Bulgari diamonds.

And, we cannot not love her even more.

"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," said Rothstein. "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."

McAdams had a closely guarded pregnancy, away from the glamorous social media world. She is yet to disclose her son's name. " your life is not your own any more, but I had 39 years of me, I was sick of me, I was so happy to put the focus on some other person," she told The Sunday Times. "I have clothes on and that's a good thing. I don't even know what I'm wearing today. The shoes are held together with glue. Isn't that sad? I need to get a life."

Netizens praised the actor and photographer for the image:
