Chelsea Manning stuns in photos for Vogue

Just months after her release from prison, former U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning has posed for Vogue.

Manning tweeted a photo of herself on Thursday sporting a red one piece bathing suit on a beach. "Guess this is what freedom looks like," she wrote, adding a link to the full Vogue profile piece.

She was photographed by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz and will appear in the magazine's September issue.

Manning was convicted of leaking classified U.S. documents via WikiLeaks in 2013 and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Former President Barack Obama commuted her sentence just days before he left office.

The former intelligence officer came out as transgender shortly after her trial. She was the first military prisoner to begin hormone therapy. Manning was released from prison on May 17.
