15 Celebrities Who Had Gone Braless At Least Once

You would have had to be living under a rock for the past decade if you haven’t heard of the, Free the Nipple movement, which is perhaps best known for its notoriety in being, for some, a distraction in modern feminist discourses, from more pertinent issues faced by women in the 21st century. Despite what critics claim, for better or for worse, banishing bras has very real political connotations for women and has surely taken the fashion world by storm as more and more female celebrities embrace this risqué aesthetic. The idea is to own and celebrate one’s femininity and sexuality on one’s own terms and two normalize nudity in a way that forces the male gaze to desexualize it. To what extent this is true in impact is open to debate but regardless of what whether you yourself choose to skip the bra, in your next ensemble, it is hard to deny that the women who have chosen this braless lifestyle surely seem to find it freeing and empowering! More power to them in making choices about their bodies!

Free the Nipple is a movement as old as third-wave bra-burning activism but just now has taken the fashion world by storm as more and more celebrities, new and old, across the industry have opted to do away with the bra or to display their nipples as men have always without it ever being a big deal. Despite skeptical voices, no one can deny that the fashionable aspect of the trend has shifted the image from a crazy bra-burning feminist stereotype to a fashionable, powerful and unbothered by your judgment image of the movement which has only let it gain momentum. Many celebrities also rail against the Instagram policy that censors female nipples but not male nipples, highlighting the absurdity of the double standard. Whether you agree or not or like or dislike the trend, there’s no lying that activism has never been more fashionable, and the list of celebrities seen sporting the no-bra look is a list that keeps on growing with every passing day. 2019 is definitely the year of the No Bra and we are living for it!
