I post bikini and nude photos because I finally feel good in my skin,” she wrote below one nude November post. “I don’t do this for compliments or likes. (Although they are very nice indeed). I’m doing it because you see thousands of images of younger women in the same situations. That’s what you’re used to seeing. No one tells them to put their clothes on. By what standard is it ok to ogle a nude teen, but not a mature woman?” Drew Barrymore‘s January 1995 Playboy cover featured the actress wearing a white T-shirt with the iconic Playboy bunny symbol embossed on the fabric. Elizabeth Hurley took showing off her stunning figure to a whole new level with a special Valentine’s Day picture of her posing completely nude in bed. “Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️❤️❤️❤️💗💗💗💗,” she wrote in the caption. We love to see it! Start by talking to them about image sharing in general and ask your child what sort of photos they’d feel comfortable posting online. This will give you a chance to see how much they already know about what is and isn’t appropriate to share. Remind them to never post or send anything that contains personal information and encourage them to come to you if they’re ever asked to share something that makes them feel uncomfortable.

Reassuring them and offering support – remind them they can always talk to you, another trusted adult, or Childline. Burgeoning reality TV star Kim Kardashian made her Playboy debut for the December 2007 issue of the magazine. Supermodel Stephanie Seymour posed alongside Claudia Schiffer for Vogue Italia in 2019, and one very risqué snapshot of Seymour shows her wearing only a low-slung belt and high heels. But why does Pittaluga think it's important for contemporary photography to offer visibility to all body types? ‘I hope that one day this kind of question will no longer exist,’she says. ‘I am focused on giving a voice and visibility to those who are not ortoo littlerepresented. It is very important to me to do everything to deconstruct this hegemony, I am committed to invoking all these fights until they are won.’

But under this flawless skin is a rotten deception, one deepened by a social-media saturated society. ‘Most of the bodies we see online on a daily basis aren’t even real, but rather enhanced or modified by technology to conform to a current, unsustainable trend,’ says LA-based photographer Julia SH, who is exhibiting powerful, textured portraits of bodies rarely depicted in 21st-century media, presented in museum-like frames. ‘In the US, what little nudity permitted is usually shown in a sexual context. Seeing nudes in a museum is one of the only exceptions to this. I created a series where I framed my models as sculptures and works of art in the hope that the viewer will suspend any judgments about whether they find the models sexually attractive or not, or whether their bodies are socially “acceptable”. The more body types we are exposed to, the more pragmatic our view will become.’ For the magazine 60th anniversary, Kate Moss wore the iconic bunnysuit, including ears, for Playboy’s February 2014 issue. Denise Richards also got the holiday treatment for her Playboy cover, appearing in the magazine’s December 2004 issue. Kim Kardashian has been posing naked for the entirety of her career — in many ways, she’s invented and advanced the art form. Her most recent nude magazine cover was in July 2022, when she posed naked for the cover of Allure at age 42 wearing nothing but a giant braid. In September 2022, she also bared her famous derrière for the cover of Interview magazine. In 2011, 40-year-old Nia Long posed both naked and pregnant on the cover of Ebonymagazine (see here via HuffPost UK), showing off her beautiful pregnancy glow and defying expectations about timelines for both pregnancy and posing for sexy nude photos. “I think if we’d just take our time as women, and do what comes natural to us and for us, we would make fewer mistakes,” she told Ebonyat the time. Amen!

J.Lo in her 50s is even more powerful than we could have imagined, from the Benaissance to her entrepreneurial side coming out in full force. Among her new product lines is J.Lo Body, for which she released a fully nude ad campaign of herself on her 53rd birthday this year. It’s not the first time J.Lo has posed naked since she turned 40, and we’re happily confident it won’t be her last. Lindsay Lohan looked gorgeous in the Marilyn Monroe-inspired cover for Playboy’s January/February 2012 issue.Decades later, country singer Dolly Parton made her Playboy debut in 1978. Another couple of decades went by before Parton actually donned her bunny ears again and recreated her cover just for her husband’s birthday. Look out for opportunities in everyday life to start a discussion informally, such as a storyline on TV. This way you can have a conversation about sexting and sharing nudes without it being the main focus. Consider how you talk about this more widely, e.g. when discussing TV shows or news stories, and ensure that you aren’t using victim blaming language. For the December 1999 issue, Naomi Campbell wore a barely-there bra and underwear set with a luxurious white fur wrap. If your child is older you might want to talk to them more directly about sharing nudes online. We know that this can be an awkward topic to bring up so we would recommend reading Childline’s advice on sharing nudes and sexting to give you some tips around how to approach it and what language to use.
