We imagine as members of the non-paparazzi’d community, that being a celeb and having people constantly vying for pics, scandals and insights into every element of your life would get kinda exhausting. Some end up hiding out from the spotlight, avoiding social media and generally being pretty private. But not everyone. Which leads us to these celebrity thirst traps and all the times that celebrity nudes were posted to Instagram by the very people who took ’em.
Some names on this list are a given. The newly blonde Emily Ratajkowski, for example, is no stranger to the IG nearly-naked selfie. Embracing one’s body and celebrating it doesn’t even always have to have sexual connotations either, as the activist and model would remind us.
At the end of the day, bodies are just bodies. And if everyone here is a chill, consenting adult we see no issue with a self-confident thirst-trap or an artful semi-nude photo every now and then. What we’d really love? A couple more bods on this list that are outside typical beauty conventions. Thanks again Lizzo, for doing the lord’s work.
