Emily Ratajkowski

French Vogue noted that Instagram stars* have been actively posting nude photos lately, calling it the “wind of freedom” on the social network. If Emily Ratajkowski regularly posts such pictures, Kendall Jenner recently delighted subscribers with a candid photo for the first time in a long time: a nude model sunbathing by the pool. On July 12, Britney Spears posted photos of herself swimming completely nude in her pool.

Vogue writers are confident that there is more to it than a trend. Nude photos have become a symbol of women’s struggle for their rights. So for years Ratajkowski has been committed to women’s right to self-determination over their own bodies. By regularly appearing naked on her social media, she has made it clear that this is synonymous with female power. For Britney, such photos have become a symbol of liberation from the tutelage, with which she fought for 13 years.

And the list of stars who use such photos as a manifesto or message to the public does not end there. For example, Hilary Duff commented on her nude appearance on the cover of Women’s Health this May:

Ashley Graham also posted nude photos during her pregnancy and after becoming a mother to talk candidly about accepting her body.

Paulina Porizkova literally “broke” the internet with her nude photos last year, opposing the idea that “sexuality and nudity are welcome in a woman’s youth, but not in adulthood”.

The trend is supported by some domestic stars. For example, nude photos are published by Lyubov Tolkalina, Varvara Shmykova, Ksenia Sobchak and others.
