Celebrities Who Posed Nude on Purpose

There have been incidences like when well-known stars posed nude mistakenly. Such as when Cardi B uploaded her nude pics or when Chris Evans’s unfortunate nude shot at the NSFW. You can refer to them as inevitable celebrities oops moments. Many celebs have become victims of nude photo leaks, and that’s something they have endorsed as a part of the package. They are celebrities, after all, people would try to exploit their fame in more than one way.

However, some celebrities posted their nude pics purposefully and willfully. You can credit the ongoing trend of posing nude to the rise of the Kardashian clan or the internet. Whatever the case, there’s no denying that posting nude photos to grab headlines and eyeballs has become a norm in Hollywood. Some celebrities are so proud of their bodies, especially when pregnant, that they regularly pose nude for the camera and happily share their photos with their fans. Today, we will check out 28 such celebs who posted their nude photos and took the world of the internet by storm.

Jana Kramer

Former One Tree Hill star is the first celeb to feature in the list of celebrities who posed nude and are proud about it. Jana Kramer recently posted a photo in which she is completely naked and shows off her incredibly fit post-pregnancy body and breast implants. She shared the photo with a strong message that read. That’s not the first time Kramer posed nude. In 2018, when the country singer and actress was pregnant, she posed topless for US Weekly magazine. Kramer was joined by her husband Mike Caussin and daughter Jolie Rae. Though the shoot was for family portraits, Jana is entirely naked from the top in one of the photos. In fact, she unbuttoned her jeans to show off the baby bump while she covered her breasts with her arm.

“All I know is I was good enough before, and I’m good enough now.”

“I feel prettier pregnant,” .

Elizabeth Hurley

If there’s one celeb in the entertainment industry who knows well how to pose nude and appear decent instead of looking vulgar, it is Liz Hurley. She is also well aware that posting nude photos is the ideal way to get attention from the media and fans. When she had to clear the air about recent rumors that she was to feature in a reality show, which actually she wasn’t, the actress released a statement with a nude photo where she is sitting in a rural retreat.

The 55-year-old star wowed her admirers with this stunning photo where she looks simply gorgeous. She sits cross-legged while her wavy locks cover her bare breasts and shoulders in a flattering way. Her body is truly enviable in this photo, and her fans were quick to relay their feelings to her. A vast majority of her fans shared the consensus that she looked elegant and beautiful.

Megan Fox

Megan Fox is probably one of the most beautiful and sexy actresses we have seen in a long time. Ever since her big debut in the franchise movies Transformers, boys of all ages have lust over her. She oozes sex appeal in every move she makes.

“It’s not that I don’t appreciate it, it’s just that I feel undeserving of it. I get really embarrassed and I don’t know how to handle it. It’s like I’m in my underwear every other week in a magazine, so it’s not like I’m trying to hide it. There’s nothing wrong with being sexy or being sexual or being a woman. I’m not afraid of that. I just don’t necessarily like to talk about myself that way.”
 
“I haven’t even thought about doing nudity in films, but I’m gonna say that I’m leaning towards ‘no,’ as of right now. I can’t speak for the future. People change. It can be beautiful. And it can have a great impact. And it can win you an Oscar. I mean, not the nudity itself, but the role.”

Paulina Porizkova

Paulina had also posed nude for Los Angeles Magazine, and at the time of this shoot, she was 56 years old. Her slim and trim body speaks volumes about the effort and time Porizkova has invested in keeping herself fit as she age. The former Czech supermodel has appeared on around 21 Vogue covers as well as countless shoots for Sports Illustrated, where she appeared in bikinis throughout the 1980s, 90s, and 2000s. And, each one of her nude appearances has been exquisite and tastefully done, even this random photo from her gram.

Paulina Porizkova is known for her nude photoshoot for Vogue Czechoslovakia. She grabbed headlines for showing off her fit and healthy body at the age of 55. However, much before she stripped down for the magazine, she had posted this nude photo on her Instagram, which not many know about.

Josh Brolin

The actor bid farewell to an utterly devastating and stressful 2020 with a fully naked photo, which, interestingly, was clicked by his better half. Josh Brolin can be seen stretching out and relaxing on a patio chair while keeping his feet on the table. We can see a mug in his hand, and probably he’s drinking something. Nonetheless, this is an unusual way to pose nude for a photo, but we love the carefree vibes this picture exudes.

“At the end of the day a life will judged by how often you were naked. Nobody told they meant metaphorically.”

The 52-year-old American actor posted this photo on his Instagram. Though Brolin and his wife, 33-year-old Kathryn, have moved out of Los Angeles and now reside in Simi Valley, Atlanta, we aren’t sure where this gorgeous photo was taken. Do you have any idea?

Chelsea Handler

Going topless seems to be the favorite leisurely activity for actress Chelsea Handler. We have seen her posting topless photos multiple times already. Such as the racy photoshoot when she promoted her favorite books while observing isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The comedian covered her bare breasts with three books while sitting in a bathtub. She posted this photo with the caption:

“Do you like to have fun in the tub with learning? I do. I will be sharing #GetLitWithChelsea recommendations bi-monthly if you care to read some of my picks and keep your brain from turning into a pancake during quarantine.”

Chelsea Handler

The photo you see here is somewhat similar. The only difference is that Chelsea is delivering an important message to the nation this time. She is topless and standing in her kitchen, urging people to vote.

Kaia Gerber

In July 2020, former supermodel Cindy Crawford’s daughter and emerging model Kaia Gerber posed nude for Vogue Japan to celebrate her nineteenth birthday. Apart from her sensational pose and gorgeous body, what grabbed our attention was her uncanny resemblance to her mother. Don’t you think she looks exactly like her mom from figure to height and facial expressions?

Miss Gerber can be seen sprawling on the floor. She’s only wearing a pair of thigh-high boots and posing seductively, while covering her breast with a star emoji. Kaia’s photographers for this high-fashion editorial were Luigi and Iango. The model also shared the photo on her gram with the caption- “nineteen.” Later, Luigi and Iango also shared several pics from this stunning photoshoot and wished Kaia happy birthday:

“Happy Birthday to this beautiful Gem 💗 @kaiagerber we looooove you 💗,”.

Ashley Graham

Ashley Graham is known for showing off and being proud of her plus-size body. She had broken many barriers all along. The 340-year-old model has redefined what it means to be sexy and sensual. She also sparked a debate by boldly posting a photo exposing her unshaven armpits. Graham has been posting nude photos throughout her pregnancy journey, shattering so many stereotypes and taboos along the way. In December 2021, Graham posted a photo showing her significantly large baby bump as she is expecting twins, standing nude in front of the camera. She posted this photo with an inspiring caption that read:

“Justin says my stretch marks look like the tree of life.”

Ashley Graham

The plus-size model is seen clicking a selfie in the photo you see here. She is standing in her bathroom and covering her breasts with one arm. We must admit, the confidence is next level, and we have become out-and-out admirers of this path-breaking diva.

Céline Dion

Acclaimed singer Céline Dion isn’t one of those celebs whom we would expect to pose nude, but it seems like we don’t know the iconic singer as well since in this photo, she’s posing nude and looking ravishing. This photo is from 2017 when Dion went nude for Vogue magazine.

This photo is definitely exquisite and unusual from the gold-colored wavy locks to the dramatic smoky eyes and the enviable body. Dion is sitting cross-legged on a dressing chair, wearing nothing. We wonder why those knee-high python boots are lying around? Nevertheless, the drama and element of the mystic are definitely on point.  Imagine she was 49 when she posed for Vogue in 2017. Reportedly, this no-filter image was clicked while she was attending Paris Fashion Week and was taking a break in between her many costume changes.

John Legend

John-Roger Stephens, aka John Legend, needs no introduction. The American producer, songwriter, and singer won an Academy Award for co-writing the single Glory for the movie Selma. He won a Golden Globe for the same song in 2015. In 2017, Stephens won a Tony Award as a co-producer for the Broadway drama Jitney.

However, contrary to his public persona, John Legend has a fun, and quirky side to his personality while his wife Chrissy Teigen decided to share it with the world when she posted this nude photo of hubby dear on Instagram. We hope she got the ace singer’s nod for posting this photo. Its funny how Chrissy is using her leg to protect her husband’s modesty.

Demi Moore

A little over thirty years ago, in 1991, Demi Moore posed naked for Vanity Fair cover. She was heavily pregnant at the time, and this is one of the most talked-about photos ever. It even featured in Time’s 100 Most Influential Images of All Times because of the uproar it caused and for redefining the way women felt about their bodies when being pregnant.

This photo, clicked by acclaimed photographer Annie Leibovitz, shows a 7 month pregnant Moore covering her breasts with one arm and cuddling her baby bump with the other arm. This iconic image set a new trend, and by the 2000s, many pregnant celebrities started getting themselves clicked in more or less a similar pose. Today, pregnancy photoshoots have become a mandatory practice all over the world.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Now that’s what we would call the perfect way to market your skin products- by flaunting your beautiful body naked out in the sun. Gwyneth Paltrow shared this nude photo of hers on Instagram, revealing to the world how she was feeling comfortable in her skin because of using Goop’s newly launched body butter.

There’s no doubt Paltrow looks smashing in the photo. Her tall, slender, sun-kissed body is simply awe-worthy. This photo proves that Gwyneth is still sexy and can confidently pose nude in her garden. Looks like her daughter Apple disapproved of this pose as she commented “MOM” under the photo. But we are completely in awe of this click. The 48-year-old wellness mastermind claims that the secret to her timeless beauty is green juice and cold water therapy.

Chrissy Teigen

After featuring her naked husband on Instagram, Chrissy Teigen thought it was reasonable to post her nude photo. After all she’s a swimsuit model, so this seems to be a regular part of her job. But, lounging around without wearing a bikini seems to be Chrissy’s favorite activity, as we have seen her far too many times in a similar getup if we can call it so. Perhaps, the model is quite comfortable in her skin and is never reluctant to show off her hot body.

But, this photo is different

because here, Chrissy is posing nude to show off her baby bump and pregnant body. We truly admire her for the inspiring caption that followed this photo. It revealed how excited and peaceful she felt for having babies and had no issues sacrificing her sexy body.

“The best thing I’ve ever made are my babies. thank you for making me a mommy and changing my life forever.”

Chrissy Teigen

Brooke Burke

Ex-Playboy model the 47-year-old Brooke Burke, posted a bottomless picture of hers on Instagram to make everyone realize that it was possible to have a well-toned and fit body at any age. She noted that posting such a photo wasn’t easy for her considering that she was in her late forties and that people on social media get too judgmental most of the time.

However, this jaw-dropping photo, clicked by photographer Sarah Organic, stunned everyone for sure. Burke can be seen sporting a pink crop top. The former model is standing in a slightly tilted pose with her hands on the wall for support. In the caption that followed the post, she wrote:

“Going for it! It took me a bit to get the courage to post. This female curated shoot which represents many things for me. Vulnerability, sensuality, confidence. Yaaasss we can be sexy strong and YES you can tone, sculpt & reshape your beautiful body at every age.”

Justin Bieber

The Love Yourself singer showed off his naked bottom in 2016 in a picture he shared on Instagram with a quirky caption that read:

“Dat ass doe.”

He’s clearly poking fun at this somewhat vulnerable pic, don’t you think so? The hitmaker’s snap shows him dipping his toe slightly into the water while he’s standing at the edge of an unidentified lake.

The Canadian singer has posted nude photos multiple times. Such as the one where he exposes his body fully along with his then-girlfriend Sahara Ray, who chose to go topless as they sunbathe and take a dip in the cool waters of an unidentified waterfall. Seems like Justin has a penchant for going bare-bodied when he’s in the tropics.

Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara waited until she turned 45 to gather the courage to pose nude. The photo you see here is her first-ever fully naked picture, which she did for the cover of Women’s Health magazine’s Naked issue. Vergara noted that she decided mainly because she wanted to normalize being comfortable in your skin and flaunt your body at every age. The Modern Family star revealed that she wasn’t into pushing the boundaries when it came to keeping herself fit.

 “Here’s a woman, 45, being able to show her body. It’s not like before, when it was just young girls”.

“It’s not about having muscle or cut abs. I don’t have abs because I’m not ‘I need to be like a fit model with a perfect body.’ That would take too much effort!.

Vergara

Erika Jayne

Erika Jayne is one celebrity who doesn’t give a dime about what people think about her and keeps on sharing nude and semi-nude photos on her gram. In fact, it won’t be wrong to state that she made a business out of showing up on your TV screens in barely-there dresses. We must laud the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ star for her gorgeous figure and infinite confidence. In this photo, the actress decided to hide her private parts with star emojis, and we are still guessing the need to do that when she’s posed nude so many times before. And, before people started getting judgmental, she revealed what made her take this photo.

“Mikey made me do it … Miami nights….1. This is my pre DWTS body 2. I am not currently in Miami but am in NYC.”

Jayne

Lizzo

Have you ever seen such voluptuous curves before? Well, we must laud the 32-years-old Truth Hurts singer for being courageous enough to get herself clicked naked, perched on a red velvet couch. This caption accompanies the photo:

“Paint me like ya French bitch.”

“I detoxed my body and I’m still fat. I love my body and I’m still fat. I’m beautiful and I’m still fat. These things are not mutually exclusive,”.

Lizzo

Here, Lizzo paraphrases the lines uttered by a breathless Kate Winslet in Titanic. Maybe she’s asking Leo DiCaprio to make her sketches as he did for Kate in the movie. Lizzo recently surprised everyone by deciding to do a ten-day juice cleanse and was heavily criticized for promoting diet culture. She insisted that she wasn’t starving herself but just trying to detox her body.

Josh Brolin

This Prevail Activewear selfie surprised everyone as Josh Brolin and his wife Kathryn appeared in a photo where the 49-year-old actor flaunts his amazing body while his wife is more covered than him. For your information, Brolin’s stepmom is acclaimed actress Barbara Streisand. We wonder what stepmom would have said after looking at this photo.

Brolin is clearly proud of his six packs as he growls into the camera while wifey shows off her muscular arms, jamming a toothbrush into her mouth. The photo has a rather funny caption where Josh wrote that the new activewear is pure insanity.

“Prevail Activewear- apparel which induces total insanity, enables you to talk in tongues, and uber-familiarizes you with your package.”

Josh

Emily Ratajkowski

We don’t need to blow any mind for checking out this particular photo. Emily Ratajkowski’s body is definitely desirable and she has no issues flaunting it from all the right angles. This photo is incredibly sexy and shows her curves flatteringly.

In fact, Emily’s body has remained at the forefront of her public image since she appeared in the music video of Robin Thicke’s song Blurred Lines. Recently, Emily revealed that she was okay with this image and had no issues getting her body commodified. This model is surely a pro at posing nude and creating a brand of her own when it comes to naked pictures.

Kourtney Kardashian

If you think that Kim Kardashian is the only one of the Kardashian-Jenner clan who had posed nude, you are gravely mistaken. The family has a deep, unraveled penchant for nude photos. Nudity is almost synonymous with them. The Kardashian sisters have never hesitated from baring it all and let’s be honest, we love them for being bold and courageous enough to flaunt their bodies.

We believe that the Kardashians would go down in history as the nipple free-ers and nakedness crusaders. Look at this photo of Kourtney Kardashian. Isn’t she looking like a million bucks? Those curves and the sheer level of confidence Kourtney exudes is definitely next level. Two thumbs up for posing nude in such a sensational yet sophisticated manner.

Ricky Martin

Who says that only females can post nude photos? Men also have hot bodies, which they like to flaunt now and then. And there’s nothing wrong with that, isn’t it? So, let’s check out this pic posted by Ricky Martin to tease his fans. Martin seems to be in a hotel room and has strategically used the towel to hide his modesty. Clever thinking, we say.

We bet you would agree that the 46-year-old singer looks as hot as he did two decades back. In 2010, the Puerto Rican hitmaker revealed that he was gay and was proud of it.

“I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am,” Ricky Martin said back then. Apart from giving us hits like She Bangs and Livin’ la Vida Loca, Ricky is an actor as well and has signed for Season 2 of American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace.

Sia

There are all sorts of people using the internet, some of whom have nefarious objectives, and Sia is one of the victims of these cybercriminals. They hack the mobile phones of celebrities and leak their photos, most of the time nude photos. Sia suffered an embarrassing leak of her naked photos back in 2017.

Instead of feeling down or humiliated, she prevented the hackers from making money out of her photos. When she saw her private photos circulating on the web, she quickly took the air out of the balloon by posting her nudes on her gram and telling people to ignore those being distributed by hackers.

“Someone is apparently trying to sell naked photos of me to my fans. Save your money, here it is for free. Everyday is Christmas!”

Sia

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is known for pushing the boundaries and exploring new domains to make music. She broke many taboos with her songs and even otherwise. The singer has been swarmed with scandals throughout her career. We would have liked to believe that her posing nude was the most scandalous thing she did in her career, but that’s not the case. How can we forget the meat dress?

The photo you see here was clicked in 2018. We can see the curvy figure of this pop phenomenon of our age, with strategically placed blurs to protect the nips. Lady Gaga is never hesitant of posing nude. The 35-year-old singer appeared in November’s issue of Vogue Italia and December issue of British Vogue, where she shocked everyone with her nude photos clicked by acclaimed US photographer Steven Meisel.

Amber Rose

This full-frontal shot of Amber Rose shows her sitting on a stairwell, clad in a bikini top, black fur jacket, and a chunky diamond choker. While haters kept hating the photo, her fans found it amazing, and the number of her followers went up suddenly. Rose’s entrepreneur and activist have been vocal about her likes and dislikes and recently trolled none other than pop queen Beyoncé. The hashtag # amberroseslutwalk accompanied the picture. That’s an annual event from Rose where she raised awareness about gender inequality and sexual injustice.

Kanye West’s ex posted this bottomless picture of hers on Twitter back in 2017 with an interesting caption-

“Imma post this one more time for the haters.”

Kendall Jenner

there’s no doubt that the human body is beautiful, and no one family has celebrated this beauty more than the Kardashians. The family likes to celebrate their beautiful bodies frequently and even pose nude to promote social causes. Don’t you remember Khloe Kardashian’s iconic ad for PETA that ran the caption- “I’d rather go naked than wear fur.”

And, sometimes, the Kardashian-Jenner sisters like to pose nude to market their products and projects. Every time Kim launches a new product, she promotes it with a nude photo. However, in this particular picture, Kendell doesn’t seem like promoting anything but just celebrating her incredibly fit body. To stay in line with Instagram’s rule for hiding female nipples, which according to the social networking site is the only thing that constitutes nudity,

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Flaunting your body while pregnant and showing off your baby bump has become the raging trend. This is a welcome change from when celebrities used to keep the news of their pregnancy a secret and even avoided getting pregnant altogether. Times have changed, and how!

Here you see a very proud and confident Rosie Huntington-Whiteley rocking her enormous baby bump. The beauty of this photo is that the black-and-white image creates a very artsy vibe around this photo. We are totally in love with the contentedness visible on Rosie’s face and the sheer elegance she’s exuding in this pose despite being naked. What do you think about this one?

Kylie Jenner

When the Kardashian-Jenner sisters pose nude, they go for it all out and don’t just give glimpses or hints of their bodies. Perhaps, this is why they have aced the art of going nude, as all their photos, which are actually quite a few of them, are clicked tastefully and in an artistic manner. The family is certainly very comfortable with their bodies as everyone from Kylie, Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé to Kris Jenner have all don’t it from time to time.

This picture is one of those many states of undress Kylie Jenner has undergone so far. The caption ‘Vacation mode” is spot on as we can see the excitement and vitality on Kylie’s face evident from her expressions. The hat is supposedly doing a lot in this nude snap as it covers Kylie’s face to focus on the body.

Kim Kardashian West

The first time a nude picture of Kim Kardashian-West surfaced on the web was a leaked image. However, since then, Kim made it a point to post her nudes herself to prevent hackers from monetizing her private clicks. In this sensual photo, the founder of KKW Beauty can be seen lounging on a bed seductively while covering her nipples strategically. This picture was clicked for an advertisement for her upcoming makeup line. The photo had this caption.

“A little silver eye this morning! Flashing Lights Collection by @david_lachapelle Available this Friday Exclusively on Kkwbeauty.com”

On the personal front, Kim filed for divorce from West in February after seven years of marriage. According to insiders, the pair is working on “rebuilding the foundation of their relationship.” Kim hasn’t withdrawn her divorce petition yet and even came out in support of Kanye recently during his Donda listening event in Chicago by recreating their wedding.

Demi Lovato

At a time when fans suspected that Demi Lovato was wary of posing nude and was sharing glimpses of her cleavage on purpose to gain attention, she was quick to clear the air, stating that she had no problems with posing nude and had already done it before. That’s true as she did a cover for Vanity Fair back in 2015, where she stripped down and showed her assets.

“I love how everyone’s freaking out about one picture. It’s not nude and it’s just cleavage. Besides, the world has seen me nude BY CHOICE before.”

Demi Lovato

The video you should see on Youtube is from when she posed nude for VF. All that we can say is that it is okay when celebrities choose to post their nude photos. But if the photos have been leaked without their consent, refrain from clicking on them or circulating them because it violates their privacy and is disrespectful.
