One of the most underrated parts of our bodies is making headlines today after Gigi Hadid revealed a hint of armpit stubble.
The 22-year-old model can be seen in a video for the LOVE Advent calendar, in which she wears a sporty crop top and stretches her arms above her head.
To the obvious shock of some viewers, she has dark spots under her arms.
It’s unclear if Gigi had skipped the razor or if there was lint stuck to her armpits (since she was wearing a navy blue sweater earlier in the video), but the clip caused considerable excitement in the comments after it was posted on Instagram.
Some of the comments included: “Disgusting #yuck”, “Horrible armpit hair” and “I feel sick now”.
However, there were also many others who advocated for body hair and defended a woman’s right to do what she wanted with her body.
“As far as I know, humans have always had armpit hair. It’s normal,” wrote one person, while another said, “It’s natural. We shouldn’t be pressured or forced to shave our body hair.”
Others felt empowered by the move and said: “If it’s okay with Gigi, then I’ll throw away the razors.”
Gigi’s makeup artist Hung Vanngo later explained on his own Instagram page that the dark spots were caused by “sweat and dust” on the set of the shoot.
Be that as it may, Gigi is not the only female celebrity to have ever shown armpit hair.
Madonna, her daughter Lourdes, Miley Cyrus, Kendall Jenner, Sophia Loren, Julia Roberts, Britney Spears, Penelope Cruz, Drew Barrymore and Scout Willis have all proudly shown that there is nothing wrong with their body hair. After all, we all have it!
