Despite having wardrobes full of designer clothes, sometimes celebrities just prefer to go without. More specifically, without tops.

But even when they take to the ‘gram to post body-baring selfies, stars are still subject to Instagram’s nudity restrictions. Here are just a few of the ways that A-listers like Lizzo and Bella Hadid have skirted the rules and blown up social media. (Seriously, some of these snaps are so hot, we can’t believe they’re allowed!)

Lizzo confidently posing topless in a stunning Instagram shot.

Lizzo has taken plenty of heat lately from fans who criticize her for glamorizing obesity and for engaging in "unhealthy" dieting methods. Last month, the singer came under fire for her decision to do a 10-day detox, and now, Lizzo is clapping back at the online trolls in the best way: with a topless photo.

 

"I detoxed my body and I'm still fat. I love my body and I'm still fat," the star captioned her powerful photo, in which she leaned over a balcony in her underwear.

 

We're proud of her for taking a stand against the haters!

Bella Hadid showcasing her beauty with a topless Instagram image.

Bella Hadid is never one to shy away from baring it all. As a supermodel, sometimes it's her job to strip down! Case in point: the time she posed topless on Instagram for a Calvin Klein ad campaign for Centrefold.

 

Clad in nothing but her Calvins, Bella quasi-recreated the iconic campaign that Brooke Shields shot for Calvin Klein in 1980. As usual, the it-girl looked absolutely flawless while showing the most amount of skin.

Emily Ratajkowski radiating confidence in a topless Instagram photo.

For some, pregnancy means bundling up in maternity wear, but for Emily Ratajkowski, it's an opportunity to bare it all on the 'gram. In October 2020, the model and actress posted a nude selfie to mark 20 weeks of pregnancy.

 

"20 weeks. Getting to know my new body," the mom-to-be captioned the sultry shot, which showed her posing in front of a full-length mirror. Backlit by the sunshine, EmRata looks like a goddess. That pregnancy glow is real, ya'll!

Miley Cyrus embracing body positivity in a topless social media post.

In December, Miley Cyrus got a little X-rated when she wished everyone a Merry Christmas. "Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more," she captioned a slideshow of topless pics, covering up her chest with her hands. The singer also channeled her rock star aesthetic in several other racy posts that bared tons of skin in a bad Santa outfit.

 

What better way to celebrate the holidays than with a sexy photoshoot?
