Supermodel shows off armpit hair in a powerful photoshoot

New Delhi : With changing times, most celebrities are promoting causes to accept your body the way it is, instead of looking for a perfect body figure. A supermodel Emily Ratajkowski has become the latest celebrity to do a similar thing, she posed for Harper's Bazaar with her arms lifted to proudly show off her armpit hair.

The photo was part of a personal essay she wrote on feminism for the magazine's September issue, reports USA Today.

"I wrote an essay for @harpersbazaarus about the importance of women's right to choose (how she dresses, what she posts, if she decides to shave or not) no matter what influences have shaped the way she presents herself," she wrote while sharing the picture on Instagram.

The 28-year-old supermodel shared the picture on Thursday and it became an instant hit on the social media with around 2 million people liking it within two days.

"You are doing a huge thing: using your privilege to fight for individual freedom and destroying beauty dogmas. Thanks for that," wrote one person in response to the photograph. "You are a true inspiration," said another.

A few months ago, Malaika Arora also shared a 'behind the scenes' picture with an exposed armpit that took social media by storm.
