Everyone's talking about Gigi Hadid's body hair

One of the most underrated parts of our anatomy is making headlines today after Gigi Hadid revealed a shadow of underarm stubble.

The 22-year-old model appears in a video for the LOVE advent calendar in which she wears a sport’s crop top and raises her arms above her head.

To the apparent shock of some viewers, she has dark patches under her arms.

It’s unclear whether Gigi had forgone the razor, or if she had lint stuck to her armpits (as she was wearing a navy sweater earlier in the video), but it caused a significant stir in the comments sections after the clip was posted on Instagram.

Some of the comments included the likes of; “Disgusting #yuck”, “Horrible armpit hair”, and “Going to vomit now”.

However, there were plenty of others who hit back in support of body hair and defended a woman’s right to do whatever she wants with her own body.


“The last time I checked humans had hair under their armpits since the beginning, it’s normal,” one person wrote, while another said, “It's natural, we should not be pressured or required to shave body hair.”

Others felt empowered by the move and said, “if it’s ok for Gigi then I’m throwing the razors”.

Gigi’s makeup artist Hung Vanngo later said on his own Instagram page that the dark patches were a result of ‘sweat and dust’ on the shoot’s set.

Either way, Gigi isn’t the only female celeb to have ever shown underarm 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 there’s nothing wrong with their body hair. After all, we all have it!
