Wilde is not the only star who has dared to bare the nipple. It has an effect on how we treat one another and how we treat ourselves.” If we are allowed opportunities to celebrate our body, it has an effect. “I think that we can all really benefit from making sure that we don’t allow the stigmatization of women’s bodies to infect our own perspective of ourself. “It’s culturally specific because obviously in other countries there’s less of a fear of the nipple,” Don’t Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde said of her pro-nipple stance to Vogue last year.
But, as society begins to question these norms and stigmas, powerful campaigns such as the Free the Nipple movement have become ever so popular.
Women have been given the messaging throughout history to keep our nipples hidden and private from the world - as if we should somehow be ashamed by this part of our body.
