Rachel McAdams embraces natural beauty, keeps armpit hair in latest shoot

In a bold move for body positivity, Hollywood actress Rachel McAdams ensured that her underarm fuzz wasn't airbrushed out of her latest photo shoot.

The star, known for her roles in hit films such as The Notebook and Mean Girls, posed for a fashion magazine and insisted that her natural armpit hair remain untouched.

This decision by Rachel has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many praising her unapologetic stance on body strands. 

The move comes at a time when the fashion and beauty industry is facing increasing pressure to showcase diversity and promote positivity.

The 44-year-old recently opened up about her experience on the set of her latest project, the film adaptation of Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret. 

The coming-of-age story deals with puberty and learning to deal with your frame - a theme that McAdams can relate to, especially as a mother of two.

In an interview with a news outlet, she shared her struggles of pumping breast milk between takes to feed her five-month-old daughter.

"I felt like a milking machine," she said. But the actress didn't let that stop her from looking glamorous on set.

 In fact, after the birth of her first child in 2017, she posed for a different session with a breast pump alongside her couture ensemble.

The Canadian artist believes in the importance of showing the world real figure, even if they don't fit traditional beauty standards.

 "With this shoot, I'm wearing latex underwear," she explained. "But I've had two children.

"This is my body, and I think that's so important to reflect back out to the world. 

"It's okay to look your best and work at it and be healthy, but that's different for everyone."

She is not the first celebrity to embrace her unshaven hair. Other famous women who have spoken out about their choices to leave their underarm hair intact include Madonna, Julia Roberts, and Miley Cyrus.

Critics of the trend argue that it is unhygienic and unattractive, while proponents argue that it is an organic element of the anatomy and should be accepted and celebrated. 

The debate continues, with both sides passionately defending their positions.

Despite the controversy, she has remained resolute in her decision and has stated that she hopes her actions will inspire other women to embrace their natural bodies and feel confident in their own skin.
