'This is my body': Rachel McAdams, 44, poses with her armpit hair showing after asking magazine to use MINIMAL retouching on revealing shoot
Rachel McAdams is celebrating her body in a raw, minimally-edited photo shoot displaying her natural beauty, armpit hair and all.
The Mean Girls actress, 44, showed off her armpit hair as she lounged on a plush couch in a shoot for Bustle.
According to the article, minimal editing was done on the pictures at the request of Rachel herself.
The hair was also visible in another shot of Rachel posing in a sleeveless white dress which clung to her physique.
Rachel, who shares a son and daughter with her partner Jamie Linden, told Bustle: 'With this shoot, I’m wearing latex underwear. 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 OK to look your best and work at it and be healthy, but that’s different for everyone,' she added.

Rachel is currently promoting her upcoming film Are You There God? It's Me Margaret, a film adaptation of the wildly popular book by Judy Blume.
In her lengthy interview with Bustle, Rachel admitted to still feeling 'guilty' about taking a two-year break from Hollywood, at the height of her career in the mid-2010s, to 'stay sane.'
While reflecting on her shocking decision to turn down starring roles in The Devil Wears Prada, Casino Royale, Mission: Impossible III, Iron Man, and Get Smart, the actress revealed her break made her wonder if she was 'throwing it all away.'
'I felt guilty for not capitalizing on the opportunity that I was being given, because I knew I was in such a lucky spot,' she confessed. 'But I also knew it wasn't quite jiving with my personality and what I needed to stay sane.'
Despite occasionally feeling regretful for not taking a role, the Academy Award nominee said she always takes a step back and thinks: 'That was the right person for that.'
During her brief hiatus from acting, the mother-of-two said she was not initially aware 'why' she was taking time off.
'It's taken years to understand what I intuitively was doing,' Rachel explained to Bustle, nodding to prioritizing her mental health as she grappled with navigating fame at a young age.
She continued: I guess I always had a sense that it would be OK; either it’s going to work out or it’s not.'

'I'd vomit if my wife had armpit hair like this': Rachel McAdams sparks FURIOUS debate about body hair after proudly baring her unshaven armpits...
- The actress, 44, proudly flaunted her natural beauty during the recent shoot
- But many people on the web have slammed her for not shaving her armpits
- Some branded her as 'nasty'
Rachel McAdams has received a slew of ugly comments from people who called her 'nasty,' 'tasteless,' and 'gross' for not shaving her under arms - after she showed off her hairy armpits during a recent photoshoot for Bustle magazine.
The actress, 44, proudly flaunted her natural beauty during the raw, minimally-edited shoot, while reminding readers that 'looking your best' is 'different for everyone.'
The photoshoot sparked a furious debate on social media about body hair - with some people praising the Mean Girls alum for her confidence and others branding it as a 'turn off' and stating that they will 'never look at her the same again.'
'Gross, no thanks,' one person wrote on Twitter, while another simply said, 'Ew.'
JACI STEPHEN: No, Rachel McAdams, it’s NOT normal for us gals to have bushy armpits. Give us razors, tweezers and - yes! - shears to hack it all off… because hairy women just aren’t attractive
This week, the 44-year-old actress gave an interview to Bustle magazine and flaunted her ‘real’ body in the accompanying photoshoot which we’ve been asked to believe was ‘minimally’ retouched.
There she is, lying resplendent on a lush red couch, lingerie-clad, hair blown out, makeup caked on…. Oh, and with a mat of armpit hair on display.
‘Go Rachel! How empowering,’ we all didn’t say.
‘Life is long and shaving is intense,’ the Notebook star explained. ‘Once you start, you can never stop.’
But what McAdams has failed to realize is that most normal women don’t want to stop looking their best.
Memo to the fanatical purple-haired liberals: just because it’s 2023 and you’re all in the grip of a rampaging woke virus doesn’t change that.
The multi-billion-dollar beauty industry thrives for good reason: we women – and I’m talking biological adult females – are willing to put in the hours in front of the mirror.
You never saw the likes of Princess Diana, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn spread-eagled like McAdams, looking their slovenly worst. And their reputations as the greatest beauties of all time seem relatively intact.
