Bra-clad Miley Cyrus showcases hairy armpits in Terry Richardson shoot (2024)

Miley Cyrus continued to showcase her hairy armpits in a new shoot at Terry Richardson's Manhattan studio.

'Thank you for not retouching my body hair like SOME people,' the 22-year-old pop diva captioned the snap on Monday.

The artist formerly known as Hannah Montana has clearly embraced her feminist side, and her body hair has become a full-on trend.

Other famous females who've proudly displayed their armpit hair include Jemima Kirke, Madonna, Julia Roberts, Kelly Rowland, Drew Barrymore, Scout Willis, Helena Bonham Carter, Beth Ditto, and Amanda Palmer.

'There's something empowering about what I'm doing right now,' Cyrus told Rolling Stone back in 2013.

'Especially having "short hair don't care." I think it's empowering for girls. Because there's not one thing that defines what beauty is.'

Miley - born Destiny - has enlisted the 49-year-old photographer for numerous, scantily-clad shoots - including two Harper's Bazaar spreads in 2013.

The controversial lensman - nicknamed 'Uncle Terry' - even helmed her Sinéad O'Connor-inspired music video for Wrecking Ball that same year.

Richardson's reputation is as risqué as his sexually-charged portraits, but he's vehemently denied all allegations of inappropriate sexual behaviour with numerous nubile models.

In fact, puss* Riot rocker Nadezhda 'Nadya' Tolokonnikova just apologised to her fellow feminist fans for participating in a recent shoot with Terry.

'I really didn't know about allegations against Terry when I visited his studio,' the 25-year-old Putin protester told BuzzFeed News (through a Russian translator) on Thursday.

'I didn't consult with anyone or do my research, we just went to a photo shoot on our own. Dumb.'

Aside from symbolic hair growth, the Grammy nominee has been focusing on her non-profit for LGBT homeless youth - Happy Hippie Foundation.

'I can't drive by in my f***ing Porsche and not f***ing do something,' Miley told Paper Magazine this month.

'I see it all day: people in their Bentleys and their Rolls and their Ubers, driving past these vets who have fought for our country, or these young women who have been raped.

'I was doing a show two nights ago, and I was wearing butterfly nipple pasties and butterfly wings. I'm standing there with my tit* out, dressed like a butterfly. How the f*** is that fair? How am I so lucky?'

The B****, I'm Madonna video vixen has been rumoured to have been romancing Victoria's Secret Angel Stella Maxwell for 'several months' now.

'I've had [lesbian relationships]. But people never really looked at it, and I never brought it into the spotlight,' said Cyrus, who identifies as 'gender-fluid.'

'I am literally open to every single thing that is consenting and doesn't involve an animal and everyone is of age. Everything that's legal, I'm down with. Yo, I'm down with any adult - anyone over the age of 18 who is down to love me.'
