JanuHairy: When Julia Roberts, Adele & other Hollywood divas flaunted body hair as a statement | Explained

Remember the ‘No Shave November’ trend that took over social media? We now have something called JanuHairy, a social campaign where women flaunt their body hair and make no bones about it. It was in 2018 when a University student called Laura came up with the idea. She did grow her body hair for a stage performance but the reactions suggested it was still a taboo for women to grow them. However, there are many Hollywood women that have flaunted them with all abandon. Let’s talk about the legendary Julia Roberts , who did so all the way back in 1999 at the Cannes premiere of Notting Hill. “When I was a younger woman, I thought it was a statement,” said the actress on the red carpet of the festival. She was clicked waving to the media and what could be seen were her armpit hair, but the actress was totally cool about the reveal and the capture. Then there’s another legend called Adele . She too once posed on the red carpet of an event flaunting her hairy legs and being unapologetic about it. ““He has no choice,” she quipped when asked about the reaction of her partner. We also have Paris Jackson, who too followed the trend in 2017 of flaunting body hair. The other names in the list are Lola Kirke, Jemima Kirke, Bella Thorne, Amandla Stenberg, and Mo’Nique.
