15 female celebrities and influencers who proudly flaunt their armpit hair

Body hair is fully accepted on men. On their legs, chest, armpits, face, or what-have-you — it doesn't matter. Their hair is no big deal. Women, on the other hand, are expected to shave every last bit and keep up with it regularly, no stubble allowed.

Let's start with a few OG armpit trailblazers. First up: Sophia Loren.
