Taraji P. Henson
Henson wasn’t afraid to bare it all to show her stance against fur.
03
D’Angelo
The soulful crooner had everyone begging for more when he released a sexy video for “How Does it Feel?” Had the camera panned down just a few more inches this video would have been X-rated. Just saying…
04
Erykah Badu
In 2010, Badu was fined for indecent exposure for filming her video for “Window Seat” in the nude. It was a small price to pay to get the whole world focused on the message she was trying to relay.
05
Ciara
The singer appeared nude, albeit with parts of her body strategically covered, on the cover of the October 2009 issue of VIBE magazine, and later insisted she wasn’t “really” naked. Girllllllll….

Waka Flocka Flame
This southern rapper stripped down for the PETA campaign and it shocked a lot of us. We aren’t quite sure if this was a good idea, either way it got our attention.
07
Amare Stoudemire
Women nationwide picked up the October 2010 issue of ESPN for the first time ever, just to study Stoudemire in the “Body Issue” going for a jump shot with no uniform and no boxers. Damn.

Chad Ochocinco
The Cincinnati Bengals player took it all off for PETA.

Garcielle Beauvais
Beauvais decided to get real “fancy” in August 2007 when she decided to grace the cover of Playboy in a transparent rainbow sheath — while five months pregnant!

Naomi Campbell
She’s a model, and for a model posing nude is often all in day’s work. What makes Naomi special? Her body is a work of art. So, her Playboy spread gets a pass.
11
Serena Williams
In 2007 Williams posed nude for Jane Magazine, and in 2009 Serena flexed naked for the cover of ESPN’s annual Body Issue. A beautiful spread for a beautiful woman.
12
Mariah Carey
Although Mariah Carey posed for Playboy, it was her 2007 Interview magazine cover, on which she wore nothing but a smile and a skimpy see-through lace piece of cloth, that caused a stir.

Terrell Owens
Built like a Greek god, NFL’er T.O. got naked and ripped for promo shots of the first season of his reality show, “The T.O Show,” in 2009.
14
Janet Jackson
In 2004, Janet may not have bared it all, but exposing that one nipple during Super Bowl XXXVIII made for one of the most memorable halftimes in football history.

Stacey Dash
Stacey Dash wasn’t always as conservative as she is today. She once appeared in nude spread in a 2006 issue of Playboy magazine (and looked just as great as she does today).
