Phoebe Bridgers embraced her natural beauty while stepping out at the Venice Film Festival with unshaven legs.
In pictures published in an article by Vogue, the singer, 32, confidently showed off her natural body hair while posing in a Gucci skirt at a press event for her new film, Primetime, on Saturday, September 5.
Bridgers appeared alongside costars Robert Pattinson and Bokeem Woodbine, but her decision to ditch the razor attracted plenty of attention of its own, with social media users praising the musician for confidently displaying something completely natural.
“Rather than undermining the femininity of the look, unapologetic hair sharpened it,” the outlet wrote in their article which was published Sunday, September 6, while one X user noted, “this is literally so rare for public figures omg…. queen.”
Added another, “The people yearn for the normalisation of body hair on women!!”
Bridgers is far from the first woman to challenge conventional beauty standards on a major red carpet.

Julia Roberts famously made headlines in April 1999 when she revealed unshaven armpits while waving to fans at the London premiere of Notting Hill.
The actress later reflected on the enormous reaction the moment received, telling Vogue years later in January 2014, “I waved, and people saw I had armpit hair. It was a scandal.”

More than 25 years later, Bridgers’ appearance didn’t provoke the same controversy — and instead offered another reminder of how attitudes toward women’s body hair have evolved.
The Grammy winner was in Venice promoting Primetime, which marks her feature acting debut.
Pattinson stars as To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen in the film, while Bridgers plays Del Harvey, a young decoy involved in the show’s undercover operations.
The role marks new territory for Bridgers, who is best known for her acclaimed music career as both a solo artist and a member of boygenius.
