2022 has been a year where everything seems big, the stakes seem huge, the kind of year where it’s gonna take more than just a decent nude scene to crack Mr. Skin’s Top Ten Nude Scenes of 2022! This marks the 24th time that Mr. Skin has selected the best of the breast in celebrity nudity and it’s stacked with some heavy hitters… and heavy with some stacked ones as well! When the actress everyone’s talking about in the show everyone’s talking about, aka Sydney Sweeney in Euphoria, lands in the tenth position, you know it was a year of close calls. There’s no run-off voting necessary because these eleven actresses more than deserve their spot on the list, from former child stars making their nude debuts like Brittany Snow and Maia Mitchell, to a 21st century Skin Hall of Famer playing another Skin Hall of Famer who defined the 20th century, this is a top ten for the record books! Pencils down… then zippers down, your work has just begun! Like the cream of the crop, these scenes rise to the top of Mr. Skin’s Top Ten Nude Scenes of 2022!
After a stunning nude debut in the first season of this HBO teens gone wild series, Sydney Sweeney was back at it in the show’s second season! As the official episode summary for season two, episode two puts it, Sydney Sweeney’s Cassie “falls into a pattern,” and what better way to demonstrate that than a skinsational montage with plenty of shots of Sydney’s legendary breasts, but also an overhead look at her amazing ass as she is nude on a bear skin rug. We’re holding out hope to see Sydney’s down under in season three!
25 years after her career started as a pre-teen in the mid-90s, Brittany Snow finally made her nude debut in the acclaimed horror flick X. Brittany and her co-stars—including rapper Kid Cudi—take over a Texas Chainsaw Massacre type farm to shoot a porno in this horror flick that kicked off a trilogy this past spring. 22 minutes in, Brittany makes her nude debut, getting screwed by Kid Cudi and showing off her talents as an old pro in the low budget porn industry of the late 70s. There’s nothing better than a Brittany Snow job!
One of the most buzzed about shows of the last few years, The White Lotus went bigger and better in its second season, especially when it comes to nudity! Arguably the breakout star of season two, Simona Tabasco’s high priced escort Lucia cemented her place in Skin history when she opened the fifth episode with a topless sex scene! Much like the spicy sauce with which she shares a surname, Ms. Tabasco is guaranteed to bring some heat into your life!
On the Starz series P-Valley, set at a strip club in the Mississippi Delta, Brandee plays Mercedes, the reigning queen of the strippers, while second season newcomer Shamika Cotton’s Farrah seeks to please the queen. She also has some back-stabbing tactics right out of the Showgirls/All About Eve playbook, with Shamika playing Eve to Brandee’s Margo Channing, but in season two, episode four, it’s all about the lesbian loving!
Stars at Noon, the latest film from French director Claire Denis and based on the novel of the same name set forty years ago, has been updated to the early days of the COVID pandemic. Margaret Qualley plays an American journalist stranded in Nicaragua, spending a solid eight minutes of screen time nude spread out over eight scenes. In her sixth nude role and second appearance on our yearly Top 10, Margaret is cementing her status as a Qualley skin candidate!
Skin fans have wanted to see Anya Taylor-Joy nude since her breakout role in the horror flick The Witch in 2016, where she used a body double for that film’s climactic nude scene. She reunited with that film’s director, Robert Eggers, for this year’s The Northman, delivering a knockout nude debut for the record books, baring her beautiful butt while bathing alongside the film’s titular star Alexander Skarsgård! In a film that got coy with its male nudity, we’re glad Anya Taylor brought some female nudity Joy to the world!
Pitched as an erotic neo-noir in the Basic Instinct mold, though not quite as skin-filled as that one, No Way Out stars Maia Mitchell as a model and wannabe actress named Tessa, who hooks up with a local photographer for a torrid and ultimately violent love affair. The former star of such Disney hits as the Teen Beach Movies and the basic cable favorites The Fosters and Good Trouble, Maia makes our favorite celeb nude debut of the year here!
The niece of Eight is Enough and Spaceballs star Dick Van Patten, Grace Van Patten is a legacy actress carving out a skin legacy of her own! With four nude scenes in the first season of the Hulu hit Tell Me Lies, the final one proved the charm with Grace dropping her towel in front of on-screen and real life love interest Jackson White, who proceeds to go down on her! We cannot tell a lie, Grace has got a great body!
Rocketed to stardom with her role as Alice Cullen in the Twilight films beginning 14 years ago, Ashley has remained a skin favorite for a decade and a half! In The Immaculate Room, Emile Hirsch and Kate Bosworth are a couple competing in a reality show type competition for a five million dollar prize, having to stay in one room for 50 days. Ashley shows up totally nude several weeks in as part of a mind game by the producers, claiming that she and Hirsch had sex, and giving Ashley’s most immaculately lit nude scene ever!
When one Mr. Skin Hall of Famer plays another in a film, it’s going to be worth paying attention to, especially when the celebs involved in that equation are Ana de Armas and Marilyn Monroe. The film was overloaded with controversies from its NC-17 rating—the first for a mainstream film since 2013—to its often violent and brutal content, but Mr. Skin fast forwards to the good parts and this stylized threesome 39 minutes in represents some of the film’s best nudity from Ana, paying tribute to one of the greats! Blondes really do have more fun!
Due to some strange circumstances, Kelly Reilly's topless scene shot for Season 4, Episode 8 of Yellowstone was cut from the original American broadcast in late December, 2021. However, in early January, the scene appeared in the episode when it began streaming on Peacock! So it wouldn't be right to leave her out entirely, so we would like to (fully) extend an honorable mention in Kelly's direction! This Yellowstone hottie will have you going off like Old Faithful!
