As sure as the leaves will fall and the winter winds will soon be whipping, so too does Mr. Skin come around once a year to deliver his Top Ten Celebrity Nude Scenes of the year, and 2023 is no exception! An interesting thing to note about this year’s list is that with the exception of Jenna Ortega’s nip slip, there are no celebrities making their nude debut on this year’s list! For some like Saoirse Ronan, it’s only her second nude scene, while Desperate Housewives’ Brenda Strong did her first nude scene in 24 years! From box office blockbusters to the most buzzed about shows of 2023, this list has some of the biggest celebs doing the best nudity of their career, especially our number one, who shocked us all so much this past summer, she couldn’t be denied come the end of the year! As we put this year into the record books, let’s take one last look at the Top Ten Celebrity Nude Scenes of 2023!
*Editor's note: While we had hoped to include Emma Stone’s nude scenes from Poor Things and Sydney Sweeney’s nude scenes from Anyone But You, unfortunately neither film will be released until late December 2023.
Jenna Ortega was all the talk of early 2023 as folks caught up with the November 2022 Netflix release of Wednesday, where Ortega plays the titular youngest female member of the Addams Family. While promoting her appearance in Scream VI this past March, Jenna dropped by the hot wings-themed interview series Hot Ones to drop the nip slip heard ‘round the world on us! In one of the most talked about viral moments of 2023, Jenna really spiced up the hottest show on the web!
The last thing anyone this past October expected to happen on Apple TV+‘s acclaimed The Morning Show was for leading lady Jennifer Aniston to go nude for a sex scene with Jon Hamm! Not only can you spot Jennifer’s CANiston while laying on top of Hamm in the post-coital glow, our content experts brightened the prior moments enough to reveal that Jen was indeed topless during the scene! The Morning Show will dole out some morning wood!
The biggest movie of 2023 that didn’t star Barbie or Super Mario, also featured a quartet of nude scenes from the always game and utterly amazing Florence Pugh! Christopher Nolan’s not a director known for including a lot of nude scenes in his movies, but the grittier R-rating for Oppenheimer allowed him to include some pretty twisted psycho-sexual drama, such as this scene where a sweaty Pugh shows her perfect pair while riding Cillian Murphy. As a bonus, she even has Oppenheimer read from the Bhagavad Gita, the tome from which he got his famed “I am become death” quote. Florence, however, has become breasts, savior of worlds!
As one of the premiere scream queens of the 2020s, Mia Goth followed up her one-two 2022 punch of X and Pearl with perhaps her strangest film to date, Brandon Cronenberg’s Infinity Pool. An hour and twelve minutes in, Mia kicks off a psychedelic orgy by riding Alexander Skarsgard, before meshing with a number of other nude actors and actresses, culminating in Mia sporting absolutely nothing else except mask with a blank expression that recalls the classic horror film Eyes Without a Face. Or maybe we’re overthinking things and should just enjoy the nudity!
If a show is only going to have one nude scene in the entire season, they’ve got to make it a memorable one. That’s exactly what the creators of Hulu’s Unprisoned did this past March, delivering Brenda Strong’s fantastic full frontal debut in the very first episode! With her first nude scene in 24 years, Brenda came on Strong as the former Desperate Housewives star looked absolutely skinsational at 62! Seinfeld fans who remember her as Sue Ellen Mischke, “the bra-less wonder” will flip for this nude reveal!
With her second nude scene of this decade, 53 year old Heather Graham continues to prove that age is nothing but a number! Suitable Flesh is a Lovecraft short story adaptation produced by and co-starring 80s scream queen Barbara Crampton, who shares a sapphic smooch with Graham! That one’s non-nude, however, so we’re going with our favorite Heather Graham topless scene in some time as she rides on-screen husband Johnathon Schaech on the couch and absolutely goes for broke! Suitable Flesh indeed!
After making a splash with her skincredible nude debut alongside Kate Winslet in 2020’s Ammonite, Saoirse Ronan chose the sci-fi flick Foe for her nudity encore. Stripping down alongside fellow Irish actor Paul Mescal, Saoirse has two topless scenes in the film, but the second one is slightly sweeter. Accompanied by some Saoirse voiceover narration about endings and beginnings, the scene is really complimented by the soft lighting and the sight of Saoirse’s perfect pair! Foe sho!
It takes a lot for any actor to go completely nude on screen, especially an established actress like Alison Brie, who dared to bare all in the Amazon Prime Original rom-com Somebody I Used to Know, directed by her real-life husband Dave Franco. As a stuffy TV producer getting back in touch with her wild child past, Brie ditches her clothes entirely, going au naturel for an interview with Jeanine Jackson at a nudist colony! We’ll never turn down a serving of Brie!
As the daughter of boundary-pushing parents, it was almost guaranteed that Lily-Rose Depp would make some strange choices in her career. HBO’s The Idol was the talk of the summer, and at the center of all that talk was Lily-Rose’s performance as a pop superstar and her dangerous relationship with a self-help guru and cult leader. With 12 nude scenes, Lily-Rose outdid mom Vanessa Paradis and her nine total career nude scenes in a single season of television! The Idol may be no more, but the bloom will never come off Lily-Rose!
This past summer, Jennifer Lawrence seemed to single-handedly resurrect the mid-budget studio heartwarming sex comedy with her surprise hit No Hard Feelings. J-Law gave us plenty of hard feelings, however, with a nude beach fight scene for the ages! While trying to help a shy teen break out of his shell by skinny dipping, Jennifer proceeds to run naked onto the beach to beat up the pranksters trying to steal her clothes, throwing caution to the wind as she throws haymakers in the buff! It’s a scene like no other from an established A-lister—except maybe Viggo Mortensen in Eastern Promises—while also delivering those promised titular hard feelings!
