The Sun created a new type of voluptuous celebrity, but England’s paper-of-not-record is moving on.

On November 17, 1970 – as the Soviets landed an unmanned aircraft on the Moon and Douglas Engelbart got his patent for a computer mouse – The Sun , the newest addition to Rupert Murdoch’s expanding publishing empire, put a nude photo of German model Stephanie Rahn on page three under a headline no one read. This struck roughly half of The Sun ’s readership as a really good idea and the “Page 3 Girl” became an every-day feature of the England’s upstart tabloid. The women who graced the spread, an endless roster of heavily petaled roses, became their own category of homegrown celebrity as the paper became the highest circulation publication in the Isles. Some of the models, notably Samantha Fox and Katie “Jordan” Price , became objects of almost fetishistic national interest while others found themselves on the unused arms of Premier Leaguers. By standing next to the news, each embodied The Sun ’s prurient but conservative world view. Page 3 was supposed to titillate, but it never changed.
What Page 3 certainly did was piss off a lot of women – Times of London readers mostly. Marching under a “Boobs Aren’t News” banner, the anti-Page 3 crusaders spent the last decade or so organizing themselves into a sort of anti- Femen . Their voices were drowned out over the last several years thanks to public paroxysms over The Sun ’s least savory practice, wiretapping celebrities and dead soldiers’ families, but they remained on message. And they seem to have won. There have been no Page 3 Girls this week, only pictures of bikinied beauties bounding about on beaches. The tradition has ended a decade after The Sun ceded ground by baring enhanced bosoms from its pages. As America seeks to free the nipple , the ever-contrarian Murdoch is doing the opposite.
The development may come as a blow to several 50-year-old men from Shropshire, but The Sun appears to continuing the tradition online. Today’s girl is Lucy. She has red hair, curves, and lovely smile. She looks like the best thing about a dank corner of jolly old England. She looks happy to be there, happy to follow in the heelsteps of the women (and girls, if we’re to be honest) who spent the last four decades flirting from behind the fold.
Here are the most memorable members of the sorority Lucy just joined.

In a masterful display of media trolling, the popular British tabloid The Sun managed to convince everyone on Tuesday that it would no longer be publishing photos of topless models, a controversial practice it’s steadfastly defended for 45 years. Though “Page 3” will still feature scantily clad women, reports said, they’ll get to wear bras and underwear instead of going nude, much to the chagrin of pervy old dudes on the tube.
Many British officials and citizens voiced their support for the seemingly sudden decision, while some former “Page 3” models blamed the new ban on censorship-loving feminazis. On Wednesday, The Sun revealed the whole thing to be a hoax with a single tweet .
But how did we go from running topless photos of 16-year-old girls in a widely read newspaper to far-flung disapproval of a feature many deemed sexist and demeaning? Here’s a brief history of Britain’s most notorious newspaper feature.
November 1970: The Sun relaunched in November 1969 under new ownership. Helmed by Australian media magnate Rupert Murdoch and editor Larry Lamb, the tabloid launched its first nude “Page 3” spread on November 17, 1970. It was one of the first times nude photos of women had appeared in a newspaper as pure entertainment. The move immediately sparked controversy and anti-pornography protests — some local libraries even refused to carry it — but Lamb used this outrage to stoke discussion of The Sun’s redesign and raise its profile.
1971: Within a year of publishing the topless photos, The Sun ’s circulation almost doubled to 2.5 million.
The ‘70s and early ‘80s : The Sun continued to publish photos of nude and near-nude women on “Page 3,” but tried to find a healthy balance between catering to its sex-obsessed audience and not offending women. According to the BBC :
The pictures were generally shown to women reporters on the paper to make sure that female readers wouldn’t regard them as horrible or “dirty”. And it was always said that the model’s smile was more important than anything else.
Mid ‘80s: The Sun started to show more skin, and its first (and pretty much only) star was born. Samantha Fox began posing for “Page 3” in 1983 at the age of 16 when she signed a four-year contract with the paper. Through her modeling and other side projects, Fox became one of “ the most photographed British women of the 1980s ,” and is by far the most well-known “Page 3” girl. Fox’s success contributed to the narrative that “Page 3” provided a popular platform for young women to break into the modeling world. As the BBC wrote in 2000, Fox represented “a new type of Page Three girl who instead of being merely pneumatic had a personality of sorts: brash, tarty, clothes-and-money-mad and the ultimate fantasy girlfriend for ‘80s Essex Man.”
1986: The more popular “Page 3” became, the more scrutiny it began to court. In 1986, Clare Short, a member of Parliament, proposed a bill that would ban newspapers in the U.K. from publishing pornographic images. The bill was slow to gain support and died on the floor. Short quickly became a favorite target of “Page 3.”
1999 : Perhaps foreseeing a world inundated by internet porn, The Sun launched Page3.com, its new online portal for photos of “Page 3” models, after pushing a number of print redesigns in the ’90s.
2003: In January 2003, Rebekah Brooks — then known as Rebekah Wade — became the first female editor of The Sun . Many expected her to scrap “Page 3,” but she came to staunchly defend it.
2004: The Sun published a picture of Clare Short’s face Photoshopped onto the topless body of a “Page 3” girl and called her “fat” and “jealous.”
2011: At a conference of Liberal Democrats in Birmingham, many voiced their desire to ban “Page 3” and other features like it. “Tabloid newspapers in particular, which call themselves family newspapers, should not be able to portray women in a sexualised way, in a way that the broadcast media would not be able to do in soap operas and children’s television programmes before the watershed,” one member of Parliament said.
2012: An activist named Lucy-Anne Holmes launched the “ No More Page 3 ” campaign, sending letters and petitions to British officials asking them to ban “Page 3.”
March 2013: A Twitter campaign organized by “No More Page 3” and directed at Rupert Murdoch finally got the aging media mogul to comment on a potential new direction for “Page 3”: “you may be right, don’t know but considering,” he wrote. “Perhaps halfway house with glamorous fashionistas.”
June 2013: Green member of Parliament Caroline Lucas ignored Westminster’s dress code, showing up to a governmental debate on media sexism in a “No More Page 3” T-shirt.
August 2013: The Irish version of The Sun stopped running topless women on “Page 3.”
September 2014: Another crack in the Murdoch facade appeared when he called the “Page 3” institution “old-fashioned.”
January 20, 2015: The Sun quietly published what many believed to be its last nude model on Friday, January 16. On Tuesday, The Times , another Murdoch-owned publication, said that “Page 3” would no longer include nude models, instead featuring those wearing underwear or bathing suits.
January 21, 2015: The Sun admits it was all a troll, tweeting a picture of Thursday’s “Page 3” displaying a topless woman winking knowingly and the following text:
Further to recent reports in all media outlets, we would like to clarify that this is Page 3 and this is a picture of Nicole, 22, from Bournemouth. We would like to apologise on behalf of the print and broadcast journalists who have spent the last two days talking and writing about us.

Mikhail S. Gorbachev, whose rise to power in the Soviet Union set in motion a series of revolutionary changes that transformed the map of Europe and ended the Cold War that had threatened the world with nuclear annihilation, has died in Moscow. He was 91. His death was announced on Tuesday by Russia’s state news agencies, citing the city’s central clinical hospital. The reports said he had died after an unspecified “long and grave illness.”
President Joe Biden plans to deliver a prime-time speech this week about how America’s “rights and freedoms are still under attack,” returning to the core message of his 2020 campaign as Americans are getting ready to vote in the November midterm elections . A White House official said Thursday’s address at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia would focus on “the continued battle for the soul of the nation” and show how the president sees the central argument of his 2020 candidacy remains as salient as ever with the midterm elections coming into clearer focus.
On Thursday night, he used newly ramped-up rhetoric in ways that the White House and Biden’s political advisers are signaling will be part of a no-holds-barred strategy for the midterms. The president accused the GOP of “semi-fascism” and said he doesn’t respect, and can’t work with, “MAGA Republicans” who he said “embrace political violence.” He hardened his assertion that democracy is under threat, and said the country could be facing the sort of test that comes every few generations, “one of the moments that changes everything.”
From a high school auditorium in Rockville, Md., Biden also mocked Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) for touting a local project he had voted against. White House aides spent the late afternoon using the official Twitter account — normally reserved for policy charts, press releases and fact sheets — to go on the attack. They went viral by naming Republicans, like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz , who had criticized student loan forgiveness while benefiting from their own business loan forgiveness. The tweets had more engagements and retweets than almost any other from Biden’s White House, or previous ones.
