From Rochelle Humes to Gemma Atkinson
There is no doubt that a ' healthy body' looks and feels very different on each and every one of us.
Sadly though, research conducted by Women's Health as part of our campaign, Project Body Love , found that three-quarters of British women don't feel confident in their own skin. The reality is, for most women, being naked is not a feel-good place to be.
It's wanting to embrace the female form in all of its diverse glory that inspired Women's Health's very first Naked Issue back in 2014, for which actress Zoe Saldana fronted the magazine's cover in the nude, with trainer Tracey Anderson and former reality star Millie Mackintosh going buff within the pages.
Then, 2016 saw Lea Michele, Iskra Lawrence and Madeleine Shaw respond to our naked women call out. Come 2017, Jenna Tatum was gracing the cover, with the likes of Alexandra Burke and Melanie Sykes inside the issue.
September 2019 saw presenter and singer Rochelle Humes taking the cover, with professional climbers and football and rugby players also appearing in the magazine.
'Our research found British women are overwhelmingly negative about their bodies,' Claire Sanderson, WH Editor-in-chief, said of the decision. 'These women 'may look "perfect" to many, but every woman has the right to their own emotions, from insecurity to supreme confidence.'
To celebrate the stars of the Naked Issue, past and present, WH has collected a series of the images of the women who have bared all in the name of body confidence and female empowerment.
Straight up: Healthy is not a body shape, it's a lifestyle – as the 40 different shapes, sizes, mindsets and mentalities of the women below prove.
She says: ‘I’m a mother of two little girls now, I’m 30 years old and it finally happened: I accepted myself, my body, my hair, my scars and my bumps and my bits on one side that doesn’t look the same as the other, and I bit the bullet.’
She says: 'My body looks the way it does through effort and hard work.'
She says: 'I'm not perfect. I'm not trying to represent myself as being some perfect girl, but I love myself, flaws and all.'
She says: 'I used to take pride in the fact I didn't have to work out — then I hit that age where I have too. I want to drink champagne and have hearty dinners, so I would rather work out for an hour and be able to do what I want.'
She says: 'There are certain days or weeks where I’m so busy with work it will be harder to get in a workout and other times I’d just prefer to be with my family. I have to make sure it’s something I want to do or I will make every excuse not to work out.’
Yoga instructor and founder of Strala yoga
She says: 'As long as I feel good and I'm healthy, the dimensions of my body don't matter.'
She says: 'For me, it's not about having muscles or cut abs – I don’t have abs. I don’t think, “I need to be like a fit model with a perfect body,” because, you know, I’m 45. That would take too much effort. But I have accepted it, because it’s now part of my life. I know that, for my health, it has to be.’
Singer and former The X Factor winner
She says: 'Healthy eating encouraged me to kick-start my gym routine, too. I work out five or six times a week. It’s been a slow fitness process but the rewards are for the long term. Now, my training schedule never changes – not even when I’m on holiday.
'I begin with a 10-minute run to warm up, then an hour of circuit training. My fitness goal is to run the New York marathon before I reach 30 and kids factor into the equation.'
She says: 'I see exercise as an investment. I’m in my forties and my body has more definition now than it did in my twenties. It also gives me more energy, which is important when you have an active, growing family.'
She says: 'Through seeing what my body is capable of, I’ve been able to beat my body demons. I respect it now and don’t compare myself to the small, thin girl I once dreamed of being. I train three to five days a week, alternating body weight and weighted circuit workouts; rarely cardio unless I go for a run with my dog. I’m a size eight and I weigh just under 11st – it’s the heaviest I’ve ever been but I’m two sizes smaller than when I was 18.'
TOWIE star and founder of Results with Lucy
She says: 'A few years ago, I started working with a PT, Cecilia Harris. I’d wake up happier, more motivated– I wanted to get to the gym and push my body.'
Celebrity trainer, fitness pioneer and author
She says: 'I don’t train every day to look hot for some dude or to look great on the beach. I train because it makes me healthy, in control and comfortable in my body – like I’m home.'
She says: 'I have curves and my work and social life sometimes get in the way of exercise. But I don't beat myself up about it. Eating all the kale in the world isn't going to make you happy.'
She says: 'Eating well and getting fit is about feeling amazing. Looking good in a bikini is just a by-product.'
She says: 'I simply want to be the best, healthy, toned, happy version of myself.'
She says: 'I'm turning 40 soon, but age means nothing if you don't look after yourself. I enjoy my body more when I keep it fit and healthy — it's important to be in touch with your body and I love the fact that I am.'
She says: 'These days, I don’t really care about how much I weigh, even though it’s a couple of stones more than a few years ago when I was a size eight and weighed 8st. Now I’m all about personal challenges. I train three to four mornings a week, with a mixture of running, HIIT workouts, Barry’s Bootcamp and BodyPump, and I ran the London Marathon earlier this year, finishing in four and a half hours. My next fitness goal is learning to swim.'
She says: 'I'm finally content with who I am inside and out. I love working out, and have built muscle in my bum with weighted squats and lunges and I’ve slimmed down my waist with cardio and side planks.I exercise every day; either cardio at the gym or, if I’m short on time, a quick abs workout or HIIT session at home.'
She says: 'My attitude to exercise has changed over the years: in my early twenties I worked out all the time in the gym, desperate to be thinner and smaller than my 5ft10in frame so I could look more like other girls. But after studying for a master’s in child psychology,I learned that accepting who you are is at the root of self-esteem. Now, I’ve come to love my curvy body – especially my hips.'
TV presenter and former Miss Universe
She says: 'As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become kinder to myself. I don’t hit the gym to get a body like Kim Kardashian’s, I go to make my body look the best it can. I lift weights once or twice a week and can squat 10 to 15 reps of my body weight, about 60kg. I love and respect the legs I once hated because they’ve helped me achieve so much.’
She says: 'I’m a size eight and 9st 13lb, which is mostly muscle – I have strong abs and defined shoulders. When I was a young teenager, my body was different from those of other girls my age, which made me feel self-conscious. But now I see the beauty in my strength.'
Former reality star, fashion designer, influencer
She says: 'People ask, 'How do you deal with the fact that people think you’re too thin?' I know I’m not too thin – I’m slim. I go to the gym to feel toned and to build muscle.'
Former Made in Chelsea star, founder of The Mummy Tribe
She says: 'Exercise is essential for my mind. I suffer from anxiety, but a gym session chills me out and makes me happier.'
She says: 'Body image is far more wholesome and health-focused than it was in the Nineties. I'll always be lanky, but having a health goal to aim for has really tightened and toned the muscles I have.'
She says: 'It breaks my heart to read my teenage diary now and see how much I used to hate myself. I have a healthier relationship with food now and don't beat myself up so much.'
European Champion swimmer, Commonwealth Gold Medallist and World Silver Medallist
She says: 'Yes, my body is the tool of my trade – but I love looking good in my swimsuit, too!'
She says: 'I feel I’m exactly where I want to be. I feel beautiful in a way that even when I was working out a whole lot, I didn’t. Just be happy, regardless.'
Olympic hammer thrower and current British record holder
She says: 'I love my big thighs. I wouldn't be able to pick up a hammer without them. I put blood, sweat and tears into building them up. When I was younger, I always wished I was more petite or willowy; now they're a symbol of my success as an athlete.'
Footballer for England women, team GB and Arsenal ladies
She says: 'I'm so proud of my body and what it's let me achieve.'
She says: 'I'm not saying I'm the ideal. I'm not saying only muscly bodies are beautiful — this is just what I do. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm human and allow myself a few days to lie on the couch and eat burgers. I'm still learning my limits.'
800M and 400M runner, former Great Britain athlete, world and European champion
She says: 'I'm so proud of my body. It's been so good to me.'
Olympic Pentathlete and current world champion
She says: 'It would be an insult to my body to say there are parts I’m not keen on – it’s served me so well and I couldn’t have won an Olympic medal without it.'
Left to right: Heather Fisher, Amy Wilson-Hardy, Danielle Waterman, Claire Allan, Michaela Staniford
She says: 'I don't train to look good; simply to be effective. I've grown to love my bigger legs and bum - they're vital for bursts of speed.'
Manchester City and England Women's football team goalkeeper
She says: 'I used to want to do too much and I went hard on HIIT circuits, but when I joined Manchester City in 2013, I reframed my attitude to fitness. Now, instead of doing as much as my body will allow, I ask myself, ‘Will this help me on the pitch?’ If the answer is 'no,' I rest instead.'
She says: 'Posing naked for a national magazine is a real breakthrough for me;I’m doing this for myself to boost my confidence.'
She says: 'At 5ft 4in, I’m petite but powerful. I’d clone my legs if I could. Their strength has carried me through a 10-year100m and 200m sprinting career and into bobsleigh.'
She says: 'Looking strong is the biggest compliment of all. People tell me I don’t look like a weightlifter because they’re expecting to see someone with huge muscles, but that isn’t what weightlifting is about. Looking and feeling strong can embody so many things– physically, it means you’re in good shape and can handle yourself.'
British weightlifter and Crossfit athlete
She says:'My body is my armour. I train to feel powerful, purposeful and confident enough to withstand anything. My dad passed away when I was three and my brother is away in the army, so I’m the one building my mum a shed or changing her car tyre. I can carry a week’s worth of shopping from the car to my house and when I wrote off my car on black ice, I kicked out the passenger door and escaped unscathed. I’m a strong, independent woman in every sense.'
She says: 'No one should be ashamed of their body shape. Embrace what you have. Some people struggle with their size, but I’m proof that you can be slim and strong.'
She says: 'My exercise motto is, ‘Enjoy it or you might as well go home.’ You need that passion, that drive. After the last Olympic Games, when my coach Andy Banks announced he was moving to Australia, I decided to call it a day– I wasn’t feeling the same drive to push myself in training. It was a very emotional decision to make.'

Some clichés about the cycle of life are true. When you are raising young children, the days are long and the years are short. And when you’re a woman, you will, at about age fifty, become invisible. All our lives, as girls and younger women, we prepare ourselves to be looked at. We grow accustomed to registering —to attracting, evading, or denouncing the male gaze. In “ Mrs. Dalloway ,” Clarissa, newly aware of herself as a woman of a certain age, walks down the street thinking, “This body, with all its capacities, seemed nothing—nothing at all.” The cultural critic Akiko Busch, quoting that line from “Mrs. Dalloway,” notes that “a reduced sense of visibility does not necessarily constrain experience.” True, but it takes some getting used to, and when it’s punctuated, as it often is, by condescension—when strangers are suddenly addressing you not even as “Ma’am” but, with a verbal wink, as “young lady”—you may not want to get used to it.
Is nakedness invisibility’s opposite? Maybe not, but, if it’s voluntarily, unapologetically displayed, it can be a kind of antidote to diminishment and erasure. A nude portrait of a woman older than, say, sixty is an unusual image—even a taboo one. To make such photographs, and, even more so, to pose for them, is an act of defiance. In the course of her career, the photographer Jocelyn Lee has been drawn to nude bodies of all shapes and ages. Her latest book, “Sovereign” (Minor Matters Books), features a selection of her photographs of women who range in age from their mid-fifties to their early nineties, posing naked, frequently outdoors and in natural settings.
Lee’s color images of older women are painterly, classical, but also frank. Skin puckers, crinkles, and sags. Bellies poof and pleat. A silver-haired woman stands knee-deep in a pond strewn with autumn leaves, looking directly at the camera, her elbows angled back like wings to reveal one intact breast and one mastectomy scar. A naked woman sits on a blanket of moss in the woods, her breasts and belly soft, so at ease she might be napping. In “Nancy at 78, Maine at 18,” a woman and her grandniece stand nude on a beach. Side by side, their long-legged, curly-headed bodies rhyme, but also remind us of the ways time will remake our familiar, corporeal selves. The image is not some grim memento mori, though. The women lean comfortably toward each other, touching shoulders; the younger woman’s arm loops through the elder woman’s. Behind them, the sea and sky are a light-suffused blue.
Lee, who is fifty-nine, lives part of the year on a lush, wooded property outside of Portland, Maine. She’s taken some of the portraits of older women at a pond near her house, and others on beaches at Martha’s Vineyard and elsewhere. The natural settings, devoid of sociological detail and inherently beautiful, tend to banish ironic readings and extend a certain benevolence to the naked subjects. We aren’t in paradise here—nobody in these photos looks that naïve—but we are not in any sort of judgment-laden social space, either. Lee told me that she hoped the locations implied the warmth of sun on the body—“that kind of comfort and love”—and communicated the idea that we are “all essentially sensual creatures.”
“The camera can be very cruel depending on how you use it,” she said. “There’s a whole tradition of photography that’s based on criticality and cruelty. Diane Arbus —whom I love, by the way—looked for unflattering moments to create a sense of drama. Sometimes that can be done with the juxtaposition of elements in a space, the exaggeration of the appearance of wealth or poverty, harsh lighting.”
Lee said that, by contrast, her work had sometimes been criticized for being “too earnest or romantic.” But she made her peace with that a long time ago. Through her photography, Lee has always tried to understand “what lay ahead.” When she was still in college, long before she had children herself, she photographed a pregnant friend in the nude as part of her thesis project. “This was before the Demi Moore Vanity Fair cover; people didn’t really know what a pregnant woman looked like,” she said. Through the years, she took many nude photographs of her mother, who, she says, had a remarkable ease in her own skin. Lee continued taking pictures of her as she was dying of cancer.
I’m about six months older than Lee, and, all in all, I consider aging to be far better than the alternative, as my own mother, who died at sixty, the age I am now, used to say. Still, I prefer the cloudy mirror in my bathroom to any in which I can see myself clearly. The older women who
