Following Miley’s mischievous topless Instagram post, we take a look at other saucy celebrity selfies

Earlier this week Miley Cyrus attracted attention again for more risqué behaviour. This time, she’s stripped down to nothing but her daisy dukes for a topless picture posted on Instgram in response to a social media hoax claiming she’d been found dead after an overdose. To celebrate Miley’s fearless comeback, we take a look at 7 other celebrities who aren’t afraid to strip off and show some skin on their Instagram pages – and in this hot weather, who can blame them?

1) Nicki Minaj

She’s pretty much the queen of raunchy Instagram selfies but this Halloween number is probably her most provocative post to date. The bondage babe is leaving very little to the imagination but with a body like that, who’s complaining? We also wonder how many fans contemplated going through her bins for that black tape…

2) Kim Kardashian 

This bootylicious picture came weeks after the birth of North West and she’s serving some major “MILF” vibes. It was the perfect way to show that despite being a yummy new mummy, she’s still got it and is still willing to flaunt it. There’s no doubt that baby-daddy Kanye approves.

3) Miley Cyrus 

We can’t stop getting flustered over Miley’s ever-increasing scantily clad offerings! There was THAT performance at the VMA’s, the controversial Wrecking Ball video and now a cheeky Instagram picture with her BANGERZ out! We salute you the girl for her bravery. Go Miley!

4) Rihanna 

She might have shut down her account, but the Barbadian singer stayed true to the name of her account “BadGirlRiRi” from start to finish. Posting pictures of marijuana, strippers and a multitude of saucy selfies, Rihanna clearly doesn’t care what you or anyone else thinks of her. Our favourite was this skirt/belt/piece of fabric/ (take your pick!) which she posted and then quickly deleted. All we can think of is that RiRi got a really nasty wedgie (eek!)

5) James Franco

You’ve probably all seen it or heard about it, but it’s too good not to include in this list. We present James Franco’s almost nude selfie in which he has his hands suggestively placed down his off-white underwear. When questioned in an interview about why he posted the picture, he said that it “gets a lot of attention”. So basically, James Franco’s best tip for gaining Instagram followers is to ALMOST reveal your junk! Lovely!

6) Lily Allen 

Not one to ever drop her “I don’t give a fuck” attitude (and why should she?), Lily Allen stays true to form in this pants-only post. The straight-talking singer knows how to have a good time: who doesn’t love dancing around and singing in nothing but your pants? Maybe she decided to take James Franco’s advice…

7) Azealia Banks 

Saving the breast till last, Azealia is all smiles in this fierce Instagram offering. Despite her record label woes and many public spats with her contemporaries, the “212” rapper shows she still has a playful side and isn’t afraid to bare all to the world (both in terms of her outspoken personality and her body…)
