Rachel McAdams celebrates her body in a raw, minimally edited photoshoot that shows off her natural beauty, armpit hair and all.
The Mean Girls actress, 44, showed off her armpit hair as she lounged on a plush couch in a shoot for Rush. At Rachel’s request, the photos have been minimally edited.
The hair was also visible in another shot of Rachel posing in a sleeveless white dress that hugged her physique.
Rachel, who shares a son and daughter with her partner Jamie Linden, told Bustle, “I’m wearing latex underwear on this shoot. But I have had two children. This is my body, and I think that’s so important to reflect back to the world.”
“It’s fine to look your best and work for it and be healthy, but that’s different for everyone,” she added.

Rachel is currently promoting her upcoming movie Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret, a movie adaptation of the wildly popular book by Judy Blume.
In her lengthy interview with Bustle, Rachel admitted that she still felt “guilty” about taking a two-year break from Hollywood, at the height of her career in the mid-2010s, to “stay sane.”
While reflecting on her shocking decision to turn down starring roles in The Devil Wears Prada, Casino Royale, Mission: Impossible III, Iron Man, and Get Smart, the actress revealed that her hiatus left her wondering if she was “throwing it all.”
“I felt guilty for not taking the opportunity I was given because I knew I was in such a lucky place,” she confessed. “But I also knew it didn’t quite match my personality and what I needed to stay healthy.”
Despite occasionally regretting not taking on a role, the Academy Award nominee said she always took a step back and thought, “That was the right person for it.”
During her brief hiatus from acting, the mother-of-two said she initially didn’t know “why” she was taking time off.
“It took me years to understand what I was doing intuitively,” Rachel explained to Bustle, nodding to prioritize her mental health as she struggled to navigate fame at a young age.
She continued: I think I always felt like I was going to be okay; it will be fine or not.’

In the end, she credits her acting breaks over the years for “really” helping her “feel stronger.”
“It made me feel like I was taking back some control. And I think that allowed me to get in through another door,” she added.
Later, the artist stated that she felt like an “overnight” sensation by becoming a household name after her roles in Mean Girls, The Notebook, and Wedding Crashers.
The transition from a recent York University graduate, who worked at a McDonald’s for three years, to an A-lister was shocking.
‘You don’t go to theater school to learn how to deal with that. There’s no book on how to deal with that,” she said, referring to public acknowledgment and having fans ask for selfies.
