Erika Christensen Shows Off Armpit Hair While Out and About in L.A.

Erika Christensen is all about the au naturel.

The Parenthood alum, 42, was spotted out and about in Los Angeles on Saturday, July 12. While running errands, Christensen rocked a pair of ripped jeans and a sleeveless black sweater that showed off her natural armpit hair. She accessorized the look with a white bag and matching sneakers, with her shoulder-length red tresses half pulled back in a bun.

Christensen, who shares two children with husband Cole Maness, has often been open about preferring a more natural approach. During a 2020 episode of the “Inside of You” podcast, she told host Michael Rosenbaum that she often feeds her family “raw milk” and other unpasteurized dairy products. She also had a natural birth for both of her children, including a surprise home birth for youngest child, Polly. (Christensen and Maness welcomed daughters Shane and Polly in 2016 and 2018, respectively.)

Christensen is far from the first woman in Hollywood to embrace her body hair. Bachelor Nation star Bekah Martinez responded to a hater’s comment earlier this month about her grown out leg hair, sharing that she started to “sneak” her mom’s razors when she was in third grade because “family, friends and even coaches” would “tease” her for her “jet black leg stubble” that was growing out.

“It was seemingly harmless but continued to reinforce that my body’s hair was wrong,” she wrote via Instagram in July. “ “I stopped shaving when I was pregnant with my first child. I wanted my daughter (and my future sons) to see that hair on a woman’s body is normal.”

Model Emily Ratajkowski has also been candid about her decision to embrace her armpit hair, stating in an August 2019 essay for Harper’s Bazaar that what women do with their body is ultimately their choice.

“If I decide to shave my armpits or grow them out, that’s up to me,” she wrote. “For me, body hair is another opportunity for women to exercise their ability to choose — a choice based on how they want to feel and their associations with having or not having body hair.”

She added that while some days she has a desire to shave, others she feel sexier letting her hair grow out.

Celebrity moms are becoming more and more open about their pregnancies — and have started sharing their postpartum bodies on social media. “So amazing what we [mothers] can do,” Bachelor Nation’s Bekah Martinez captioned an Instagram Story mirror selfie in February 2019 after welcoming her first baby. “I’ve never felt so much respect and love […]

“There is no right answer, no choice that makes me more or less of a feminist, or even a ‘bad feminist,’ to borrow from Roxane Gay,” she continued. “As long as the decision is my choice, then it’s the right choice. Ultimately, the identity and sexuality of an individual is up to them and no one else.”
