Lily Allen Is Open About Her Nipple Hair, Why Aren't The Rest Of Us?

Lily Allen posted an Instagram story showing herself getting ready in the bathroom for a Brit awards after-party on Wednesday night: pretty routine behaviour for a #relatable singer in 2019.

Presumably Georgie just wanted to ensure Lily avoided a (what-would-have-been-widely-deemed) "wardrobe malfunction" but by publicly plucking the star's nipple hair, she shed light on a regular, yet undiscussed, part of many women's beauty regimes.

There are some solid high street finds, from the excellent Asos range to Topshop’s small but trend-led collection of maternity wear, and of course Next, Marks and Spencer and Gap.
