The most outrageous celeb pic this year
Stars like Katy Perry, Cardi B and even a handful of big Aussie bands stripped off to grab our attention this year.
1/18Katy Perry’s Woman’s World video launched an album campaign whose central theme seemed to be “How many ways can I wear a G-string?”
2/18Woman’s World was a spectacular chart flop, missing the top 40 in most countries.
3/18Perry kept the clothes off for her (much better) follow-up single, Lifetimes.
4/18The video saw her cavorting on the beach in Ibiza in a G-string bikini.
5/18Lifetimes also failed to trouble the charts. Picture: SPLASH / BACKGRID
6/18Third time lucky? Perry stripped off again for the video to third single I’m His, He’s Mine. Picture: SPLASH / BACKGRID
7/18Canadian pop singer Tate McRae got arrested for public indeceny in the It’s OK, I’m OK video.
8/18Take her away, boys!
9/18Cardi B in the Enough music video, showing she definitely doesn’t skip leg day.
10/18The video had some, ahem... ‘inventive’ camera angles.
11/18Local heroes Confidence Man commandeered a helicopter high above London for the I Can’t Lose You music video.
12/18The band’s rapper Sugar Bones nudes up for an open-air chopper ride.
13/18Please, Sugar, we can see your bones.
14/18Confidence Man by name, Confidence Man by nature.
15/18Aussie punk band Amyl and the Sniffers didn’t strip off for their single Jerkin’...
16/18...they left that to the extras in the video instead.
17/18They said the video was “intended for artistic expression and body positivity, not for sexual gratification.”
18/18Let’s finish this gallery as we started it: With Katy Perry on the set of a music video in a G-string. Picture: SPLASH / BACKGRID
