In a powerful statement during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, actress Olivia Munn has taken a courageous step by unveiling her mastectomy scars in a new campaign for Skims, the shapewear brand founded by Kim Kardashian.

The campaign, launched on October 23, features Munn modeling various Skims products, including bras and leggings, while openly sharing her journey with breast cancer.

Munn, 44, recently underwent a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2023. In an interview with Today, she reflected on her decision to go topless for the shoot, stating, “When I look at the scars or how my breasts look different… I just feel a lot of gratitude.

The way my body looks is just a representation of how hard I fought”. This candid approach not only highlights her personal battle but also aims to inspire others who may feel self-conscious about their own scars.

The decision to showcase her scars was somewhat spontaneous. During the shoot, as the makeup artist worked on touching up her scars, Munn realized she was ready to embrace them. “I thought, ‘I’m done being insecure about my scars,’” she explained.

This moment of self-acceptance led her to propose the idea of featuring her scars in the campaign, which the Skims team wholeheartedly supported.

Munn’s journey has been marked by resilience; she underwent four surgeries over ten months and has openly discussed the emotional and physical challenges she faced along the way. She emphasized that despite having a “normal” mammogram just two months prior to her diagnosis, further assessments revealed the need for more extensive examinations that ultimately led to her surgery. 

In addition to promoting body positivity and acceptance, Munn’s collaboration with Skims also has a charitable component. For every bra sold from October 23 to October 31, Skims will donate 10% of the retail price to Susan G. Komen, an organization dedicated to breast cancer awareness and research. This initiative aligns perfectly with Munn’s message of empowerment and support for those affected by breast cancer.

Munn’s openness about her experience is part of a broader movement within the entertainment industry where celebrities are increasingly using their platforms to address health issues and advocate for mental well-being.

By sharing her scars and story, Munn hopes to connect with other women who may feel insecure about their bodies post-surgery. “Every mark left on my body signifies the struggle I’ve endured,” she shared on Instagram, encouraging others to find strength in their own journeys.

The campaign not only serves as a personal milestone for Munn but also as a reminder of the importance of health awareness and community support during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Her boldness in showcasing her scars challenges societal norms around beauty and encourages conversations about body image and recovery.

As Olivia Munn continues to navigate life after cancer treatment, she stands as a beacon of hope and resilience for many. Her involvement in this campaign is more than just a fashion statement; it’s a testament to her journey and an encouragement for others to embrace their stories, scars and all.

Through this powerful collaboration with Skims, Munn not only redefines beauty standards but also fosters a sense of community among those who share similar experiences.
