Stars like Julia Fox, Zoë Kravitz, and Katy Perry are just a few of the many celebrities who have opted for tushie-showing outfits at high-profile events.
In today’s day and age, where audiences are drowning in content, experts say showing some skin is an easy way to grab attention.
When all kinds of social media content, celebrity events, and political news are “competing for people’s attention,” the “n*ked skin” is one element that can “cut through the noise,” according to Erika V. Hall, a trained social psychologist whose research focuses on gender and stereotypes.

“The sight of uncovered skin can create a number of strong emotional responses, from attraction to fear to curiosity to embarrassment,” she told Bored Panda via email.
“Thus, showing one’s n*ked skin is a reliable way to draw attention and evoke strong emotion. You can call it ‘shock value’ and sometimes it is,” she continued.
“But I think that it can also be a way of defying social norms, asserting ownership over our bodies and even a political statement depending on the context in which it is done.”
