If you’ve been keeping up (sorry) with Kylie Jenner‘s Instagram lately, you’ll have noticed that she’s pretty much been living in a bikini. Oh, to be spending lockdown by a pool in the Cali sunshine.
But the eagle-eyed amongst you may also have noticed that in one of the selfies she shared to her Insta, the stretch marks on her boobs are clearly visible.
While it doesn’t exactly come as a shock – newsflash: women get stretch marks on their boobs and there is nothing wrong with that – it is refreshing to see a celebrity with such a huge following showing off her stretch marks; something which, thanks to society’s impossible beauty standards, are often seen as a ‘flaw’.

Fans took to social media to praise Kylie, with such comments as: “If Kylie has stretch marks and is still rocking it, why can’t we accept that on ourselves?” and “Kylie Jenner has stretch marks on her boobies, and idk why but this makes me feel like it’s okay that I too have stretch marks”.
It’s not the first time Kylie has been praised for body positivity and embracing her so-called ‘imperfections’. She’s previously been open about the scar on her leg – which she got as a child playing hide and seek with sister Kendall – even sharing a close-up snap on Instagram, commenting: “I love my scar.”
The 22-year-old also spoke candidly about the change to her body including stretch marks – shortly after giving birth to her daughter, Stormi Webster, in 2018.
“I feel like people think that I bounced back super fast, which I guess I did… but my boobs are definitely three times the size which bothers me, I have stretch marks on my boobs, my stomach isn’t the same, my waist isn’t the same, my butt’s bigger, my thighs are bigger.”
