Nudity is seen as art in some cultures — and blasphemy in others. Nudity in movies isn’t anything new, but there is always fresh meat to be had, and a hungry populace to feed. Here are 40 gorgeous celebrities we’d love to go nude on the silver screen. Keep in mind, some of these beautiful ladies have let some cheek or side-boob show before, some even fell victim to the nip-slip here and there, usually unintentionally, so we’re not counting that. We’re talking full-frontal nudity here. Let’s get started, shall we?
Michelle Trachtenberg
Michell Trachtenberg has sure grown up since Harriet the Spy. The Daytime Emmy-nominated actress has since starred in larger roles on the silver screen — and in our fantasies. We have yet to see her in anything less than a bikini, so we’re hoping that will change soon.
Sofia Vergara
Colombian beauty Sofia Vergera has been prancing around on TV shows like Dirty Sexy Money, and though we’re not too picky, we’d like to see more. Vergera is the most downloaded Latina in the USA, thanks to Univision, but nothing would be dirtier or sexier than something more risque.
Kristen Bell
Actress Kristen Bell has been in the spotlight since her title role in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, as well as the TV series Veronica Mars. She slipped a nip in the suspense film Spartan, but that doesn’t count. We want more.
Kristin Kreuk
Sweetheart Kristin Kreuk hails from the Great North and is one exotic mix. Half-Danish and half-Chinese, this Smallville star is making us cross our fingers for a peek at that pristine body.
Gemma Atkinson
Busty English model and actress Gemma Atkinson isn’t your average cat walking down the runway, sporting sexy curves. Best known for her role on English soap opera Hollyoaks, Gemma knows how to keep audiences at attention with that rack. Now, if only she’d slip that bra off.
Amanda Bynes
Funny girl Amanda Bynes has filled out since her days on Nickelodeon’s All That — and we like it. She’s been spotted quite a few times in a bikini, in roles like What I Like About You, but what we’d like about her more, is some more skin.
Nadine Velasquez
Nadine Velasquez has made Maxim’s list of the world’s sexiest women twice — and it’s not surprising with a body like hers. We’ve seen her boobs strain against the fabric of a few bikinis, and it’s thorough proof that what’s underneath is nothing short of amazing.
Ali Landry
Capturing an audience from her Doritos Super Bowl commercial, Ali Landry hasn’t left our sights since. She’s starred in a few low-key movies, like Repli-Kate, but has yet to reveal anything more than her bikini allows. And before you disagree, those breasts were not hers in Repli-Kate — they belonged to a body double.
Ali Larter
Actress Ali Larter hit the big time when she landed the role of the conflicted twins on Heroes. We’ve seen her in a scrumptious whipped-cream bikini in Varsity Blues and a nice shot of her ass in 3-Way, but we’ve yet to hit the jackpot. Seems like she’s getting warmer though.
Alicia Silverstone
Alicia Silverstone posed nude for a PETA ad campaign, but unfortunately we couldn’t see any of the goods. We loved her in Clueless, with that sexpot pout, but we’d like to take a gander at her other …parts. We reviewed her scene in Miss Match where a breast is supposedly visible, but no dice, it aired on NBC. She also used a body double in The Crush.
Alyson Hannigan
Ravishing redhead Alyson Hannigan is one hot mom. Her role as the bicurious Willow on Buffy the Vampire Slayer truly whet our appetites, and her recurring role on How I Met Your Mother really wishes she’d let us see if the curtains match the drapes.
Alexis Bledel
This blue-eyed, dark haired beauty has had us captivated since Gilmore Girls. She was attending film school when she was nabbed for the role, which we’re thankful for — since she would have forever been behind the camera. She’s recently signed back into a modeling contract, so we have our hopes up that she’ll consider nude work. She’s already played a prostitute in Sin City, so it’s not too ridiculous a thing to hope for, right?
Elizabeth Banks
Elizabeth Banks has charmed us with her sweet face and banging body — and we’ll never forget the lesbian scenes she did in Wet Hot American Summer. Something is missing though, and Sexual Life didn’t fill that void. We’re tired of nip-slips, they don’t count!
Beyonce Knowles
Singer Beyonce Knowles is bootylicious, and we love it. She’s crossed the divide and now dabbles in acting, with roles in films like Dreamgirls and The Pink Panther — and it’s only made us want to see more of her.
Blake Lively
Though we were hoping for a lesbian scene in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, we were disappointed yet again. Drop-dead gorgeous Blake Lively still gets us hot in the pants with her current role in the rich-kid drama Gossip Girl, but has yet to do any nude scenes. Maybe one with co-star Leighton Meester? Well, we can dream.
Nikki Reed
Actress Nikki Reed hails from LA, but gets her sultry looks from a mixture of Jewish-Italian-Cherokee roots. She plays Edward Cullen’s bitchy sister, Rosalie Hale, in the Twilight saga — though you may not recognize her right away, due to her blonde locks. She’s yet to show much skin, but we’ll still keep the memories of her thong scene in Mini’s First Time.
Christine Taylor
Christine Taylor tightened our pants in A Very Brady Sequel with that bikini of hers, but we have yet to see any less — which makes us sad. We wouldn’t be surprised if husband Ben Stiller kept her from doing any nude scenes, but we sort of understand. Lucky guy.
Cobie Smulders
Smoldering hot Cobie Smulders gets us going every episode of How I Met Your Mother as Robin Scherbatsky. This Canuck cupcake was discovered as a teen by a model scout, and we’re thankful for that. What we really want though, is a nice full-on of that sculpted body.
Eliza Dushku
Eliza Dushku is brunette perfection. We loved the view of that perfect body on Dollhouse, but we first noticed her in Bring It On — even though she’d been acting since childhood. She has yet to do a true nude scene, and fanboys will bring up her boob flash in the flick The Alphabet Killer, but it was unintentional, and barely a nipple.
Emily Browning
Aussie hottie Emily Browning was discovered back when she was performing in school plays, but she has come a long way delighting us in films like Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. So far the young star hasn’t shown anything less than her underwear, but there’s still time to bloom.
Gabrielle Union
Like Eliza, we noticed Gabrielle Union in Bring It On, and we’ve since grown to love this mocha beauty. In Bad Boys II there was a slight accidental nip slip during a back flip, but again, we’re not counting those. We want full-on.
Hayden Panettiere
Another hottie on the cast of Heroes, Hayden Panettiere made a splash with her skimpy cheerleading uniform. She’s still still young, so we expect more than the sexy scenes she’s given us so far — not that we’re complaining!
Jamie Chung
Korean-American beauty Jamie Chung was cast into the MTV reality show The Real World: San Diego, and frankly she fit the bill when it came to sleazy antics. With that said, we’re disappointed she hasn’t flashed us anything more than her panties.
Jennifer Garner
Golden Globe-award winning actress Jennifer Garner is the whole package: hot, funny, talented. She’s a mom of two little girls and is married to Ben Affleck — but we still want to see her naked. Those dimples just get us going.
Kaley Cuoco
Another actress to bloom into a gorgeous young thing, Kaley Cuoco has had a place in our fantasies since The Big Bang Theory premiered. Though we only get to see her in her underwear, it’s a glorious sight.
Katharine McPhee
Season five American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee has shot to stardom since the show’s closing. She’s released several albums, and is dabbling in acting. She played a supporting role in The House Bunny, and although we have yet to look upon that amazing body — she is just getting started.
Katherine Heigl
With a rack begging to be set free, stunner Katherine Heigl mesmerizes us. She’s a regular on Grey’s Anatomy and has starred in 27 Dresses, and apparently showed side-boob in Side Effects. We would pay to see everything she’s got. All good things…
Katy Perry
Santa Barbara, California native Katy Perry kissed a girl — and she liked it. She rose to fame with her drop-dead looks and her dance hit “I Kissed a Girl.” Although it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, we can all agree that we’d like to see her topless, at least.
Lindsay Lohan
Say what you want about Lindsay Lohan, but she has a great rack, gorgeous natural red hair, and adorable freckles. She’s blessed us with her curves in magazine spreads and on the silver screen — albeit with at least underwear on. She’s already taken the first step to peeling it all off on screen, let’s hope she jumps on it.
Mandy Moore
When we think of Mandy Moore, we think of America’s sweetheart. She’s tried to lose some of her sweet side, in getting away from wholesome flicks, but it sticks with her. At the moment, the most you can catch is a split-second side-boob in How to Deal. We wish we didn’t have to deal with only that.
Odette Yustman
Odette Yustman started her acting career out next to Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop, and has blossomed into a lovely Latina goddess. You can catch her wet and undies-clad in The Unborn, until we get her to take off more of her clothes.
Christina Hendricks
Ravishing redhead Christina Hendricks has us all panting at the sight of her assets. Buxom and talented, she’s graced several TV shows, including Tru Calling, Mad Men, and Firefly. She’s just fine with being sexy and prancing around in underwear, but she just needs to let those puppies breathe. We won’t tell anyone.
Eriko Tamura
Known stateside from a small role in Heroes as the swordsmith’s daughter, Princess Yaeko, and more recently cast as the leading role of Mai in Dragonball Evolution, Eriko Tamura is a hot commodity in Japan. She has a full-fledged music career in her native country and also speaks English, German and Japanese fluently. We’d like her to be fluent in nudity as well.
Sarah Chalke
Blonde beauty Sarah Chalke has graced our televisions for about ten years now, and we’re nowhere near tired of her. Another Canadian actress on the list, it seems that they produce some alarmingly hot women up there. Maybe this Scrubs star would be willing to get together with her Canadian counterparts and help us out by showing more skin.
Sarah Silverman
Sarah Silverman is talented, it goes without saying, and she’s one of the funniest women in the business. We take her seriously not only because of her brilliant mind, but because she’s one dark beauty that can’t be ignored. She’s already done a shoot with Maxim, so there’s not much left to take off.
Sarah Roemer
American actress and model Sarah Roemer is best known for her flicks Fired Up, Disturbia, and Asylum. Especially the latter, since there was a clip of her butt and breasts. Don’t get excited though, it was more side-boob.
Summer Glau
Summer Glau has undeniable classic beauty that we’d like to get our hands on. She caught Joss Whedon’s eye after guest-starring in an episode of Angel and has since been cast in Firefly, The 4400 The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Dollhouse. Another beautiful woman we’ve only seen in a bikini, we can only hope for less.
Ellen Page
You may remember the cute Ellen Page from the hit Juno, where she played a knocked-up teen dealing with the consequences. Putting that image out of our mind, we’re left with the petite brunette’s flash of boob and ass crack in The Tracey Fragments. Though it’s not all we’d like to see, we’ll take it as we get it.
Yvonne Strahovski
Born in Australia of Polish parents, Yvonne Strahovski has taken the US by storm with her talent and looks. She currently stars in the TV series Chuck, and the most skin we’ve seen from her is when she wears her underwear. Although she’s relatively new to the scene, we’re hoping she fits right in, and takes it all off.
Zoe Saldana
Zoe Saldana has been around for a while, but has recently gained superstardom with roles like Uhura in the new Star Trek and Neytiri in Avatar. This Dominican beauty has definitely captured the hearts of many a geek, and although we appreciate the underwear scenes we’ve seen — we can’t get enough.
