Olivia Munn showed off her mastectomy scars as she took part in a powerful new ad campaign for Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS brand.
Munn, who underwent a double mastectomy following her breast cancer diagnosis last year, wore no top as she posed with a scar visible on her left breast.
The star, 44, opened up about her health ordeal in video taken for the campaign, telling the camera: ‘Someone said this phrase to me, and it meant a lot and it really touched me. When it comes to breast cancer, welcome to the worst club with the best members.’
‘My name is Olivia Munn and I’m a breast cancer survivor,’ she says. ‘When I look at the scars or how my breasts look different or how clothes fit on me differently, I just feel a lot of gratitude.
‘The way my body looks is just a representation of how hard I’ve fought.’

The campaign, occurring in the midst of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, also saw Olivia model an array of other looks from SKIMS, including a tan bra and bottoms and black bra with an angled strap.
Olivia shared snaps from the campaign to her own ad, writing: ‘KINTSUGI 金継ぎ. In the middle of this latest @SKIMS bra campaign shoot, I decided I was done being insecure about my mastectomy scars.
‘Every mark life has left behind on my body is proof of how hard I fought. I hope other women who have been self-conscious about their scars see these photos and feel all the love I’m sending.
‘It’s really meaningful to be part of an initiative that supports research and helps countless individuals impacted by breast cancer.
‘From October 23, 2024 to October 31, 2024, SKIMS will donate to Susan G. Komen® 10% of the retail sales price for each bra sold in SKIMS stores and on Skims.com, excluding bralettes (U.S. Only) #ad.’
In an interview with Today, Olivia revealed that the campaign initially wasn’t supposed to be about her scars – until she chose to embrace them.
‘When Skims approached me to do this campaign, it was just to do their shapewear and their new leggings, and it wasn’t about my scar at all,’ she said.
But while shooting the campaign, Olivia struggled to conceal the scars once she changed into an outfit where they became more visible.

‘But were in the middle of the shoot and we changed into an outfit that could see more of my scars so the makeup artist was touching up my scars and then we got to the double mastectomy scars and they were just really hard to cover up,’ she said.
‘Then I was looking in the mirror, and I just thought, “I’m done being insecure about my scars,”‘ she recalled. ‘So I went to the team of Skims and I said, “What do you guys think about showing my scars in this campaign?”
‘And they were so amazing and thoughtful and wonderful. And we talked it out and then we decided to do it.’
