Olivia Wilde’s nipples are doing every woman a favour. So why is she getting hate for them?

Olivia Wilde is the latest star to free the nipple, stunning fans in a see-through top at the runway show for the new Saint Laurent fall/winter collection. 

While this may seem inconsequential to some – what’s wrong with a bit of human skin on show, after all? – the immense backlash online has made it clear that many people still aren’t comfortable with the evolution of modesty standards.

In fact, many have been utterly disgusted, scandalised to their core.

The Booksmart director, 39, who wore a sheer cut-out bodysuit with a smart cargo skirt, leather opera gloves, a choker, tinted aviator sunglasses and a statement belt, has been targeted with comments on social media that range from critical to downright dehumanising about her outfit and nearly-bare breasts on show.
