Kim Kardashian is praising her newest SKIMS model, Olivia Munn.
The entrepreneur, 44, took to Instagram Stories to praise Munn’s new campaign for the shapewear brand in which the actress, also 44, shows off her double mastectomy scars.
“Hell yeah,” Kardashian wrote above a photo of Munn posing topless to the side, a scar visible next to her breast. The reality star also tagged Munn and SKIMS in the post.
The campaign, which was released on Wednesday, October 23, marks the first time Munn has shown off her surgical scars. In the photos, Munn models the brand’s signature bras and shapewear, including the Ultimate Nipple Bra in Clay, the Ultimate Teardrop Push-Up Bra in Sienna, the Multiple Bra in Onyx, and the Back Smoothing Body in Onyx.
“I felt a sense of freedom,” she told PEOPLE about launching the campaign. “It’s a part of my journey that was hidden, so sharing it was liberating.”

Olivia Munn felt ‘freedom’ as she showed off double mastectomy scars: ‘Beauty is in every experience’ (Exclusive)
Munn was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer in April 2023 after tests revealed she had luminal B, a fast-moving, aggressive cancer. Since then, she has had five operations including a lymph node dissection, a double mastectomy and a hysterectomy.
“I want other women to love their scars because they are proof that we fought hard to be here,” Munn told PEOPLE of the campaign, which also helps raise money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. “Beauty exists in every experience.”

“We were in the middle of filming and we were changing clothes that could show more of my scars and the makeup artist was touching up my scars and we got to my double mastectomy scars and they were really hard to cover up,” she recalled during the Oct. 23 show. “And then I looked in the mirror and I just thought, ‘I’ve been pretty insecure about my scars.’ ”
In a brand statement, Kardashian said, “Olivia’s courage in sharing her story is deeply moving and we are honored to amplify her voice this Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Partnering with her and Susan G. Komen allows SKIMS to advance our commitment to inclusivity and support to every body.”
