Paris Jackson hits back at body shamers as she defiantly posts snap of her unshaven legs… after hitting MTV VMA red carpet with hairy armpits

Much like her legendary father, Paris Jackson has told body hair shamers to Beat It.

The 19-year-old star - who has openly discussed her choice to remain au naturel before - has defiantly posted a photo on Instagram of her unshaven legs on Monday night to her 1.9 million followers.

The social media post comes after she gained plenty of attention by flaunting her armpit hair on the red carpet of the MTV VMAs on Sunday night.

In the social media snap, Paris could be seen puffing on a cigarette as she showed off her unshaven legs in a pair of tiny shorts.

She joked that it was a competition between she and brother Prince Michael Jackson II as she captioned it: 'If you're not competing with your brother over who can grow longer leg hair wyed.'

The teenage star appeared to be quite proud of her fuzzy pins as she took to her Instagram Story to share a number of photos of them on Monday.

Sizzle in sheer Dior like Paris Jackson

Paris Jackson looked like a boho-dream in this Dior resort sheer and embroidered dress. Paris has recently made a big media takeover with her controversial Rolling Stone cover and interview and is quickly shaping up to be the "it" girl to watch.

With a famous last name it's easy to believe that Pairs opted for one of the most recognizable names in fashion for her big night. Dior.

This last resort collection that Dior (now led by Maria Grazia Chiuri) was heavily inspired by cave paintings in Lascaux, and Monsieur Dior was fascinated by these throughout his life.

You can see these elements throughout the design and the logo-underpinnings fit so well with the current athleisure obsession.

The up-and-coming actress took to her Twitter to poke fun at the uproar as she made light of people asking her why she doesn't shave to which she responded with a Game Of Thrones 'Winter Is Coming' meme. 

The previous day her armpit hair was on display in her Christian Dior outfit at MTV's biggest night.

Paris has been vocal about the criticism she has received about her choice to go au naturel as she tweeted back in March: 'Wow she grows hair like every human being on the planet, what is she doing with her life.'

Around that time she also took to her Snapchat to address the outrage surrounding her body hair as according to Elle UK she said: 'I didn't realise that people were going to get so upset over my armpit hair. I didn't realise that was such an issue. It is so funny.

'People are really mad. I wish I could post some of these responses. You can just tell how angry and infuriated these people are... I love hair, and sweat, and BO. I f***ing love it, I think it's great. 

'Some people think that it's like super disgusting, especially on girls, but every human body does it. It's natural. Get over it.'
