Drew Barrymore stunned onlookers at a New York fashion show - by revealing her hairy armpits.

The stunning actress made an appearance at the show, which featured designs by Marc Jacobs, at the Lexington Avenue Armory, and fellow guests were left shocked at Drew's refusal to shave.

One said: "She looked absolutely stunning but all people were mentioning were her hairy armpits."

The 29-year-old beauty, who has reportedly split from boyfriend Fabrizio Moretti, is not the first celebrity to favour the unshaven look.

In April 1999, Julia Roberts revealed her hairy underarms at the British premiere of 'Notting Hill' after waving to the crowd.

Last year, Elizabeth Jagger posed for a series of photographs with her arms aloft, showing a tuft of dark hair.

Other stars who are rumoured to not shave included Helena Bonham Carter and Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson.
