Abbie Chatfield's Shock Beauty Confessions: Why She Lost A Brand Deal & The Full Bush Renaissance

Forget everything you thought you knew about hair removal: the full bush is officially back, and Abbie Chatfield says it might even be the secret to better orgasms! Welcome to The Full Bush Renaissance, the major cultural mood shift of 2025. Women everywhere are opting out of the exhausting cycle of shaving, waxing, and quiet shame… and Abbie shares the shocking story of how she was dropped from a major brand deal simply for choosing to show her body hair and keep things real.

We set the scene with all the awards-night beauty, chaos and gossip before diving into Abbie’s world: from the very quirky pre-show ritual her boyfriend Adam Hyde swears by (yes, it involves her undies) to how she deals with constant online criticism and body shaming. Abbie shares her full curly hair routine for summer frizz, and the secret to her resilient skin — including her affordable holy-grail $11 CeraVe balm.
