{{trope}}
[[File:furcoat back 5597.jpg|frame|[[Naked in Mink]] goes well with this trope. ]]
 
 
A naked or topless woman is shown only by the camera showing her bare back (and nothing below her waist). This usually means someone is seeing her Sexy Front... but not us. Allows the ''suggestion'' of female nudity without actually showing the bare breasts. A form of [[Discretion Shot]].
Line 10 ⟶ 9:
 
For clothing that exposes the back but covers the front, see [[Sexy Backless Outfit]].
 
{{examples}}
 
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Inuyasha]]'', Kagura has one of these in an episode when she's attacked from behind, showing off Naraku's mark on her back.
Line 68 ⟶ 67:
* Saffron in the ''[[Firefly]]'' episode "Our Mrs. Reynolds".
** And Inara taking a sponge bath in the unaired pilot. Lucky sponge.
* Caprica-Six or Sharon Valerii [Athena] in ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', and basically an excuse to have a sex scene ''and'' show off the glowing spines of the female Cylons (at least initially, as the concept <s>was forgotten</s> [[Retcon|would have made identifying Cylons too easy]]).
* Zhaan ("[[Innocent Fanservice Girl|Is nudity a taboo in your culture?]]") and Chiana in ''[[Farscape]]''.
** And Sikozu in season 4.
Line 81 ⟶ 80:
** Also once with Sarah Alexander's character.
* Abbey in [[NCIS]] had one of these scenes early in the series, and it is now part of her montage in the opening credits
* In the ''[[Married... with Children]]'' episode "Her Cups Runneth Over", a woman in the lingerie store asks Al's opinion of a sexy ensemble she's wearing, asking if he'd like it if she was her boyfriend. When he replies in the affirmative, she asks if he'd like it better without the bra, and removes it, invoking this trope (and causing Al, who has full view, to faint). Incidentally, this is the episode that started the famous letter-writing campaign in 1989, calling for a boycott of the show (that backfired).
 
 
== [[Magazines]] ==
* The ''Vanity Fair'' photo of [[Hannah Montana|Miley Cyrus]] that caused so much controversy in 2008.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20160728101927/http://www.maxim.com/women-az/brooke-burns-profile This] ''Maxim'' photo of Brooke Burns in [[Walking Swimsuit Scene|a monokini]].
* ''[[Playboy|Playboy's Bathing Beauties 1994]]'': [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] and played straight in [http://www.imagebam.com/image/39d34f405704661# both of these] [[Walking Swimsuit Scene| monokini pics]] of Jacqueline Sheen. The one on left's subverted and the one on the right's played straight.([[NSFW]])
 
Line 114 ⟶ 113:
* In [[Shifters]], shown [http://shiftersonline.com/chapter-3-pg-1/ here] in [http://shiftersonline.com/chapter1-cover/ "Shifters - Redux"] {{spoiler|when Ferrah arrives in a [[Mental World]] quite naked.}}
* ''[[Last Res0rt]]'': at one point, Daisy ends up [http://www.lastres0rt.com/2012/05/again-showering-is-very-important/ looking at herself] in a mirror to inspect why her implants ([[I Thought It Meant|no, her BIONIC implants]]) are going haywire.
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Leela and Amy have the need to de-top in ''several'' episodes of ''[[Futurama]]'', usually enacting this Trope, often when Fry has full view.
