Scarlett Byrne

“I’m very proud to be a part of the March/April [2017] issue of Playboy,” says actress and influencer, Scarlett Byrne. Along with her beautiful pictorial, Scarlett wrote a short essay entitled, “The Feminist Mystique,” where she explores what it means to take ownership of your sexuality in the world today. “When women associate themselves with anything involving ownership of their sexuality, they’re often perceived as having abandoned their intellect,” she writes. “It became clear that shooting for the magazine meant that I could be a part of a conversation about women unfolding in real time. As we flood the streets marching for choice, health care rights and freedom of expression, I realized how important this was to me. It’s about equality. It’s about liberation.” Check out the pictorial that goes along with these thought-provoking words, here on Playboy Plus.
