Breast cancer survivor Olivia Munn embraces her post-mastectomy body.

The actor, who is a paid spokesperson for Skims, stars in the brand’s latest bra campaign in collaboration with Susan G. Komen and shows off her double mastectomy scars in the stunning images.

The 44-year-old is proud of how the images turned out, but told TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie that the photoshoot ended up going in a completely different direction than originally planned.

“When Skims approached me about doing this campaign, it was just about doing their shapewear and their new leggings, and it wasn’t about my scar at all,” she said during an Oct. 23 TODAY show interview .

When Munn changed her outfit, she changed into something that showed more of her scars, and a makeup artist on set began to cover them up, but it was “just really hard,” she explained.

“Then I looked in the mirror and just thought, ‘I’m tired of worrying about my scars,'” Munn recalls. “So I went to the Skims team and said, ‘What do you think about showing my scars in this campaign?’ And they were so great and thoughtful and wonderful. And we talked about it and decided to do it.

Munn, who was diagnosed with Luminal B breast cancer in April 2023, has undergone multiple surgeries. Earlier this year, she told PEOPLE she had “undergone a lymph node dissection, nipple retation (a surgical procedure that spares the nipples), and a double mastectomy.”

Additionally, the star underwent breast reconstruction surgery and began hormone suppression therapy, which induced menopause. Munn also had her ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes removed.

While reflecting on her recent photo shoot, Munn described the experience as “really scary” but said she was glad she did it.

“I feel like this is something I’ve been hiding for a long time, and it just feels like I can breathe a little bit more,” she said.

The mother of two also hopes she can inspire other women to embrace their beauty.

“Because I know that there are so many women who have the same scars as me, I know that so many of them feel the same way I have felt about them for so long. And I hope they see the Skims campaign,” she said. “Skims is so iconic and associated with beauty and sex appeal, and cancer really doesn’t have the same connotation. So I really hope that other women who have walked the same path feel a little better after seeing it.”

Munn first learned that her lifetime risk of developing breast cancer was 37% when her doctor calculated her breast cancer risk assessment score during a routine gynecologist appointment.

Speaking to Savannah, the former “The Newsroom” star encouraged women to understand their own breast cancer risk and not be afraid to take charge of their health.

“What I’ve learned is that … you have to go to your doctor and bombard them with information and don’t stop until you get the test you need,” she said.
