Scout Willis, daughter of actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, walked the streets of New York without her shirt as a protest against Instagram's no nudity policy.

It might be legal but it's still shocking to see a woman walk the streets of New York topless. Especially when it's someone as famous as Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Scout Willis! According to media reports, the 22-year-old walked around topless as a protest against Instagram's no nudity policy, following a recent online feud the photo-sharing website and Willis had. Instagram took down her primary account after she posted what it called explicit photos.

Later, the fashion designer tweeted pictures of herself shopping around the streets of New York, wearing nothing but a floral-printed skirt and a pair of brown slippers.

"Legal in NYC but not on Instagram," Willis tweeted about her photos. "What @Instagram won't let you see #FreeTheNipple"

She later went on to justify her act by saying it was an attempt to empower women to make choices about their bodies and not base their decisions on what the society deems as fit.

"My comfort with my body should not be dictated by how others perceive me. However, I don't wish to force this view on anyone. If you don't like what you see, simply unfollow me," she continued.

In response to Willis' nudity tactics, Instagram told E! News, "We try hard to find a good balance between allowing people to express themselves creatively and keeping Instagram a fun and safe place. Our guidelines put limitations on nudity and mature content. Once content is reported to us, we review it and remove if it violates our policies."

Willis is the latest celebrity who's had a war of words with the photo-sharing website over its no nudity policy. Very recently, Vogue's creative director Grace Coddington had her account deactivated after she shared a trademark line-drawn figure - a sketch of herself - reclining in a deck chair, nude, as her inaugural post. Coddington is not someone who goes down without a fight. After the account was activated, she posted another nude drawing - this time of cats. However, she was cautious enough to sensor the "private parts" of the animals.

"Good grief Pumpkin, Mother drew a nude selfie for her very first Instagram. No wonder they shut her down ... she is much fatter than that," she captioned the picture.

Prior to this, Frida Giannini's muse and Gucci catwalk regular Anja Rubik faced similar scrutiny when she shared a picture of herself wearing an overcoat and a gauzy sheer top, revealing at least one nipple. The picture was taken when she walked the ramp during Anthony Vaccarello's Autumn/Winter 2014 show. The account was shut down within 24 hours.

"I think this whole thing is ridiculous," Rubik told Style.com at the time. "It's like saying to the world that a woman's body is offensive. You can't show a nipple behind a sheer shirt?"

The incident sparked the "Don't fear the nipple, Instagram" campaign. Kendall Jenner, who walked for Marc Jacobs this season wearing a sheer top, had the image of her most high profile booking removed from her Instagram account.
