Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Many times when a character is supposedly naked, a woman will only be shown from the shoulders up. A male character in a similar situation might be shown from the waist up, though this is not so common. The level of titillation from this trope can depend on many factors, including the scene context, the mood, the actor(s), and the presence of others of the same or opposite gender. Some viewers might consider such scenes fanservice regardless. This trope can be easily subverted by a later camera shot that reveals a modesty towel, or for that matter a tube top, a strapless bikini, etc. Subtrope of Sexy Discretion Shot. Compare to, and sometimes see it combined with, Toplessness from the Back and Godiva Hair, especially to "prove" that the character is actually at least partly unclothed. The trope codifier is the opening sequence to Petticoat Junction, where the three women are visible from the shoulders up while skinny dipping in the water tank.

Invoked and ultimately subverted at the end of Camp Nowhere. Betty, seemingly naked, swims up to Walter (who has spent the entire movie trying to get her to skinny dip with him) and goads him into stripping as well, only to reveal she was wearing a strapless suit as she leaves with his. | |

That '70s Show has an episode where both Red and Hyde are helping Bob move some stuff in his home. When they open a door, they are flashed by Pam. The whole scene is a combination of this and Toplessness from the Back, so that we can see both Red's and Hyde's mouths on the floor. | |

The Secret World of Alex Mack: The first time Alex Mack turns into a puddle, she inadvertently leaves her clothes behind. When she re-materializes behind a convenient stack of boxes, only her head and bare shoulders can be seen. Because this was a children's show, it caused a small amount of controversy (and a little embarrassment for the lead, who had been wearing a Modesty Towel to encourage the proper reaction), and the incident never recurred in the series. | |

One infamous example from iCarly where the girls were in changing booths. There was the implication that they were topless, but all you really saw were their shoulders. You'd think that this being a kids show, with actual under-18 actresses, that the girls would be wearing something underneath. Except Sam really WAS topless and they had to re-film the scene after the episode aired to eliminate the nip-slip that occurred. Oops! | |

The Price Is Right: For a time from the mid-1980s through about 1992, whenever a prize such as a sauna or a hot tub were being shown, one of Barker's Beauties — despite likely wearing a Modesty Towel or a strapless bikini top — would pose in such a way that everything below the shoulders was beneath the edge of the window, hot tub deck, etc. Host Bob Barker would then joke to the audience implying that said Barker's Beauty was naked. The joke faded once Barker's affair with Dian Parkinson became public and, after leaving the show, she filed a sexual harassment claim against the legendary game show host. | |

James Bond: Played with in The Man with the Golden Gun. After Mary Goodnight and Bond have a make-out session on Scaramanga's ship, she's shown holding up a sheet covering her body with her shoulders exposed. She drops the sheet and reveals that she's wearing a Modesty Towel. In The Living Daylights, Bond rips the top off General Pushkin's mistress to distract a bodyguard entering the room. The bodyguard's POV is shown as a shoulders-up shot of the mistress. This is followed by a Toplessness from the Back shot to imply her naked chest without actually showing it. |

His Dark Materials: After being taken to Bolvangar in "The Lost Boy," Lyra is forced into a Shameful Strip, though Lyra is more just irritated than anything else. There are a handful of shots of Lyra shot from the shoulders up indicating her nudity. The scene is played for Squick, both because the staff is attempting to intimidate and humiliate her, and that it's happening to a child (Lyra is portrayed by then-14 year-old Dafne Keen). Another in "Betrayal" when Lyra is taking a bath while talking to Roger. Keen's shoulders are just visible above the water. |

Petticoat Junction: The "bathing beauty" scene in the opening credits is the trope codifier. One might think that the producers did not "know their own strength" regarding titillation for a 1960s show. However, that may have been subverted by an episode that showed the girls actually swimming in the tank; here, they wore swimsuits, albeit with straps. | |

At one point, Malcolm dozes off and briefly hallucinates a naked cheerleader swimming up to his boat to flirt with him, and she's only seen from the shoulders up. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The title character demonstrates this trope at least twice: in Season 2's "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered" when a potioned-up Buffy tries to seduce Xander, and in Season 6's "Dead Things" during a Buffy–Spike sex scene. Anya, while propositioning Xander in "The Harsh Light of Day". |

The Hogan Family: The fourth-season episode "The Naked Truth" centers on a painting of Sandy that is on display at an art gallery (where Mark and Willie are touring as part of a school trip). Viewers only see the painting from angles showing the shoulders upward, but it is very clear, by Mark and Willie's stunned reaction, the painting shows far more. Sandy learns about the painting and demands that its painter — an old college boyfriend, who had painted another student's nude body, but then painted on Sandy's head instead — fix the situation immediately. He does... by painting a dress on the bottom half. He admits he had fantasized about her in college and wanted to advance their relationship. | |

Jennifer's Body: When Jennifer takes off her shirt to seduce Jonas, the camera doesn't pan below her shoulders, except for a brief Godiva Hair shot. When Jennifer gets out of the lake and walks up to her clothes naked, the camera either stays above her collarbone or focuses on her bare feet and legs. Similarly, when Needy is having sex with Chip, the camera stays above her breasts in the moments when she's not covered by him or something else. |

Pandora: Jax is only seen from the shoulders up when stripping to take a shower in the first episode. It happens again in episode 2 with the Atria clones coming out of their tanks nude but, since this is a CW show, only shot from the collarbone up or with Foot Focus. Pilar is shown this way part of the time when she's made to parade around nude in the school. |

Babylon 5: Lyta appears this way during the show's only sex scene, between her and Byron. Combined with Toplessness from the Back. This is also used during a dream sequence when Ivanova imagines herself naked in public. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Lwaxana Troi attends her own wedding naked as it is Betazed tradition. Majel Barret was filmed from the shoulders up. In another episode, Lwaxana Troi, her daughter Deanna, Worf and his son Alexander enjoy a mud bath. The audience doesn't know whether they were supposed to be have any kind of swimwear. |
