2013: The Year in Butts
2013 might be the year of the snake, the year of the cronut, and the year of Cara Delevingne, but it is also the year of the butt. Whether it was the side-butt trend that swept the red carpet and had celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Ke$ha competing to prove they were most underwear-free, or the onslaught of Instagram butt selfies (belfies) that appealed to the likes of Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and Kim Kardashian, Hollywood was all about the behind. Take a look back at some of the biggest booty moments of the year.

Jennifer Lawrence's Dior Butt "I think any time a girl has to show her thighs it's never going to be her favorite look," J.Law said of her sheer Dior gown on Good Morning America. It was quite the daring look for the Hunger Games star, and gave us flashbacks to another YA franchise sweetheart's butt-baring look.

Gwyneth Paltrow This was the year of the Goop butt reveal. Not only did she debut some serious side-butt on the red carpet — which led to the declaration that bush is back — she opened up about her struggle with "long butt," which, thankfully, has been been cured.

Justin Bieber's Troubled Butt This is the year Justin Bieber cracked. His butt might not have made too many appearances, but this example of the Bieb's red-boxered behind, which is reminiscent of the dudes of the Clueless generation, shows just how far he's let his image sag.

Male Butt-Enhancement Surgery "I like big butts and I cannot lie" might be a line from Sir-Mix-A-Lot's 1992 anthem, "Baby Got Back," but it's also apparently something men started saying this year. 2013 will go down in history as the year when men stopped accepting their flat, pant-unsupporting behinds, and took matters into their own hands/butts.

Kate Moss's Tan Tush The 39-year-old starred in an ad campaign for self-tanning company St. Tropez completely nude, proving that she's a hot asset with or without the help of Photoshop.

Madonna's Punk Butt For this year's Met Gala, Madonna proclaimed that Givenchy fishnets, butt jewelry, and tush cleavage were punk. But getting her behind in good enough shape to make such a statement? That's just smart.

Ke$ha's Side-Butt Leave it to Ke$ha to up the ante when it comes to side-butt. Not one to hide behind sheer fabric, the singer went for a side slit that left absolutely nothing to the imagination, but likely made watching fans worried about gusts of wind. Photo: Jeff Bottari/2013 Getty Images

Beyoncé's Suprise Butt No one knew it was coming, but Bey gave the world an extra-special treat when she released fourteen new songs and seventeen new videos last week.

Lululemon's Sheer Legging Fiasco Lululemon and yoga pants had it rough this year. After the company was forced to recall some of its sheer pants, the founder made some rather ill-advised (not to mention offensive) fat-shaming comments and had to step down. Since most women already realized that the leggings they wear to the gym are sheer, what the scandal really brought to light was how many sheer-pant puns there really are.
