The Page 3 Girl, a feature of British tabloids for decades that allowed readers to turn the front page and stare at a topless woman over breakfast or on their commute to work, is getting covered up.

The Daily Star, the final holdout in the market, has been trying a nipple-free Page 3 since the beginning of this month — although women still figure prominently on that page.

“The Daily Star is always looking to try new things and improve,” Jonathan Clark, the editor, said in an emailed statement. “In that spirit, we’ve listened to reader feedback and are currently trialling a covered-up version of Page 3.”

Topless women on Page 3 have endured in British tabloids since the 1970s, and are associated with The Sun, the Rupert Murdoch-owned paper with a circulation of about 1.4 million. The Sun reveled in the controversy around the images. In the latter years of the feature, The Sun featured topless women with a small “News in Briefs” item quoting the young woman’s thoughts on current affairs.
