LONDON — After more than 40 years of running a picture of a topless woman almost daily on its Page 3, The Sun, Britain’s raucous and best-selling newspaper, appears to have given in to changing social attitudes.

On Monday, The Sun showed photographs of the model and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who, despite the headline “Rosie’s got no clothesies,” was wearing a range of lacy lingerie. On Tuesday, Page 3 showed pictures of actresses in bikinis on a beach.
