bare all

Hide nothing whatsoever

To bare all is to expose everything, either literally by removing all clothing or figuratively by revealing one's deepest secrets, feelings, or truths.

The phrase often appears in contexts of emotional vulnerability: She bared all in her memoir.

It can also describe nudity, especially in entertainment: The actor agreed to bare all for the film.
