Hollywood celebrities surely do know how to use their stark boldness as a fashion tool.

Post-Lopez, everyone from Beyoncé to Kendall Jenner has followed suit, taking the transparent trend to the biggest red carpets around the world.
Here, we take a look through some of fashion’s best ‘naked’ dress moments and the bold celebrities that wore them.

Celebrities Who Slayed In ‘Naked’ Dresses
20. Vanessa Hudgens
The dress code for the 2022 Met Gala was ‘Gilded Glamour,‘ and the night’s live stream co-host took the opportunity to show off her bronzed skin and bejeweled belly button in a totally sheer Moschino puff-sleeve gown.
19. Rihanna
RiRi loves to set her own rules when it comes to style, and her maternity fashion is no different. She attended the Dior show in a completely sheer slip dress over a lace bra and bikini underwear (and made it very clear that she was not looking for any feedback that day).
18. Lizzo
The ‘Truth Hurts‘ superstar donned her own birthday suit when she attended Cardi B’s birthday bash in a violet crystal mesh dress by Matthew Reisman Collection with just a G-string underneath.
17. Meghan Fox
Fox looked like a hot mess in this naked, completely sheer custom Mugler midi dress with subtle shimmery embroidery, worn with an embellished thong underneath at the 2021 MTV VMAs.
16. Zoe Kravitz
The actress decided to appear in a sheer, crystal Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello slip dress with a matching silver thong underneath at the 2021 Met Gala.
15. Beyonce
It takes some guts to wear a dress like this on the red carpet; not only is it skin tight, but it’s also practically see-through. Beyonce turned heads in a custom Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci gown with colourful crystals at the 2015 Met Gala. Though some people may have scrutinized her, when you have a body like Queen B’s, surely you want to show it off. Flawless!
14. Miley Cyrus
The former Disney star hosted the MTV Video Music Awards in 2015 in a crystal-and-lamé Versace concoction. Miley is never shy when it comes to flashing the flesh, and this silver bejeweled ensemble she wore certainly showed. Needless to say, Miley also had some other rather shocking outfits up her sleeve for the event!
13. Toni Braxton
Braxton went with a plunging, slit-to-the-waist Richard Tyler gown at the 2001 Grammy Awards. It became a hot topic of discussion and many wanted to replicate the look.
12. Jennifer Lopez
This iconic jungle print Versace dress scooped down to JLo‘s navel and was virtually backless, leaving very little to the imagination. The very same dress even launched Google Images (and many admirers!) at the Grammy Awards in 2000.
11. Bella Hadid
The younger Hadid went with a see-through, crystal-embellished one-shoulder gown by Ralph & Russo at the 2017 Cannes amfAR Gala. Of course, her pictures went viral.

9. Cher

8. Irina Shayk
The supermodel was the star of the night in a studded, sheer Atelier Versace gown at the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar party. It’s iconic in every which way.
7. Kim Kardashian

6. Lil’ Kim
Kim adorned this sleek number at the MTV VMAs in 1999 and grabbed a lot of eyeballs. She pulled off the ensemble with a lot of grace and elegance.
5. Emily Ratajkowski

4. Addison Rae
The American TikToker was seen in a barely-there top and body chain at the 2021 Movie & TV Awards and fans went gaga over it. Surely, fashion can be a daring game.
3. Rose McGowan
Her dress was one of the most famous ‘naked’ dresses of all time at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards, which she recently said was a political statement in response to her sexual assault.
2. Pink
The singer opted for this nude bodysuit during a performance at the Grammys! After all… it was the night to try and steal all the headlines!
1. Lady Gaga
Gaga wore nothing more than a pair of fishnet stockings and a matching top – teamed with sparkly nipple stickers in the shape of stars for her performance at the Lollapalooza festival. Still, it was considered the summer look. and what better way to turn heads than to wear a practically see-through dress with just a few beads for coverage.
