Even 30 years ago, naked dresses automatically contained a wow effect. Cher, Tina Turner, Kate Moss – that’s who they talked about for weeks, months, years.
Now we know in advance that there will be another nude dress on any major red carpet – the question is who will wear it. And will he be able to carry it as worthy as the divas of a bygone era?
We will immediately discuss the details: we love and adore Lopez, Paltrow, and the rest of the celebrities in our selection, but we also recognize that they, like any living people, are not alien to fashionable blunders. And even when the Western gloss looks at J. Lo’s black dress with tenderness and believes that it is “luxurious” and “leaves no room for imagination” – well, it is. But at the same time, this is not a fresh idea – to use an outfit with “islands”. Moreover, it is extremely dangerous, because such outfits are ready to instantly betray their mistresses. On the models on the catwalk, even look a little conservative – for example, a strip of transparent fabric on the hips, nothing more. But on curvy girls…
Jennifer Lopez
Let’s start with our J. Lo, which inspired us to nostalgia for “geographical” dresses. At the premiere of the Netflix film Halftime about herself, the singer appeared in a Tom Ford outfit. Tom regularly supplies his star girlfriend with couture novelties, and most often this union is incomparable. But the thin fabric, clearly not designed for the figure of Lopez, this time was on the verge. Attention to the skirt and folds, with which it is scary to take a step – what if they burst? And a naked dress will no longer have a metaphorical meaning.
Rita Ora
In 2015, Rita Ora decided to knock out her rivals at the Oscars and chose a Donna Karan Atelier trick dress with chiffon inserts. Although the word “inserts” is perhaps superfluous here – there was much more transparent fabric than dense “islands”. In full-face, Rita looked more than stern, but as soon as she turned around, the designer’s idea was revealed … In all its glory. At the right angle and during the movement of Ora, even more, was seen than necessary.
Vanessa Hudgens
And here is the novelty among the “geographical” dresses, which Vanessa Hudgens showed to the world on MTV. To be honest, we are joking about the phenomenon: after the release of the bright pink Valentino collection, celebrities rushed to buy fuchsia dresses, raincoats, and trousers, so zealously that hot pink began to ripple in their eyes. But Vanessa still could not resist and tried on a hot novelty, but we don’t know how her bust held up in the island bodice. They looked safe on the models, but slender Hudgens was clearly willing to take the risk. Throughout the ceremony, we crossed our fingers – let nothing fall!
Jamie Alexander
In 2013, this dress by Jamie Alexander was named “the most provocative in Hollywood.” It “works” in the same way as Rita Ora’s outfit – that is, it shines through and shifts when walking, exposing what the “islands” of dense fabric tried to hide. While the actress was telling reporters about how she got a luxurious figure on her own, and she doesn’t go to the hall at all, photographers clicked the shutters of their cameras. And yet, they filmed something that the star did not count on – the frames are still walking on the Internet with black rectangles in the form of censorship.
Gwyneth Paltrow
There are at least 5 naked dresses in the Gwyneth collection, which we will recall offhand. Obviously, she likes the wow effect, but the actress called this exit to Antonio Berardi a failure. “I couldn’t change and put on underwear,” she complained on a TV show after the red carpet. On the other hand, this premiere of “Iron Man” is still remembered by journalists and fans – and it’s all about the same “islands” that again showed more than planned, but entered the “naked” fashion history.
