The Most Risqué Red Carpet Looks of all Time

As Jennifer Lopez and her jungle-print Versace dress and Rihanna’s Adam Selman “naked dress” have shown, anything goes on the red carpet. The motto for some celebrities? Less is more.

Kendall Jenner and Zoë Kravitz flew the flag for teeny-tiny underwear at the 2021 Met Gala, when they both attended fashion’s big night in tantalizingly sheer gowns. Back in 2015, Beyoncé arrived at the same event in a scene-stealing barely-there dress by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy, and in 2019, Emily Ratajkowski interpreted the Camp: Notes on Fashion theme in a memorable ab-baring showgirl look by Dundas.

This year, Kim Kardashian stunned with 50,000 freshwater pearls at the Met Gala, courtesy of Schiaparelli’s Daniel Roseberry. EmRata, once again, turned heads in a sheer Feben gown at Vanity Fair’s star-studded Oscars after-party. Most recently, Florence Pugh commanded all attention in a transparent lilac dress at the Valentino haute couture show in Château de Chantilly.

Here, some of the most daring red-carpet looks of all time, which leave little to the imagination.
