No room for underwear here! Selita Ebanks struggles to protect her modesty in white gown featuring entirely sheer side panels
She rose to fame as one of Victoria’s Secret’s Angels from 2005 to 2009.
So it’s no surprise that Selita Ebanks feels more than at ease with her figure and isn’t shy about showing it off.
And taking her ‘body confident’ attitude to a whole new level the 30-year-old slipped into a dress featuring entirely sheer panels as she attended a fundraiser in New York on Tuesday evening.
Making sure she stole the show the Cayman-born fashion model shunned underwear to create a very dramatic effect.
As she made her way into the 14th New Yorkers for Children Fall event- an annual fundraiser which helps disadvantaged youth in foster care – she appeared to struggle with the very tight dress.
Pulling the white number together as much as she could Selita did what she could to avoid showing off too much.
But it wasn’t quite enough as the sheer side panelling gave away a glimpse of her side boob and ample thigh.
In keeping with the theatrical look of the dress she wore her hair sleek in a side parting and added a bold dash of deep red lipstick.
The dress no doubt turned heads particularly as it was attended by New York Mayor Bloomberg and actor Hugh Jackman.
Meanwhile Selita appears happy to have moved on from her time as an Angel. When asked by Page Six earlier in the year if she would try out again, she said:
‘Probably not, no. I think I’ve done what five, six shows? I think I’ve experienced my VS days.’
The supermodel, who played the legendary phoenix in Kanye West’s 2010 film Runaway, has also worked for high fashion brands Neiman Marcus and Ralph Lauren, and featured in magazines such as Sports Illustrated and Vogue.
Be body confident like Selita and show some skin in a sheer white number
If you’ve got it!
Wow, we really love this look. She may be retired but last night Selita Ebanks proved that she can still make jaws drop as she walked the red carpet in this daring number.
Her floor-length sweeping white dress which featured a sheer side panel decorated with delicate gold leaf detailing is reminiscent of angels, more than proving that the former Victoria’s Secret model still has her heavenly status.
If you’re on the hunt for an elegant yet daring dress that will turn heads then see our similar picks to Selita’s here. The sheer paneling designs are flirty while the long lengths and sophisticated cuts ensure the look remains classy. It’s not often, after all, that one could leave the house sans pants and get away with it quite so well.
Just team yours with black or white courts and punctuate with gold jewels for a polished finish that will exclude fashion and body confidence.
