Daring dresses 2
The 33 most daring dresses celebrities have ever worn Part 2
By Kim Renfro and Chloe Pantazi, INSIDER From Business Insider
Celebrities often push the boundaries of fashion on the red carpet, from wearing dresses designed like a swan’s body to outfits made entirely from recycled bottles. But a bigger trend that began taking off in 2016 was the “naked” dress — gowns and outfits designed to show maximum skin while still keeping covered.
Ciara also wore a dress with an extremely high slit up one side for the 2016 Grammy Awards.

Though Ciara’s take on the high-slit may seem tame compared to Chrissy Teigen’s dresses, her exposed hip bone was still a risk.
Besides high slits, mesh cutouts are another trend. Jaimie Alexander stunned in this dress at the 2013 premiere of Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World.”

During an appearance on Jay Leno’s “Late Night” show, Alexander explained that she was wearing “something” under the dress, but didn’t elaborate on her undergarments.
Singer Rita Ora made waves at the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in her take on the black mesh gown.

The dress, designed by Donna Karan Atelier, took the concept of see-through side paneling to a whole new level. Oddly enough, Ora wasn’t the only person to wow with a black gown at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party that year.
Model Irina Shayk attended the same Vanity Fair event in an even more daring sheer dress.

The Atelier Versace gown was entirely sheer down one side. The dress also incorporated mesh tights, allowing Shayk to comfortably walk.
Gwyneth Paltrow embraced the sheer paneled style at the 2013 premiere of “Iron Man 3.”

Her take was slightly more modest. From the front view, it was hard to tell that her gown had cutaway paneling. But from the side, Paltrow’s dress wowed onlookers.
The most recent celeb to tackle the sheer-sided gown was “Westworld” star Angela Sarafyan.

Though Vanity Fair reports that the Celia Kritharioti gown had mesh paneling, it’s nearly impossible to see in the photos of Sarafyan rocking this dress.
Amber Rose attended the 2017 VMAs in a glamorous floor-length dress with an almost entirely sheer, fishnet-style pattern.

Rihanna really took the “naked” concept to a new level at the 2014 CFDA awards.

Completed with a pink fur shawl, this Rihanna outfit was a memorable installment in her fashion evolution. Her hair stylist also gave fans a fun look at Rihanna celebrating that evening, with a video of the singer dancing and overall celebrating how awesome she looked.
Hailey Baldwin wore a silver jumpsuit in a super thin material with a low V-neck and wide velvet belt to the VMAs in 2017.

On the same night, Hailey Baldwin wore a second see-through jumpsuit — this time, in a black lace material with visible black underwear and a pair of knee-high velvet boots.

Who can forget Miley Cyrus’ multiple daring outfits during her stint as the 2015 VMA host?

Cyrus is another celebrity with a crazy fashion evolution, and her appearance at the 2015 VMAs was perhaps the time when she took the most risks. This outfit was made of silver suspenders, a jeweled skirt, and really not much else.
