Forget peekaboo cutouts and thigh-high slits — celebs are all about showing some serious skin on the red carpet.

Wearing outfits with expertly placed floral appliqués, lace in just the right place, or deciding to simply free the nipple has been going on for years.

Take Rihanna, for example. The mom-to-be made a splash at the CFDA Fashion Awards in 2014 when she arrived in an Adam Selman sheer gown — sans a bra.

The stunning number featured 216,00 Swarovski crystals.

Naturally, she made headlines with her jaw-dropping look. While fans frequently hype up their favorite stars for being sexy, it sometimes draws out the haters.

Such was the case for Zoë Kravitz at the 2021 Met Gala. The actress wore a see-through Yves Saint Laurent gown made of mesh.

While she topped a handful of “best dressed” lists, some negative comments on social media got under her skin.

From Megan Fox’s barely-there Mugler gown from the 2021 VMAs to Lady Gaga’s underboob-baring ensemble at the 2017 Grammy Awards, keep scrolling to see the most scantily clad red carpet looks of all time.
