The Most Daring Nearly Nude Red Carpet Looks by Celebrities Throughout Time
Forget about peekaboo cutouts and thigh-high slits — celebrities are embracing the art of skin-baring on the red carpet.
Donning outfits adorned with skillfully placed floral appliqués, strategic lace accents, or simply choosing to go braless has become a trend over the years. Take Rihanna as an illustration.
