It's happened to us all: you have a big event, but nothing to wear! What's a girl to do?
That's when celebrities turn to the naked dress. Because seriously, if you have nothing to wear, you might as well wear nothing at all.
And today, we celebrate these see-through forces of nature. Here are 21 of our favorite, most incredibly NSFW naked dresses, ranked by how scandalous they are. Who do you think will be #1?
Kylie Jenner
I know; I expected her to place higher, too! But the truth is, unlike her sisters, Kylizzle doesn't seem to like naked dresses on the red carpet, preferring bikinis on Snapchat instead.
Katy Perry
This is like a figure skating club dress, and I'm INTO IT.
Gwen Stefani
WHEN BAD STYLING HAPPENS TO GOOD PEOPLE. Wild West funeral up top, leg lamp down below.
Kendall Jenner
This dress is not only naked, it's covered in snakes. Ten points to Slytherin.
Dascha Polanco
Ok, I know that this is technically a bodysuit — but it's still SO naked, I'm obsessed with it.
Jennifer Lopez
This is the sheer green dress that, many say, kicked off our modern obsession with the naked dress. She may not have done it first, but dammit, J.Lo did it best.
Kim Kardashian
Annnnnnd she's back, this time looking like the sexiest feather duster of all time.
Gigi Hadid
If Scarlett O'Hara got a hold of your great-aunt's shower curtains and had a MIGHTY NEED to show off her pelvis.
Erin Wasson
This dress has broken me. I can't even describe it in real sentences; it's all MORTICIA ADDAMS SEXY GYM FETISH BOOB STRIPE.
Jennifer Lopez
Never change, you beautiful naked angel.
Kim Kardashian
Is this even technically considered clothing??? Like, seriously. If I walked into a Sizzler wearing this exact outfit, would I be told to put a damn shirt on? I feel like the answer is yes!
Ciara
Truly, this is a miracle of modern engineering. And double-sided tape.
Toni Braxton
Toni Braxton's boob-mummy dress: a true classic of the naked dress form.
Bella Hadid
This makes me sweaty just looking at it. One unexpected gust of wind, and the world is your gynecologist.
Jennifer Lopez, again.
J.Lo has by far the most entries in the naked dress Hall of Fame, and honestly, if I looked as good as she does, I'd be wandering around in a bikini made of dental floss, too. This red gown is straight fire.
Irina Shayk
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS.
Amber Rose
This is very Balmain goes to Rio, and I am HERE for it. Love u, Amber.
Rihanna
Sometimes life gives you lemons. And then some other times, life gives you an immaculate green lace dress from Gucci, which you rip the lining out of and wear like TITS AHOY, because you're Rihanna, and you can totally do that.
Beyonce
Because when the queen decides to wear a naked dress, she wears a goddamned NAKED. DRESS. #supreme
Rose McGowan
Where were you when Rose McGowan, known back in the day as "Marilyn Manson's girlfriend" showed up to the MTV Awards in bedazzled fishnet and strategically-placed string? Iconic '90s fashion moment right here.
Rihanna
Who else could possibly be number one? Nobody but Bad Gal Riri at the CFDA Awards, of course. All that anyone wants in life is to be naked and covered in sparkles, looking like a Jazz age queen, and Rihanna has managed all of it. Praise!
