No matter the location or weather conditions, it’s never winter on the red carpet. For decades, we’ve been accustomed to seeing stars, from A to Z list, braving the elements and baring their bodies for the cameras, knowing they will be headline news within minutes of stepping out of their limo towards a sea of eager flashbulbs and fans. Elizabeth Hurley , Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez are three of the most memorable examples from decades past, but in 2025, a thigh-high slit, navel-grazing neckline or a few strategically-placed pins seems positively tame.
Instead, next-gen stars are sashaying into some of the showbiz’s most prestigious events practically naked. Of course, Bianca Censori took this brief and ran with it at the 2025 Grammys, sporting her now-notorious nude look alongside husband Kanye West . But she’s not the only one: she’s just the most extreme example.
For the past few months, countless other celebs have been going for the barely-there look too: Julia Fox ’s seemingly nipple-freeing top (it was actually a custom breastplate) at NYFW is the most striking in a long line of outrageous outfits from the eternally body-confident actress. As she once told Nylon , “I always have to look in the mirror and be like, ‘Do I look badass?’ And if the answer is no, then I have to change.” Chrissy Teigen , too, is a long-term lover of less is more.
When she appeared to be pantless at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony, fashion critics were unsure .
