5 other revealing outfits worn by celebrities

American actress Jennifer Lawrence on Wednesday (Feb 21) hit back at critics after a photo of her wearing a black gown with a plunging neckline drew extreme reactions. Many commentators focused on the fact that she wore the revealing outfit in cold weather at the Red Sparrow movie promo, while her fellow male actors were bundled up in winter wear.


British news portal Daily Mail noted that Lawrence's figure-hugging dress has "a near-identical shape" to the famous gown worn by British actress Elizabeth Hurley to a Los Angeles party in 1994.

Here are five other famous revealing outfits worn by celebrities:

1. Jennifer Lopez's Versace dress at the 2000 Grammy
AwardsPossibly one of the most memorable dresses worn on the Grammy red carpet, singer and actress Jennifer Lopez generated headlines in 2000 when she appeared in a sheer, low-cut silk chiffon Versace dress. The green tropical-print gown had a low neckline that extended well past her navel, with a high slit in the front as well.

2. Rihanna's almost-naked outfit at the 2014 CFDA Fashion Awards
Barbadian pop star Rihanna is no stranger to dressing in revealing outfits, but her now infamous sheer outfit by Adam Selman at the CFDA Fashion Awards in 2014 became the talk of the town. Her gown, which left little to one's imagination, was created using 230,000 Swarovski crystals.

3. Beyonce's Givenchy dress at the 2015 Met Gala
R&B queen Beyonce's see-through Givenchy outfit caused quite a stir at the Met Gala 2015, which was no mean feat in an event that saw many other celebrities in head-turning outfits.

4. Kim Kardashian West's metallic number at Paris Fashion Week 2016
Reality television star Kim Kardashian West has worn plenty of revealing outfits but the Balmain dress she wore at the 2016 Paris Fashion Week remains one of her most memorable dresses. Her metallic grey, loosely-knit halter dress barely covered her body, with only a thin nude lining at the chest.

5. Angelina Jolie's black Versace gown at the 2012 Oscars
