Talk About Barely There! 16 Celebs Who Dress NEARLY Nude

Dressing nearly nude can mean two different things. It can mean wearing an ensemble encrusted with priceless and hand-sewn jewels and gems that offers the illusion of nakedness, thanks to a sheer underlay ... or it means dressing with so little fabric that one appears nude and with her assets on full display.

Whatever the case, both styles of supremely sultry dressing are suggestive and sexy, and they are an embedded part of the celeb style and red carpet playbook. Rihanna once wore a sheer dress that made her seem naked — seriously, it was like a "naked dress." Kim Kardashian barely and rarely covers up. Britney Spears and Mariah Carey often do the nude bodysuit thing, since they are performers and this look is an integral part of their stage costumes and attire.

Nude fashion — it's fairly common.

While conservatives and prudes may ask, "Why wear any clothes at all?" when celebs get super sexy and nude — like with their ensembles, we won't go that far. Ease up! The fashion intelligentsia and fans find this trend to be appealing, enticing, and hotter than freshly-flowing lava.

So feast your eyes on celebs who dress nearly nude via either of the aforementioned options. 

1. Beyonce

It looks like Beyonce's body was painted with jewels, doesn't it? You can see that sideboob and lots of skin. You know what? Bey probably sweats diamonds! Her body is a diamond mine.

2. Jessica Chastain

The ginger wore a dress that had a see-through construction at the 2012 Tonys.

3. Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian is often hanging out, but her Met Gala gown looked see through and offered a view of a bunch of skin in different, slightly-less-obvious-than-we're-used-to places.

4. Jennifer Lopez

Whoa! J. Lo isn't afraid to expose her sideboob and underboob, like so. That was barely a bodice on her gown. 

5. Britney Spears

Britney Spears often ditched her clothes during the height of her fame. These days, it's because she is performing. The pop singer ain't trying to win the MILF of the Year Award.

6. Kristen Stewart

Baby got back! The normally scowling actress wore nude gown that left nada to the imagination while promoting one of the Twilight movies. Check out that bootay! K. Stew got all cheeky.

7. Kristen Stewart ... Part Deux!

I see London, I see France. I see K. Stew's granny underpants! 

8. Jenna Jameson

Jenna Jameson is a former porn star, so of course she has a history of going nude in very public fashion, because duh. But when she did some nearly nude skin teasing via a dress, that was the unexpected part. Being covered up is the rarity for Double J. You can see the underboob and panties if you look closely.

9. Kesha

The pop singer's figure skater-like stage costume was all sorts of bejeweled and beautiful, but it gave off the nudish vibe, even with the fluorescent hair.

10. Katy Perry

Blue hair aside, Katy Perry's silvery, jewel encrusted dress appeared painted on. Like the Queen Bey, KP gave off the aura that she sweats precious gems. 

11. Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift doesn't show her belly button, but sideboob and underboob? That's fair game for T. Swizzle.

12. Amber Rose

The ex of both Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa wore a chain dress to the VMAs and it was very, very, very revealing. Too revealing, in fact. 

13. Halle Berry

Halle Berry has a rocking body, which she often shows off with revealing, clingy ensembles. Like so.

14. Rihanna

This is the nude dress. You can see pretty much everything. Ever-y-thing ... even areolas and undies.

15. Khloe Kardashian

A Kardashian sister showing off a lot of front sideboob andcleavage? It was like we caught Koko in her bathrobe.

The stage is Mimi's home and she often goes the jeweled bodysuit route. And she owns it.
