“Beauty,” they say, “is in the eyes of the beholder”. Though people have different fashion tastes, one thing anyone can easily identify without mistakes is a scantily-clad woman.

The pictures taken in May 2012 show Micaela Schaefer as she walked the red carpet during Will Smith’s “Men In Black 3” premiere. She’s a German nude model, TV presenter and actress.
Schaefer was crowned Miss East Germany 2004, Miss Venus 2005, The Face Of Campari 2005 and Miss Maxim 2006.
The 33-year-old beauty is used to putting on pants and bra. She can also take a walk on the streets with just body paints, so this red carpet outfit was considered as one of her modest fashion styles.
Rihanna also went the way of Schaefer at the CFDA Fashion Awards in 2014.
The Barbadian singer made a “bra-less” choice that will forever be remembered in the world of fashion.
Riri stunned everyone when she turned up at the CFDA event wearing a shimmery lace gown. Her see-through dress left nothing to the imagination but we were happy she won the 2014 Fashion Icon Award.
In truth, a real bad gal met the modern day Hollywood on that day.
However repulsed we may feel about those celebrities who walk half-naked on the red carpet, baring their most prized assets at any given chance, we must understand that fashion is constantly evolving.
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right, I believe, has been misinterpreted by individuals as well as the laws in some countries.
Nonetheless, in the light of threats from a seemingly unavoidable WW3, radiation, pollution, and this unnecessary debate on everything that has gone wrong with the world, wouldn’t it be right for us to go back to the stone age?
The campaign for “real freedom” may have started with some of these provocative fashion styles.
Rose McGowan mesmerized the crowd at MTV’s 1998 Video Music Awards with her semi-nude outfit. She was seen with Marilyn Manson.
In a chat with reporters at the event, Rose laughed over her fashion style which critics described as highly provocative.
Rose said she thought her dress would be funny, adding that she never planned to put her body on display.
She claimed her request from the designer was to have something “provocative at the back”.
Unfortunately, she received the dress only a few hours before the VMA’s and had no choice but to use it. She later described that decision as “punk AF”.
Adrienne Bailon suffered wardrobe malfunction in 2012, too.
Bailon, an ex-girlfriend of Rob Kardashian attended the Escape To Total Awards Event in New York where she revealed her treasure island “unknowingly”.
Thankfully, she remembered to cover up somehow.
The 33-year-old former member of “Cheetah Girls” later admitted to Celebuzz that she didn’t wear any undergarments.
“If I could come out naked, I would,” she told Celebuzz. “This is just some fancy stuff to throw over my little naked body.
“The wind blew and despite what other girls may do, this is really a terrible accident to me,” Bailon told Russell Simmons, trying to cover up the rumor that she deliberately flashed her crotch at a public event.
“I’m really upset, but I’m even more upset about what my parents might think. I want to be known for my talent. I love the idea of being sexy, but I’ve never been in this business to sell sex, I’ve been in this business to sell my talent.
“The truth is, when you look at the pictures, you don’t realize that the wind really did blow my dress, and I don’t really know what else to say about it.”
Adrienne Bailon rose to fame in 2000, after being discovered by pop star Ricky Martin, who included her in the all girls group 3LW.
