Celebrities are always wearing bold fashion, from sheer red-carpet looks to vibrant street outfits. But some stars have also talked about what it’s really like to wear them. Cardi B, for example, said she felt like a woman in a daring mesh dress she wore to the Met Gala.
Bella Hadid cemented herself as a style icon at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. But she later admitted that she was embarrassed by the red gown she wore there.
Her Alexandre Vauthier gown was sleeveless and backless with a plunging neckline. It also had a deep slit in its skirt that reached her hip. But as the model told Vogue during a 2021 interview, she felt “nervous” while wearing it — even if the look is now “apparently a very iconic red dress moment.”
Kendall Jenner, on the other hand, was “pretty chill” when asked to wear a see-through shirt during her first fashion show.
She wore a sheer, V-neck top on a Marc Jacobs runway in 2014. The model also donned brown trousers, matching tights, and ankle boots. Jenner reflected on the look while speaking with Vogue in 2022, saying she “actually could not believe” she was featured on the runway. Still, she said she wasn’t nervous.
The green Versace dress Jennifer Lopez wore in 2000 has become iconic. But it was the version she donned in 2019 that felt empowering, she said.
The famous gown she wore to the Grammy Awards in 2000 had a green leaf print and a neckline that plunged to her navel. It became so iconic that the dress helped inspire the launch of Google Images. Lopez then wore another version of the dress to close a 2019 Versace fashion show. “The second time I wore it and walked out there, it was such an empowering thing,” Lopez told Vanity Fair.
