This week, we’ve featured Abbey Clancy and Jaimie Alexander in commando dresses that did not come with underwear included in the price. Are some things best left to the imagination, or do you like dresses that really test the limits of what is possible?
Gwyneth Paltrow’s Antonio Berardi gown now seems subtle in comparison. On the other hand, Micaela Schaefer pushed boundaries with artfully draped tape as a dress, while Melody Thornton appeared in what many considered one of 2012’s most daring red carpet looks.
Do you think wearing something so revealing on the red carpet is a do or a don’t? Are celebrities simply wearing commando dresses to get attention?
