Ladies were risking wardrobe malfunctions left and right at Cannes 2018! While only Miley Cyrus and Zoë Kravitz bared skin at the recently concluded 2018 Met Gala, which might have been partly due to the event’s Catholic theme, we saw tons of flesh on the red carpet at Cannes.

Scroll through to see the ten most revealing dresses at the film festival. If you want to learn how they did it, check out these red carpet fashion secrets!

1. Irina Shayk’s Red Versace Gown: Bold Chains and Scandalous Slits

Irina Shayk flashed pelvage and very nearly her nether bits in a red-hot Atelier Versace dress that was slashed and chained at the hips, waist, and shoulders.

The 32-year-old model wore matching red-and-gold ball earrings, a heart-adorned gold wrap bracelet, and gold barrettes in her brown hair. She finished off with a gold pair of Versace ankle-strap sandals also worn by Kim Kardashian and Penelope Cruz.

2. Chantel Jeffries Dazzles in a Silver, Strappy Gown That Left Little to the Imagination

Social media star Chantel Jeffries got photographers snapping away in a boob-and-stomach-baring silver gown from Australian clothing brand Lexi.

Held together only by prayers and a ring at the belly button, the Grecian-inspired pleated dress also exposed more of Chantel’s nude underwear through the sheer panels on the split-front skirt.

It’s Chantel Jeffries again in a sheer, white lace-and-mesh dress that showcased the DJ’s cleavage and her underwear-free state underneath. Going matchy-matchy again, she paired her daring dress with strappy, white leg-tie sandals.

4. Lea Seydoux Wows in a Custom Louis Vuitton Sheer Gown

Lea Seydoux bared her butt cheeks and white bodysuit in a sheer custom Louis Vuitton sequined gown. Possibly the most modest on this naked dress list, the French actress rounded out her relatively covered-up look with eye-catching silver leaf earrings and silver Louis Vuitton ankle-strap sandals.

5. Tallia Storm’s Sheer Floral Gown by Marco & Maria: A Near Wardrobe Malfunction

Tallia Storm could have been princess-y in her frothy Marco & Maria floral embroidered gown had it not been for the completely see-through bodice. The British singer was one wrong body twist away from flashing her nipples in the gown’s sheer top with strategically placed embellishments.

6. Tallia Storm Embraces Risqué Black Lace in Jean-Paul Benielli Couture

Tallia Storm tried again in a black lace gown by Jean-Paul Benielli Couture that was web-like in construction. She paired her second naked dress with Saint Laurent “Opium” pumps previously spotted on Kelly Osbourne.

7. Tallia Storm’s Sheer Black Robe Gown: A Daring Kimono-Inspired Look

It’s like Tallia’s goal was to get more and more naked at each of her Cannes photo ops.

Her third try was a completely sheer, black robe gown with kimono sleeves that exposed the nipple tape and nude underwear she had on underneath.

8. Nieves Alvarez Stuns in Sheer Embellished Elie Saab Gown

Like many of the previous celebrities, Nieves Alvarez exposed nude underwear in her Elie Saab Fall 2016 Couture gown. The Spanish model also exposed skin-colored nipple pasties through the sheer bodice with bird and sequined embellishments that were not placed strategically enough.

Rene Caovilla crystal-snake leg-coil sandals that retail for $1,295 completed her ensemble.

9. Victoria Bonya’s High-Slit Lace Gown by Maison Esthere Maryline

To avoid stepping on her Maison Esthere Maryline gown with her gold Christian Louboutin pumps, Victoria Bonya had to lift the skirt of her dress high.

Unfortunately, the Russian TV presenter showed more than she intended upon doing so and flashed the cameras her skin-tone underwear.
