In a bid to stand out on the red carpet, some famous faces will go to any lengths (or lack of them)!
The year is drawing to a close and as we look back at the memorable fashion statements of 2011, a few bold and beautiful women come to mind immediately -- you'll see exactly why in the following pages.
Here we present the most eye-popping, dare-to-bare outfits the red carpet has seen!
Malaika Arora Khan
It isn't just the Hollywood hotties who can give their fans an eyeful. Munni outdid herself in this showstopping number by designer Mandira Wirk during the Blender's Pride Fashion Tour -- even by her daring standards, the sheer bodice, backless detail and slit to the thigh were OTT!
The British glamour model and deejay had men passing out when she donned this risque red gown (sans any innerwear) for the UK premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 in London this month!
She's been Shayking things up in the fashion world all through 2011, but Russian stunner Irina's two most memorable red carpet outfits were this cut-away mini (worn to a New York movie premiere in May) and this ogle-worthy white gown for amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS Gala during the Cannes Film Festival.
Say it with us -- wow!
Another headline-grabbing ensemble from Cannes that made the headlines was worn by South African model Candice -- no wonder they say one picture's worth a thousand words!
The model-turned-actress has been shining at every event that matters -- whether it was in her magenta gown at the 'Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty' Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in May, or the see-through corset and pencil skirt she wore to a luxury mobile phone launch in Milan last month.
The spotlight-stealer at the Golden Globes this January was undoubedly actress January Jones, pouring her figure into a tasselled red cut-away outfit. Now that's what you call oomph!
Actress Nikki Reed also took the plunge at the International Rome Film Festival in October, showing off her assets in a white dress with Grecian undertones.
Less obviously means more to Sports Illustrated and Victoria's Secret model Anne Vyalitsyna, who generated a lot of buzz at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in February in her striking black number.
The reality star is only too happy to put her curves on display and that's just what she did for the 'it' event of the year -- the Grammy Awards. Her golden gown was quite the sizzler!
What's a list on daring designs without our very own Malli? She manages to top herself with each appearance and the KURIER ROMY Gala in Vienna this April was no exception -- she went the mysterious and sensual route in a black net and lace ensemble.
RiRi's wardrobe choices have had tongues wagging for awhile now, but she laughs off her critics and wears just what pleases her! Get a load of her peek-a-boo black outfit at the 'Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty' Costume Institute Gala in NY and the white ruffles which flashed a lot of flesh at the Grammys!
Not to be outdone, singer Ciara also attended the Grammys in a warrior queen-type design that showed off her toned and trim bod. When your slit's riding so high, we wonder how you manage to walk without flashing onlookers?
Gwyneth has never shied away from putting her athletic figure out there -- she made sure her star presence was acknowledged at Germany's Bambi Awards 2011 this month, in a sparkling green gown nearly dipping to her navel!
She taking 'revealing' to a whole new level -- there's no part of Lady G's anatomy we haven't seen! This Mugler design was one of the most memorable of 2011, mainly because she had a wardrobe malfunction in it -- hardly surprising!
When a supermodel wants to shine, there's no stopping her. German bombshell Heidi was quite the yummy mummy (of four, just so you remember!) at the Grammys in her beautiful golden pick.
Cheryl Cole decided to remind the world of her womanly charms at Cannes this year, where she dominated the premiere of Habemus Papam in revealing, ravishing white.
In a bid to ditch her goody-two-shoes TV persona, Glee star Lea showed us how to be sexy in classic black at the Grammys too!
Jen gave new meaning to the term 'fabulous forties' when she decided to give everyone an eyeful in her silver mini at Elle's Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute this October!
Can there really be two fab-past-40 Jennifers? Yes! JLo caused quite a stir in her striking black lace gown at the American Music Awards last week.
And finally, we come to Miley Cyrus, who wants to remind us that she's no longer a little girl -- there was no mistaking the message that this slinky dress put out at the pre-Grammys party in February!
