In 2023, some of the most scandalous outfits ever in Hollywood hit the red carpet (and our Instagram feeds), with A-listers baring their bodies in new and inventive ways.

After COVID, the red carpet remained largely tame. But this year, stars stepped out in public almost nude, embracing their most undressed and out-of-the-box outfits.

From Kendall Jenner wearing nothing but flower pasties to Euphoria star Hunter Schafer stepping out in only a single white feather, stars shocked in these crazy looks.

FEMAIL rounded up the most memorable naked dresses, wardrobe malfunctions, and completely see-through plastic skirts of 2023.

New York City It girl Julia Fox tops the list of 2023’s most scandalous outfits in not one but three outlandish clear dresses. She’s pictured at Cannes in May 2023

I can see clearly now: Julia Fox in Nicolas Jebran

Unsurprisingly, New York City It girl Julia Fox tops the list in not just one but three truly experimental and edgy ensembles.

Kanye West‘s ex hit the Cannes Film Festival in three shocking see-through plastic looks.

The Down the Drain memoirist stunned in a body-baring glass-like corset top paired with a diaper-esque skirt (seen above).

Julia also attended The Idol premiere at Cannes in a dramatic, caped, semi-sheer plastic gown from designer Nicolas Jebran with white makeup and gothic dark blue lipstick.

To top it all off, Julia appeared in a clownish sheer dress at the after-party and freed the nipple yet again.

The daring cellophane two-piece skirt set was completed with white pom poms on the front.

She had a matching one atop her lavender beanie.

Julia is known for her avant-garde outfits, whether she’s wearing belts as shirts and skirts or toting a body bag instead of a purse.

He’s still bejeweled: Lil Nas X in Pat McGrath

Lil Nas X, 24, attended the Met in one of the most unbelievable looks of the year, wearing only a thong and silver body paint, along with pearls and crystals to transform him into a cat.

The Old Town Road rapper paid tribute to Karl Lagerfeld’s beloved pet Choupette by becoming feline with help from legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath.

The bonkers beauty look included more than 5,000 crystals and took more than 10 hours to complete.

Go bananas: Heidi Klum in Zuhair Murad

Heidi Klum, 50, suffered a wardrobe malfunction when she hit a screening of the French film La Passion De Dodin Bouffant in a bright yellow underboob-baring banana number at Cannes.

The German supermodel inadvertently freed the nipple when she showed off her dramatic crystal-embellished cape and the crisscrossed cutouts on her Zuhair Murad gown slipped up.

Light as a feather: Hunter Schafer in Demeulemeester

Euphoria star Hunter Schafer didn’t attend the ceremony, but she did make headlines at the Vanity Fair Oscar party by wearing a feather as a bra

Euphoria star Hunter Schafer topped DailyMail.com’sst dressed list in only a feather at the Vanity Fair’s annual star-studded Oscar party.

The trans The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds And Snakes actress put her abs on display in a low-rise white silk skirt from Demeulemeester with only a single white feather covering her nipples.

Demeulemeester is known for avant-garde designs, including this barely-there white silk set.

Paint the town red: Doja Cat in Schiaparelli

Doja Cat is famous for her outlandish ensembles, including the red crystal get-up she wore to Paris Fashion Week and the shredded fishnet dress she donned for the VMAs

Doja Cat, 28, is infamous for experimenting with her style, whether she’s nearly nude or painting the town red at fashion week.

The songstress attended the Spring 2023 Schiaparelli couture show in Paris covered in a whopping 30,000 crystals while painted completely red.

The Woman hitmaker wore a corset and intricately beaded skirt to match the dazzling body gems.

Doja’s MTV Video Music Awards outfit was equally shocking, as the pop star went nearly naked in only a spiderweb-like white dress and face crystals.

Pretty in pasties: Kendall Jenner in David Koma

Life in latex: Sam Smith in Harri

Sam Smith’s inflatable outfit took four days to make and was inspired by life through a dog’s eyes, according to the buzzy British designer

Sam Smith, 31, attended the Brit Awards this February in a jaw-dropping black latex suit with dramatic oversize shoulder pads and ballooning pantaloons with platform boots.

The Unholy singer, who uses they/them pronouns after coming out as nonbinary in 2019, supported the London-based fashion label Harri in the dramatic dominatrix-esque ensemble.

Harikrishnan Keezhathil Surendran Pillai is at the helm of the label, which famously pushes boundaries with latex looks.

The inflatable outfit took four days to make  and was inspired by how the designer’s dog saw people.

Harikrishnan told Good Morning Britain it was inspired by how his dog saw him ‘from such a small, short angle,’ like a ‘distorted body image.’

Come on Barbie: Dua Lipa in Bottega Veneta

Dua Lipa stunned on the red carpet of the Barbie premiere in Los Angeles in a sexy silver chainmail gown that left little to the imagination

In July, Dua Lipa, 28, celebrated the premiere of Barbie in Los Angeles while wearing a silver chainmail dress that left little to the imagination.

The pop star, who played a mermaid in Greta Gerwig’s hit film, paired the sultry silver Bottega Veneta dress with Tiffany & Co. diamonds for a bit of bling.

The Houdini songstress is famous for her wild itty bitty looks, whether she’s wearing a see-through SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon embellished dress or showing off her enviable swimwear collection on Instagram.

Leveled up: Ciara in Dundas

Ciara hit back at haters who disliked her naked dress at the Vanity Fair Oscar party with a playful TikTok

Ciara, 38, attended the Vanity Fair Oscar after party in a fishnet halter dress from the brand Dundas, with only an itty bitty black thong on underneath.

The Level Up singer paired the glittering gown with gloves and diamond earrings.

While the mom of three loved the dress, some fans did not.

Ciara responded to the backlash she received on social media on TikTok by wearing a white sheet and captioning the video, ‘POV: How I’m pulling up to Vanity Fair next year.’

Butt-baring black leather: Bebe Rexha in Uncommonist

Bebe Rexha bared her bum in a black leather dress with cut-outs and a horse’s tail

While 2023 seemed to be the year every single female celebrity freed the nipple, Bebe Rexha, 34, opted for a butt-baring little black leather dress at the VMAs with a silky horse tail between her bums.

The anonymous designer Uncommonist created the chaps-like look with a Madonna-inspired bustier for the I’m A Mess singer.

Julia Fox and Rita Ora are also fans of the London-based dominatrix-inspired horse girl outfits.

Spike it: Rita Ora in Primark

‘Did someone say chrome spine?’ Rita Ora asked her Instagram followers, before explaining the spine took three or two hours to apply

Rita Ora, 33, is famous for her sexy, jaw-dropping outfits, but her spiked back just might take the cake this year.

Shockingly, the sultry pop star wore her most conservative little black dress with an unexpectedly animalistic accessory.

Rita attended the British Fashion Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in London with elaborate silver spikes running down her back that appeared to be coming out of her skin.

Rita paired the dramatic, dragon-like prosthetic spine that took about three hours to apply with a classic Primark LBD.

Her Instagram followers adored the wild style, dubbing her Ritazilla and Godz-ora.

 

Eye-catching accessory: Madonna wears Mugler with a phallic brooch

Madonna looked younger than ever when she appeared as a presenter at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Pictured is her phallic brooch

Madonna toted her riding crop onstage with her when she appeared at the Grammys

Unsurprisingly, Madonna made the list, although it wasn’t because of her Mugler outfit.

Madge ditched her customary super sexy black bustier for the evening and went with a more conservative suit and tie.

Instead, it was the Material Girl singer’s outlandish Grammy accessories that landed her on this list, including a riding crop and NSFW phallic pin.

Madonna does often wear tiny 24-carat gold vibrators as necklaces, so it makes sense she’d add a little dose of sex via jewelry to her otherwise traditional outfit.

No material girl: Lourdes Leon in Natalia Fedner

Lourdes Leon, who makes music as Lolahol, hit the Victoria’s Secret pink carpet in an intricate mesh minidress with only black underwear underneath

Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon, who makes music as Lolahol, is quite literally following in her mother’s fashionable footsteps.

Lourdes, 27, made her parentage extra apparent in a naked mesh metal dress on the Victoria’s Secret fashion show red carpet.

The barely-there dress was created by chainmail designer Natalia Fedner, who has designed similarly sexy styles for Doja Cat, Shakira, Kylie Jenner, Beyoncé, and Megan Thee Stallion.

Low-rise in leather: Irina Shayk in Mowalola

Irina Shayk bared her abs in an edgy black and red leather skirt set from British designer Mowalola

Irina Shayk, 37, bared her envy-inducing abs in a black leather low-rise skirt at Cannes for the premiere of Firebrand.

The Cannes regular wore a black and red leather crisscross teeny tiny bra in an X paired with a matching maxi skirt.

Both pieces were from the Nigerian-born fashion designer Mowalola Ogunlesi’s London-based brand Mowalola, known for its edgy leather and PVC outfits.

‘What is expected at Cannes is beautiful and elegant gowns, and I wanted to have a little bit of fun with that,’ the supermodel told CNN Style.

All of these stars certainly had a bit of fun with fashion this year and are likely to be even more undressed and envelope pushing in 2024.
