THE EVOLUTION OF THE 'NAKED DRESS'


When Amber Rose stepped out in her chainlink Laurel DeWitt number at last night's MTV Video Music Awards, she joined the ranks of "naked dress"-wearing celebrities. It's a very particular group of women wearing dresses not just to show off one of their assets (J.Lo's plunging cleavage in that green gown at the 2000 Grammys? Child's play...) but all of their bodies at once. Here, we celebrate some of the world's most fearless female celebs in all their body-baring glory. (WARNING: NSFW!)
Marilyn Monroe at the White House in 1962

The original wearer of the naked dress? Marilyn Monroe. She was known for wearing dresses that made you wonder "am I seeing something I'm not supposed to see?" on several occasions, most notably in Some Like It Hot and when singing Happy Birthday to President Kennedy in 1962.
