Whether you're dressing up for a red carpet or just going out for brunch, daring to bare is often the name of the game for celebrities. Apparently, if you're famous, there's nothing unusual about rocking a bralette with a blazer or wearing sheer skirts with thongs (and going commando is a real option, too). It's hard not to admire all the ways that stars, and their stylists, have perfected the lingerie-as-outerwear look. To celebrate this bold, sexy attire—and provide some outfit inspiration if you're feeling daring—we rounded up 52 of our favorite celebrities in their best dare-to-bare ensembles. Enjoy.
Sofia Richie
Kourtney Kardashian and Sofia Richie might have more in common than you think, at least in the style department. Richie wore the bra under a blazer look, paired with ROLLA's blue jeans and heels, while attending a Kate Somerville event.
Bella Hadid
Scroll through street style pics of Bella Hadid and you'll see numerous instances of the model wearing some form of lingerie as clothing. Exhibit A: Hadid paired a white bustier with high-waisted jeans and and an over-sized anorak while trotting around Paris.
Rihanna
Rihanna's wardrobe is so badass that you almost don't notice she's not wearing real clothes. Here, the singer’s floor-length coat, printed hat, and frayed denim almost disguised the fact that her top is actually a bra.
Kim Kardashian West
It shouldn't come as a surprise that Kim K—who has joked about "being naked most of the time"—is a multiple offender in the lingerie-as-clothes department. In 2016, she stepped out in New York City wearing a black bra, an open blazer, and velvet leggings.
Kendall Jenner
In 2018, Kendall Jenner breezed through New York City wearing a silky chemise and jeans—a combo she relies on time and time again. Conjure up an image of Kendall Jenner in your mind and you’re likely to picture the model like so.
Halsey
Halsey isn’t one to shy away from super-bold red carpet looks. The singer wore this bra-and-skirt combo with over-the-knee gladiator sandals to the 2017 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Khloe Kardashian
Khloe Kardashian arrived at the Good American launch event in Los Angeles wearing a lacy bodysuit with light-wash jeans. Fun fact: Khloe’s wax figure at Madame Tussauds Los Angeles is dressed in this look!
Iggy Azaelea
Iggy Azalea gave off major Sporty Spice vibes at the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards with a blue bra, baggy denim, and platform sneakers.
Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner—alongside her army of body guards—made her way to the Jimmy Kimmel Live! set in 2016 wearing a black skirt and mustard-yellow silk camisole as a shirt.
LeAnn Rimes
The country singer opted for blue lingerie and a matching, sheer blouse for her 2018 performance at The Abbey in West Hollywood, California.
