The 12 Most Memorable "Naked Dresses" In Grammys History

In 2011, a 22-year-old Rihanna won the Grammy for Best Dance Recording for “Only Girl (In The World).” That night, she also made it onto plenty of best-dressed lists in a sheer, haute couture look from Jean Paul Gaultier. The off-the-shoulder gown featured stripes of see-through fabric. It was the first of many iconic ruffled looks from the singer.

At the 56th Grammy Awards, Beyoncé gave fans an infamously explicit performance of “Drunk in Love” alongside husband Jay Z. She also came to impress in a lacy red carpet look. The high-neck mermaid gown had a sheer base with sections of strategically-placed white lace. It was custom designed for the singer by Project Runway alum Michael Costello.

Dua Lipa was levitating at the 2021 Grammys, where she won Best Pop Vocal Album for Future Nostalgia and dazzled in a bejeweled gown from Versace. The custom pink mesh gown featured a sparkling, butterfly-inspired bustier top, cutouts over the hips, and a thigh-high slit. Versace heels and jewels from Bulgari, ANANYA, and Spinelli Kilcollin completed the look.

In 2023, Maren Morris seemingly took inspo from iconic Grammy ‘fits of yore, sporting a plunging neckline silhouette similar to Jennifer Lopez’s iconic green Versace gown. The country singer’s sheer, metallic gray gown was designed by Off-White.

GAYLE brought a gothic twist to the naked dressing trend at the 2023 Grammys. The “abcdefu” singer wore a sheer black lace slip dress, which showed off her black undies and star-shaped pasties. She paired the look with black platform pumps. A collar and chain necklace added an edgy finish.

Miley Cyrus had quite the night at the 66th Grammy Awards, taking home her first ever golden gramophone for Best Pop Solo Performance for “Flowers.” Over the course of the night, she wore a grand total of five show-stopping looks. Her nakedest was a metallic creation by Maison Margiela. The armor-inspired minidress was crafted entirely from gold safety pins, strategically arranged to serve as nipple covers and a skirt. Yellow stiletto Mary Jane Tabis finished off her look.

Doja Cat served one of her most daring styles to date at the 2024 Grammys. The “Paint The Town Red” singer wore a sheer corset gown from Dilara Findikoglu that revealed peeks of her skin. Narrow Prada glasses, red Alexander Wang pumps, and a collection of diamond jewelry completed her edgy ensemble.

In 2024, Halle Bailey was fresh off her role in Disney’s live-action The Little Mermaid. For the Grammys red carpet, she brought the princess energy in royalty-worthy jewels and a sheer Gucci gown with a plunging neckline. The custom dress was encrusted in crystals, revealing a peak of her nude briefs. Custom jewelry from Pandora added even more sparkle.

Naked dressing does not always require a less-is-more attitude. At the 2025 ceremony, Chrissy Teigen brought sheer drama in a maximalist Christian Siriano look. From the designer’s spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection, the see-through dress featured black boning, a structural neckline, and a voluminous skirt.

Madison Beer brought mermaidcore to the 2025 Grammys red carpet, wearing a see-through gown from Miss Sohee’s spring 2025 couture collection. The sheer corset dress featured iridescent beading, which covered the cups, hips, and train.

Paris Hilton looked like a golden goddess at the 2025 awards. The artist and advocate wore a diaphanous Chrome Hearts gown, featuring metallic embroidery and a plunging neckline. She accessorized the dress with bejeweled, elbow-length gloves and aviator shades.

The nakedest Grammys look of all time is obvious: Bianca Censori’s 2025 “invisible dress.” Designed by her husband Kanye West’s label Yeezy, Censori’s completely sheer mini was as simple and sheer as it gets. A plain pair of heeled sandals finished off the straightforward ‘fit.
