It may be autumn, but these celebrities were in no mood to layer up as they stepped out at the annual Los Angeles County Museum of Art Gala.From very cheeky displays to completely sheer looks, the 'naked dress' was reimagined by several stars at the LACMA on Saturday night.Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Iris Law flashed their bottoms in their show-stopping gowns as they joined the likes of Sienna Miller and Anya Taylor-Joy at the occasion.Ms Huntington-Whiteley, 39, wore a high-necked, backless black gown which featured a daringly high split along the back – revealing a risqué glimpse of her behind.Celebrity stylist Lisa Talbot told the Daily Mail: 'I really like this. It's a great example of how you can show skin without losing elegance. 'The high neckline and long sleeves balance out the dramatic open back, while the thigh-high split adds a little extra drama. I think the simplicity is what makes this work. It doesn't need anything else.'The supermodel, who returned to the Victoria's Secret runway this year after a 16-year absence, looked incredible in the Gucci gown, which she paired with black stilettos and silver earrings.Also flaunting her figure was Ms Law, 26, who opted for a sheer Amaraxmara dress adorned with squared silver sequins. Victoria's Secret veteran Rosie Huntington-Whiteley left little to the imagination in a cheeky backless gown as she stepped out at the annual Los Angeles County Museum of Art Gala Iris Law, who is the daughter of actor Jude Law, stunned in a racy silver chainmail gown that touched the floor Emily Ratajkowski, 35, made hearts race in a sexy white cutout gown that featured a daring thigh-high slit up one legWhile the gown featured a modesty panel on the front, her tiny silver G-string was on display from the back.Lisa warned: 'Sheer dressing can be quite difficult to get right. It's important to think about what's underneath and how much is being revealed. There is a fine line between looking beautifully dressed and feeling a little overexposed.'Elsewhere, Emily Ratajkowski, 35, made hearts race in a sexy white cutout gown that featured a daring thigh-high slit up one leg. But for stylist Lisa, the dress had 'too many competing details'. 'The twisted neckline, side cut-out and high split are all fighting for attention. I'd have preferred a little more simplicity to let the draping and shape of the dress stand out.'She added: 'I like the softness of the white fabric and the draping across the front. It feels fresh and has a lovely fluidity to it.'Victoria's Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel, 38, who has been linked to NFL hunk Tom Brady, also opted for a nearly naked dress, sporting a silver fringe gown that showed off her endless legs. However, Lisa explained: 'I love the silver and the sparkle, and the asymmetric neckline is a lovely detail. But I think there is a little too much going on here. 'We have the plunging neckline, the high split, the sheer fabric and the all-over embellishment. Sometimes you need to take one element away to allow the others to have their moment. I'd have liked to see a little more restraint.' Sofia Vergara delivered bombshell glamour in a busty black lace gown that hugged her curvaceous figure Alix Earle, 25, put on a show-stopping display in a low-cut silver fringe gown Model Amber Valletta stunned in a risqué black frock for the annual occasion Victoria's Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel, 38, looked ethereal in a silver fringe gown that showed off her endless legsOther stars who left little to the imagination included Alix Earle, 25, who put on a show-stopping display in a low-cut silver gown, which also featured a daring side slit. The dress was similar to model Amber Valletta's risqué black frock. Lisa said of Amber's: 'This is probably one of my favourites. It's simple, elegant and makes a statement without trying too hard. 'The open back and high split give it a sexy, modern feel, but the overall silhouette remains clean and sophisticated. It's a good reminder that you don't need lots of detail or embellishment to make an impact. The cut and fit do all the talking.'However, Alix's look wasn't as impressive, claimed the fashion expert, adding: 'It's a very pretty look, but I think with such a sheer dress, the fit and structure are really important. 'I'd have liked to see a little more definition in the silhouette, perhaps through more considered lining or coverage, to give it a more polished finish.'Meanwhile, Sofia Vergara delivered bombshell glamour in a busty sheer black lace gown that hugged her curvaceous figure. The Modern Family star, 54, wore her go-to voluminous curls and kept her makeup sun-kissed and smoky. Stella Maxwell, 36, stunned in a romantic off-the-shoulder white gown and waist-length blonde hair Jordyn Woods, 29, sizzled in a skintight brown lace dress that highlighted her enviable hourglass shapeCelebrity stylist Lisa said: 'The most successful naked dresses are the ones where the woman is clearly in control of the look. Where it can go wrong is when the dress becomes the entire story.'She added: 'I think there is a real difference between wearing a revealing dress and wearing a well-styled revealing dress. Showing skin can look incredibly stylish, modern and confident, but it's all about balance, proportion and how the dress works with the body. 'I'm certainly not against showing skin; in fact, it can look incredibly stylish and empowering. But you need to think about the overall outfit rather than just individual features.'If you're wearing a very low neckline, do you also need a high split and cut-outs? Sometimes the most effective looks are the ones where you hold a little something back.'For me, good styling is about knowing what to emphasise and, just as importantly, what to leave out. It's not always about wearing more or showing more; it's about getting the proportions and details right.'LACMA's 15th annual Art+Film Gala welcomed 'friends and supporters from the art, film, fashion, and entertainment industries' to celebrate the achievements of artist Vija Celmins and acclaimed Dune director Denis Villeneuve, as per the official website.Proceeds from the gala go towards funding the museum's initiative to 'make film more central to its curatorial programming'.Oscar-winner Leonardo DiCaprio and LACMA trustee Eva Chow served as co-chairs on the gala.
