How NOT to wear a naked dress: Daring scraps of leather and see-through slips sweep red carpets - but who flashed a little too much flesh?

Autumn may be around the corner, but celebrities at the Venice Film Festival were in no mood to layer up. From completely sheer looks to thigh-skimming gowns that risked a wardrobe malfunction, the 'naked dress' was reimagined by several stars on the opening night of the prestigious festival. Supermodel Stella Maxwell turned heads in a dramatic black lace ensemble, complete with a matching bustier and underwear artfully peeking through. American actress and comedian Mary Beth Barone ditched the bra and opted for a racy slip dress that left little to the imagination, much like Italian influencer Francesca Busi's nude ensemble. The cast of The Gentlemen followed suit at the premiere in London as Maya Jama, who makes her acting debut in the hit Netflix show, showed off her curves in a daringly cut leather gown. While the Love Island presenter's performance in Guy Ritchie's critically acclaimed action-comedy has won praise, her dress was sure to divide opinion. Celebrity stylist Lisa Talbot told the Daily Mail: '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.' So, which of these outfits were the right fit for the red carpet – and which ones missed the mark?

Lisa told the Daily Mail: 'If you're wearing something incredibly sheer simply for shock value, rather than because it reflects your personality or the image you want to project, it can quickly feel more attention-seeking than stylish.'Madisin Rian American model Madisin Rian picked a sequinned Giorgio Armani Prive gownAmerican model and influencer Madisin Rian, who became the face of Armani beauty in 2018, sashayed down the red carpet last night in a halterneck backless gown from Giorgio Armani Prive that hugged her curves.Kaya Scodelario The flowing black skirt of Kaya's gown featured a sheer panel that showed off her legs as the British actress joined the cast of the show at Guildhall in LondonThe Gentlemen star Kaya Scodelario, 34, channelled her impeccably styled character Susie as she dazzled in diamonds while dressed in a custom Paolo Sebastian corset gown.The flowing black skirt featured a sheer panel that showed off her legs as the British actress joined the cast of the show at Guildhall in London.
