Walking a red carpet usually involves shoving your poor, long-suffering feet into the world’s most uncomfortable pair of shoes, wearing an outfit woefully lacking pockets for snacks, and being photographed from every possible angle. Ideally, everyone would just walk the carpet in
evening sweatpants, but the next best thing? Throwing on your comfiest bra and wearing it as a shirt.
Bras are an absolute mainstay on red carpets lately and have been…kinda since forever? And they’re showing up more than ever in 2023, with no less than three celebrities wearing them on the Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet back in February. On that note, check out 40 iconic times celebs decided to skip wearing a shirt and opt for lingerie—from Lady Gaga’s full lingerie look at the Met Gala and Gwen Stefani’s furry blue bra at the MTV VMAs to Zendaya’s ’90s supermodel moments at the NAACP Awards. Cheers to being as comfy and underdressed on the red carpet as possible!
