The Racy New Red Carpet Trend

We’ve gotta give props to Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Lea Michele, Kim Kardashian and these other celebs for coming up with such creative ways to flaunt their décolletage

TAKING THE PLUNGE

The Giorgio Armani number Lea Michele selected for the Do Something Awards in Santa Monica, Calif., certainly isn’t the first super-deep V-neckline dress she’s ever worn (there was this, this and of course, this), but it’s definitely the most revealing.

DRAPED & FASHION-TAPED

Jenna Dewan-Tatum looks one breath away from a wardrobe malfunction in the pale blue print Vivienne Westwood bustier halter dress she chose for the Women Doing Good Awards in N.Y.C.

RED-HOT

Step 1: Wear a plunging gown with revealing sides like Abbie Cornish did at a Toronto Film Festival premiere. Step 2: Watch everyone’s jaws drop.

SUPPORT SYSTEM

We have a feeling Kanye approved of the graphic (in more ways than one!) neckline on the racy black-and-white sheath Kim Kardashian rocked for a Brian Atwood store opening in N.Y.C.

GIRLS ON THE SIDE

Business in the front, party on the sides: That’s how we’d describe Jaime King’s Grecian-inspired orange dress, seen on her at a West Hollywood event for Clos du Bois.

GETTING FRAMED

Who knew a long-sleeve dress with a high-neckline could be so over-the-top sexy? Nina Dobrev did when she selected this red Reem Acra with a racy cutout for the Wallflower Hollywood premiere.

STRAP IN THE SISTERS

En route to the Style Awards in N.Y.C., Joel Madden Tweeted of Nicole Richie, “See how hot my wife looks tonight!” And who could blame him? Her deep-V, cutout LBD was quite the showstopper.

SHEER THEY GO

Neither Britney Spears (at the X Factor auditions in Austin, Texas) nor Ashley Tisdale (at a hotel opening in Vegas) could resist this pink Brian Lichtenberg with its plunging translucent panel.

THE SIDE SHOW

Her new movie may be titled The Perks of Being a Wallflower, but that’s not what we’d call Emma Watson at a screening for the film in N.Y.C., where she sizzled in a Brood mini that showed an unexpected flash of skin on the sides.
