Cathy Bell [ imdb ] Cathy Bell isn't a household name over this side of the Atlantic. She appeared in the tv series JAG, but it didn't fare as well in these parts as it did stateside. She was actually born in the UK, but moved to California at the age of 2. We had featured Cathy on this page, as she has plenty up top to keep the photographers happy... and keep the rest of us drooling. But she was just featured wearing tight dresses etc. Then, some pictures emerged from a red carpet event in 1999 showing Cathy putting the full see-through moves on the papparazzi. And, since this is from 1999, that puts our Cath at the very cutting edge of this trend! Given the look on her face in this photo, it's hard to believe she was unaware of the effect. |

Hillary Swank [ imdb ] Hillary Ann Swank may well be the originator of the current wave of maybe-accidental-maybe-not see-through clothing on the red carpet. When attending the premiere for her movie Boys Don't Cry she arrived in a basically transparent dress. Some commentators have speculated that, since she played a man so convincingly in that film, she did this on purpose just to make sure everyone knew she was all woman. And she certainly is. Although she hasn't felt the need to repeat the performance, she does still wear some very glamourous and tight clothes on the red carpet - check out our revealing red carpet shots page to see. |

Estella Warren [ imdb ] Estella started off as a synchronized swimmer from the age of 7 until 17. She was then spotted by a talent scout at a high school fashion show. Really - where does this parallel world start where it's ok to approach schoolgirls with a view to telling them that they're attractive, and you'd like to pay them to dress up nicely. Aren't there laws? Anyway, this contact led to a modelling career, and then, sure as eggs is eggs, the law of Hollywood says that leads to acting. And it did. The lackluster and unnecessary remake of Planet of the Apes was her first major role. Although it led to a higher profile, it didn't exactly lead to a stellar career. But as you can see from the pics here, we still have reason to be thankful she moved to Hollywood! Check out Estella's other red carpet appearances |

Megan Good [ imdb ] We're not familiar with any of her acting or singing, but any time we see a pic of Megan from a red-carpet appearance, she always gives us something good to look at! Check out Megan's other red carpet appearances |

Jennifer Ellison [ imdb ] Born in Liverpool in 1983, Jennifer Ellison started off in daytime soap, went on to appear in the film version of The Phantom of the Opera, and is now an actress/singer. But she is currently more famous for her clevage than her singing or acting. This is not some accidental papparazzi obsession - Jennifer carefully puts her mammary assets on show at the slightest opportunity, and has recently done a series of adverts for lingerie. So perhaps it wouldn't be a stretch to say that this transparent vest incident wasn't an accident, but just the latest in a series of breast-fuelled publicity moves. |

Alyssa Milano [ imdb ] Alyssa is the quintessential good-girl-gone-bad... she was the cute, lovable teen in some sitcoms, and then she became the bad girl in Charmed. In between, she did some nude photos, some nude scenes in movies, and dated Justin Timberlake. Here she is pictured at Usher's birthday party. Full-on sheer action. Check out Alyssa's skimpy outings |

Anne Hathaway [ imdb ] American actress who, back in 2004, made one of the most high profile see-through faux-pas at the School Of Rock premiere :-) She claimed it was a simple mistake, but her appearances at other red carpet events makes us think that she likes to flash the clevage around a bit... and we have no problem with that! This is probably another example of the "think of me as a little girl no more" tactic. Update! Anne has been up to her old tricks again. The third picture on the left shows her at another red carpet affair, and once again she's gone for the see-through material for her top. This time, however, she has used what is referred to in the business as "tit tape" to mask her nipple. In fact, it looks like it might be a household Elastoplast! Come on, Anne! At least Jeri Ryan (see 2nd pic below) bought a dedicated nipple cover to prevent pokage :-) |

Jeri Ryan [ imdb ] Jeri Ryan (born Jeri Lynn Zimmerman in Germany) is best known for slipping into Star Trek: Voyager's tight-fitting Seven Of Nine costume. Being used to tight costumes under hot lights, she should probably have known better. But thankfully for us she either didn't know better, or did but decided to do it anyway :-) In the second photo, you can see that she has learned from her "mistake", and worn a special adhesive nipple cover. What kind of world is it where you can buy an adhesive nipple cover? |
 |
Brittany Murphy [ imdb ] Another American actress demonstrates how to hold the attention of the papparazzi. Gotta love Brittany (real name Sharon Murphy) for her vocal turn in King Of The Hill if nothing else. |
 |
Eliza Dushku [ imdb ] Best known as Buffy The Vampire Slayer's bad girl Faith, Eliza demonstrates how a good Mormon girl can turn out in Hollywood. Albeit, a part Albanian, part Danish one. She takes a slightly different tack from the others' light-as-a-feather fabrics, and goes for a knitted dress that is rendered slightly fishnet-esque by the lights. Interesting choice - top marks. Eliza's chat show appearances |
 |
Francesca Senette [ site ] Francesca is a television presenter in her native Italy, but in this pic she shows she can work the red carpet with the best of the celebs! |
|
Pamela Anderson [ imdb ] No enoumous surprises here, I suppose. When the "red carpet flash" became the in thing, it was to be expected that a celebrity who came to fame by taking her clothes off would use it to her advantage. Here, Pammy (looking slightly the worse for wear these days) goes straight for the classic tight-black-flimsy dress that is the staple of the see-through brigade. |
 |
Jessica Alba [ bio ] This one surprised a lot of people. Jessica doesn't need to convince anyone she's not all goody goody... none of us thought that, right? ;-) And she has stated on record that she doesn't intend to do nudity in films (unlike Anne Hathaway, who said she had no problem with it). So maybe this incident really was accidental! Her dress had a second layer of material that came down over her chest, but the wind blew it out of the way, revealing a very, very flimsy fabric beneath. No match for a powerful light source! |
|
Jennifer Esposito [ imdb ] Best known over this side of the Atlantic as the hot chick in Michael J. Fox-era Spin City, before the Heather Locklear / Charlie Sheen combo took over, Jennifer seems to have the hang of the red carpet dance! This photo shows a classic piece of red carpet trickery. And check out another of her red carpet appearances in our Skimpy section. |
 |
Mariah Carey [ imdb ] Crazy chanteuse Mariah is well known for her penchant for tight, short dresses, and other clothes that show off her fit body to greatest effect. She's a little prone to weight gain, but she seems to be careful not to go to one extreme or the other - and it shows: she has a nice, natural, curvy bod. In these pics, she shows that, when coming to a hotel balcony to say hi to her fans, she doesn't waste time with things like putting on a bra. God bless her!

Jennifer Connelly [ imdb ] We had included the beautiful Jennifer in our section on skimpy red carpet outfits, but then we found this classic see-through incident. Jen certainly has her top packed! |
 |
Nikki Cox [ imdb ] Nikki Cox is an actress who does not seem to have had the breaks she deserves. If Pamela Anderson can have a career on tv, then surely Nikki deserves better than she's got. But we digress - on to the matter in hand: Nikki's appearance on the red carpet. As you can see from the photo on the left, she has played the see-through card, but, as you might expect from one so prodigiously endowed, she knew enough about breast management to have stick-on nipple covers (see Jeri Ryan above). In the second pic, you can see that Nikki likes to work from both ends: as well as low-cut tops, she favours high-cut skirts. And with legs like that, it would be a crime not to! |
 |
Tara Reid [ imdb ] But when it comes to showing off what you've got, Tara Reid is right up there in the A-list. Here she does the see-through thing with a nice loose fitting top. Follow the link below to see Tara going the full monty! Tara's infamous red carpet appearance |

Terry Farrell [ imdb ] Born November 9th 1963, Terry became a model after dropping out of school aged 17. She is most famous for her role as Jadzia Dax in the TV show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine from 1993 to 1999. She left one season before the end of the show's 7-year run, while the rest of the core cast stayed the full term. It would be easy to imagine this was a case of doing a David Caruso, but in fact she said afterwards: "I begged the producers not to kill me. They thought I was just being this neurotic little actress hoping to have a part to come back to, but I really meant it. I didn't want to see six great years end that way." Here you can see Terry doing a classic red carpet see-through appearance. |

Victoria Silvstedt [ imdb ] A former Playboy centerfold, Karen Victoria Silvstedt is everything a Swedish model should be: tall (just shy of 6 feet), blonde, athletic (she skied competitively in the giant slalom for Sweden), buxom, beautiful (in 1993 she was the first runner-up in the Miss Sweden beauty pageant) and very willing to take off her clothes in front of a camera. While Victoria didn't let slip anything on the red carpet, she did show a little more than intended during an interview on Italian television. You can check that out here. |
 |
Lisa Rinna [ imdb ] Lisa also shows up in our section on skimpy red carpet outfits, but here she has decided to join the ranks of the true extroverts with a flimsy, see-through dress. Now, we're not denying that Lisa has the rack to pull that off, but you may have noticed that the average age of the women on this page is pretty low. Let's look at the years of birth: Anne Hathaway... 1982, Jessica Alba... 1981, Hillary Swank... 1974. Lisa's DOB falls into 1963. A brave move to court scorn for pulling a move usually reserved for women under 30. |
