The LACMA Art+Film Gala, an art and film event organised by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), took place in Los Angeles. This time attention went not only to art and cinema but also to what the guests wore: strikingly revealing evening gowns dominated the red carpet.
What was on show
The most common choices were hip-high slits and necklines that plunged provocatively low. For many gowns the main feature was the back: the front looked elegant and restrained, while the rear surprised with a bare cut-out.
Where the line lies
The fashion section of the Latvian site TVNET notes that nudity can look luxurious, seductive and tasteful when every detail is in its place. But when a single dress combines a deep neckline, sheer fabric, a high slit and glittering fringe, the outfit can become louder than the person wearing it.
The article concludes that sometimes the boldest fashion gesture is knowing what to leave to the imagination. The outfits from the event were collected in a photo gallery.
