Anitta is definitely one of today’s most influential artists, not just in her home country of Brazil but globally as well. Looking back to 2021, there was a song that took over social media and made her the center of attention. It came with a dance move, famously known as ‘the Anitta step,’ that everyone wanted to try but only a few could really nail due to its complexity and sensuality.

This whole package of music, dance, and visuals really emphasized Anitta’s natural sensuality, which has always been a part of her persona. However, being proudly herself doesn’t mean she’s immune to criticism. Recently, there’s been some backlash over the dress she wore to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

The dress Anitta wore is a vintage Givenchy piece from the Fall-Winter 1996 collection. It had sheer sections that showed off her body, and she wore a nude thong underneath. Some of the comments left on social media were not exactly nice, including: “I don’t think it’s necessary; you would look much prettier with appropriate attire.” “Let someone help you open your eyes and appreciate yourself!!!” “So beautiful and talented, but this look was absolutely unnecessary! What a shame 😕.”

The truth is the singer’s outfit astonished everyone because of how stunning she looked. And she wasn’t alone in embracing transparency and flaunting her figure; there were several other celebrities who did the same. For instance, Jennifer Lawrence wore a dress with a sheer bottom, Florence Pugh went for a white gown from Jean Paul Gaultier that showed some skin as well, and Vanessa Hudgens unveiled her pregnancy in a see-through black dress by Off-White.

Transparency in Past Occasions

We’re familiar with dresses or outfits that have sheer elements, and they’ve been around for a while. Sometimes, they grab attention and spark comments, just like what Anitta did recently. Looking back, we’ve seen stars like Cher rocking these kinds of dresses at the Oscars, Rihanna at the Fashion Icon Awards in 2014, and more recently, Dua Lipa at the Barbie premiere in Los Angeles.
