Kourtney Kardashian just wore a super chic naked dress in Venice

Celebrity naked dresses have become something of a red carpet mainstay and, to be honest, we wouldn't have it any other way. Not only do they require impressive skills on part of designers (like how do they even stay in place?), they're also a totally fearless fashion choice, frequently turning up the heat at awards shows.

From iconic throwback moments - such as Rose McGowan's famous MTV Video Music Awards look - to the dresses that defined the last 10 years of red carpet history - yep, we're talking about Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez's ongoing love of the sexy style at major events like the Met Gala, and, of course, Rihanna's 100% sheer glitter dress - this is your one-stop-shop for the must-see, nearly-naked gowns.

Scroll down to see the best celebrity naked dresses in history. We've also thrown in a few very sheer catsuits too, because why not?

For Dolce & Gabbana's recent Alta Moda show in Venice, Kourtney Kardashian wears a sheer naked dress by the brand, accessorised with a floral belt, worn over black lingerie while standing alongside Travis Barker. Barker commented on Kourtney's Instagram post "We’re moving to Italy" - so it sounds like they both enjoyed themselves.
