Bella Thorne Exposing Chest In Sheer Braless Dress Looks 'Awkward'

Bella Thorne was given a hard time over her look at the The Art Of Elysium's annual HEAVEN gala earlier this year. In January, the 26-year-old joined stars including model Heidi Klum and actress Christina Hendricks at the L.A.-held event, one seeing her champion the sheer trend as she braved a see-through finish. Modeling in a slinky braless dress that left nothing to the imagination, Bella flaunted her curves with confidence, although some fans thought she looked anything but. When The Daily Mail covered the Florida-born star's dress, a popular comment dubbed her as looking "awkward."

Scroll for the photos. Rocking a honey-gold shade, Bella accentuated her curvy figure via a clingy, floor-length number made entirely of mesh-netted fabrics. Highlighting her curvy hips and shapely legs, the Midnight Sun star afforded a nearly bare-chested finish, going revealing in her spaghetti straps and offering a full view of her cleavage.

Putting a modern-day twist on classic elegance, Bella covered up a little via her stretchy, tan-colored underpants, ones adding glittery accents and hugging her hourglass waist. Going racy with a thigh slit, Bella Thorne added pops of bold red from a strappy, high-heeled pair of shoes, also coordinating her footwear to her bright red lipstick. She showed off her famous tattoos, keeping glam with her hair worn down, plus dewy makeup complete with a dramatic layer of black eyeliner.

Over 40 users have now liked a remark saying that Bella looked "uncharacteristically awkward here." The former Disney star, who has largely seen fans support her as she rocks a slightly curvier figure in 2024, was also heavily body-shamed by trolls commenting on her weight. Thorne did, however, garner positivity from a user saying: "Bella is looking a lot more healthy. Its nice to see."
While fans didn't get a chest flash in Bella's headlines-making Hello Kitty bikini showoff, they did get their favorite actress stripped to a micro two-piece that checked boxes for fun and girly style.

Bella Thorne has now gained over 1.4 million Instagram likes for this April 2023 post. Sitting outdoors and cross-legged in her too-tiny, checkered Hello Kitty bikini, the redhead showed off her curves in her crochet swimwear writing: "MELLLLTTING. Should I wear this to the festival today??"
"Confidence can come and go. You can have it one day and not have it the next, and that is kind of the s**ty thing," Bella told Morning Honey in November 2021, continuing: "When you don’t have the confidence, you kind of have to push on yourself, and you kind of have to force it sometimes and then it’s there."
