Kendall Jenner In Sheer Braless Street Look Asked Why She 'Bothered'

Kendall Jenner was met with some tension as she braved a fully sheer, braless look that made instant headlines back in 2016. Enjoying her NYC summer and spending it with fellow models Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber, the 28-year-old freed the nipple in a skintight gauze top that left nothing to the imagination, and reviews were mixed. While some praised Kendall for her feminine-strong display, others felt that the finish was distasteful. When The Daily Mail posted the photos, one fan even asked Kendall why she'd "bothered" wearing a top at all.

Scroll for the photo. Twinning with Gigi as the two rocked black tops and jeans, Kendall drew the eye to her curves and nipple piercing as she wore her denim over a bodysuit worn as a top. Going a little off-the-shoulder as she flashed her toned upper body, The Kardashians star flew the flag for the braless trend as she chatted away with her pals, with Hailey wearing a leggy, button-down dress.

Adding metallic accents from a shoulder purse with gold chains, Kendall swished her hair around as she wore her dark locks down. Completing her look with shades and black booties, Kendall also flaunted her trim waistline, choosing a tight jeans fit. While The Daily Mail noted that Kendall's chest had been left "completely exposed," fans were spotting the same thing. Some weren't too kind.

"Seriously, Kendall doesn't cover her [chest] but covers her feet with boots in 88-degree weather? I guess she didn't get the memo..," one user said, gaining approval from over 2,000 others. Also popular was a remark reading: "Cringe," with another much-liked reply adding: "Why bother wearing a top?"

Fast-forward to May 2023, and Kendall was once again going sheer. Stepping out for a dinner date with on-off boyfriend Bad Bunny, the catwalk queen flashed her bare chest in a see-through brown top. Wowing the cameras with her curves, the 818 tequila founder paired her top with a sheepskin-accent miniskirt in brown, coordinating the whole thing with knee-high boots.

"I really don't see what the big deal is with going braless! Free The Nipple," Kendall has written on her blog. "It's sexy, it's comfortable and I'm cool with my breasts. That's it!" she continued.

Kendall may make headlines for going sheer, but she'll always front media outlets with her bikini snaps. In this Instagram photo, she stripped to a tiny tank bikini while showing off her oiled-up body and rocking cowboy boots. Fans even got her wet-haired as she posed in statement shades.
