Bella Thorne 'Inappropriate' In Sheer Dress Without Underwear
By Evie Scott on August 10, 2024 at 11:00 AM EDT
Bella Thorne looked incredible as she rocked the sheer trend for the 2016 Critics' Choice Awards. The 26-year-old actress, aged 19 at the time, sizzled for photo ops at the high-profile event, going glam in a skintight, see-through dress while ditching her underwear. Turning heads as she just about stayed safe in her skin-baring number, Bella flashed both her cleavage and some cheek in her floor-length gown, one seemingly offending some users as The Daily Mail published the photos. Alongside being called out for her risque look, Bella also sparked concern on the weight front as some fans worried that she'd gotten too thin.

Scroll for the photo. Largely posing with one hand on her hip as she smiled for the cameras, Bella put on a sleek, racy display in her long-sleeved dress. With her teeny waist and slender arms on display, the Midnight Sun star went completely see-through in a fitted dress with black-stitched piping, adding splashes of metallic silver from glitter embellishments covering parts of the gown. With her cleavage largely protected as she went braless, Bella highlighted her abs and hips as she braved going commando, although photos taken in profile did reveal the silver splashes to be protecting her posterior.

Sporting her fiery red locks in a low ponytail, Bella struck enough poses to show her dress' massive back cut-out, completing her look with an edgy black manicure, tons of silver jewelry, plus a warming face of makeup with plenty of bronzer, highlighter, and a lined lip.
Fans weren't so keen as they filled The Daily Mail's comments section. "This sheer trend has to stop...it's out of hand now," one replied. Seemingly exasperated, another said: "Remember the days when celebrities wore clothes that left some to the imagination?........... Me neither."

Also slamming the look was a user replying: "This would be inappropriate and borderline vulgar for the AMAs, let alone the Critics Choice Awards. Not sure why she was invited but if she keeps this up she's going to be this generation's Lindsay Lohan."

Elsewhere, Bella Thorne had fans concerned over whether she was eating properly. Users called her too "skinny" and "thin," with a rather aggressive reply suggesting that she eat a "sandwich."
In January 2019, Bella made headlines for revealing her weight gain after battling 2016-2017 eating issues due to stress. The actress bravely shared swimwear-clad photos of herself while underweight, telling fans that she was "proud" of the weight and health she'd gained back. In 2020, she posted these green bikini photos from Mexico, proving that she's looking better than ever.
