Nine years ago, the supermodel slipped her curves into an impossibly revealing black dress, going low-cut and braless as she ditched her underwear. Mixing glittery fabrics with sheer paneling, Emily turned heads at the Harper's Bazaar Icons Party, making instant headlines for her daring look.
Emily's statement defending her dress only launched more comments, many of which slammed the 34-year-old's dress. One fan even said that Emily dresses "like trash" as they blasted her exposing outfit.
