Nikki Glaser has garnered backlash over her latest red carpet look. The comedian, 41, turned heads at this year's MTV VMAs, channeling the ever-popular sheer trend as she slipped her figure into a black dress. Displaying her incredible physique on the red carpet, Nikki flashed plenty of skin in her see-through look, although for some, her dress didn't "pass as clothes." Nikki, who attended the event alongside the likes of singers Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter, had fans trashing her braless dress choice, although the fan asking "Doesn't anyone wear clothes anymore?" was likely referring to half of Hollywood going sheer these days.
