Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, and More Demonstrate How to Show Skin the Chic Way
1/12It may seem obvious during the week of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show that celebs would be bringing out their sexiest looks. Still, some of our favorite ladies found some new and chic ways to get on board with the barely-there trend on red carpets everywhere. See how our picks for best-dressed did it.

WORE: "Malla" black asymmetric cut-out bodysuit by House of CB with a Sally LaPointe high slit skirt
WHERE: The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show after-party in New York
WHY: This is definitely not an everyday look, but Gigi obviously wanted to make a splash after her VS debut. She keeps it looking sweet with a low bun and natural makeup. The high-slit skirt would pair equally well with a sweater for a more weather-appropriate, covered-up look.

WORE: A Versace maxidress and Jimmy Choo sandals
WHERE: The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show after-party in New York
WHY: Nothing says, "I'm a Victoria's Secret model now!" like flashing a little leg, especially in a bronze Versace dress. Like bestie Gigi, Kendall keeps it toned down with a half-bun and a bare face.

WORE: A Dolce & Gabbana mini-dress
WHERE: The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show after-party in New York
WHY: If there's one way to show up a hoard of Victoria's Secret models, it's a tight red mini-dress. Dylan's beach-wavy hair, strappy sandals, and pastel nails keep it on the casual side.

WORE: A deep blue mini by Thierry Mugler
WHERE: The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show after-party in New York
WHY: One of many revealing outfits that Selena wore for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, this daring Mugler mini stood out as a fashion risk. It has cutouts pretty much everywhere you can put them, which just goes to prove that Selena is committed to taking her red carpet style to the next level.
FilmMagic6/12WHO: Rowan Blanchard
WORE: Lela Rose floral strapless top with a metallic wide-leg pant
WHERE: Glamour's Women of the Year Awards in New York
WHY: This sweet, age-appropriate look featured a pretty low-back — all the better to show off Rowan's incredible ponytail and the top's dramatic waterfall detail. The wide-leg pant is a more unexpected choice, and her fashion risk totally pays off.
FilmMagic7/12WHO: Lupita Nyong'o
WORE: Emerald green Jason Wu gown
WHERE: Glamour's Women of the Year Awards in New York
WHY: The Oscar-winning actress always nails it on the red carpet, and this Jason Wu dress is no exception. The demure shape and length are perfect for the formal ceremony, but the peplum reveals cutouts at the waist — a slightly sexy and stylish twist on a red carpet staple.
FilmMagic8/12WHO: Karlie Kloss
WORE: Navy blue Thierry Mugler dress
WHERE: Glamour's Women of the Year Awards in New York
WHY: Karlie can rock a slit-to-there-dress like no other (thanks, mile-long legs!). The black leather button detailing gives this Mugler dress a tuxedo-like twist, and when paired with pointed pumps and a red lip, it's a supermodel spin on a classic.
FilmMagic9/12WHO: Danielle Bernstein of WeWoreWhat WORE: A belted teal silk dress under a leather jacket
WHERE: Glamour's Women of the Year Awards in New York
WHY: As a style blogger, Danielle knows that the different textures of silk and leather play very nicely together. She pulls the look together with a studded clutch and a straight-from-the-runway fabric choker.
FilmMagic10/12WHO: Hilary Rhoda
WORE: A cobalt blue J. Mendel Spring 2016 dress and fringed sandals
WHERE: Glamour's Women of the Year Awards in New York
WHY: Hilary goes for fashion's current favorite silhouette, the shoulder reveal. The fringe of her sandals perfectly mirrors the flirty hem of her dress and the boho feel of the dress's grommet detailing.

WORE: A custom white Prada gown
WHERE: The Beijing premiere of Spectre
WHY: As the newest Bond girl, Léa has been bringing the glamour to every red carpet premiere she's hit on the Spectre press tour. It helps that she has a close relationship with Prada, who custom-made this red-belted white gown for her, but the Old Hollywood waves and red lip are all Léa.
