The most outrageous nearly-naked outfits ever worn to the Brit Awards
Featuring Misteeq, Destiny's Child, the Spice Girls and basically all our '90s faves
Misteeq, Destiny's Child, Spice Girls - the Brit Awards red carpet has been a very naked affair over the years. Here are some of our favourite, near-naked outfits...
Montana Brown, 2020
Montana Brown just recreated her NSFW thong leotard look at this year's BRIT Awards, although this time she swapped the neutral colour palette and G-string detail for a lemon yellow bodysuit with a slightly less revealing back, overlaid with sheer glittery goodness.

Sonique, 2001
The problem with British red carpets is the weather often calls for a coat. Sonique didn't let that stop her showcasing her sequin dress at the 2001 awards, though.
Anastasia, 2002
And Anastasia felt the exact same way the following year.
Samantha Mumba, 2001
Samantha Mumba wore a scarf in place of a top in 2001, and TBH she's rocking the lewk.
Caprice, 2001
Caprice's outfit was beachwear inspired and we're feeling those sparkles.
Misteeq, 2002
Misteeq almost distracted us from the sheer material on these dresses with that bright, bold hue.
Rachel Stevens, 2004
Speaking of bright... Remember this number?
Destiny's Child 2001
Throwback to the time Destiny's Child basically just wore bikinis and we LOVED it.
Mel B, 1997
And the time Mel B decided not to do up her jumpsuit.
Sonique, 2002
Another year for Sonique, this time she made peacock chic a thing.
Billie Piper, 1999
Billie Piper's 1999 red jumpsuit was cut-out #goals.
Caprice, 2011
Caprice was wearing sheer skirts on the red carpet way before Rihanna.
Kerry Katona, 2004
In 2004, Kerry Katona gave this monochrome co-ord a whirl, complete with a teeny tiny noughties bag.
Lady Gaga, 2010
Lady Gaga? Yeah, she just wore a bit of lace over the necessary parts.
Rita Ora, 2015
Rita Ora's 2015 jumpsuit had a lot of material, it was mostly see-through.
Cheryl Cole, 2016
Cheryl's lemon dress from the 2016 red carpet wasn't exactly see-through but it definitely wasn't far away.
Little Mix, 2017
Little Mix came under fire for their raunchy stage outfits at the 2017 Brit Awards.
Ellie Goulding, 2017
Ellie Goulding's dress not only allowed her to try out the Angelina Jolie leg, but it also had cute chain detailing on the chest.
Lottie Moss, 2018
Lottie chose a sheer black gown for the awards, and added some knickers underneath for her modesty.
