I think you all know that the word "glamor" (English glamor) is translated as "charm", "charm", and is synonymous with luxury life. Unsurprisingly, this is the term used to describe the Golden Age of Hollywood. To understand how Americans envisioned real luxury in the period from 1930 to 1950s, it is enough to watch films of those years: in them, huge houses with the highest ceilings were furnished with the most fashionable designer furniture, covered with beautiful carpets and animal skins; when the action of the film passed into the bedroom, she also shocked the imagination of a simple spectator: it was a fabulous boudoir, upholstered in silk and velvet, in which a delicate beauty reigned in an airy negligee and a flowing silk shirt.
Such a suit looked more like a sexy evening outfit than a dressing gown or sleepwear, which is not surprising, since the main task of the glamorous cinema of the Great Depression was to distract ordinary American women from their everyday and economic problems. Even today, the costumes from these films (as well as the scenery) cause surprise and admiration.
"Dinner at eight" 1933
For example, the luxurious outfits of the heroine Jean Harlow from the movie "Dinner at eight", in which the shitty MGM costume designer Adrian Gilbert dressed the famous platinum blonde of the 30s in a peignoir embroidered with bugles and trimmed with ostrich feathers. This negligee in the fashion world is still perceived as a symbol of true Hollywood chic.

And the most famous partner of Fred Astaire, the beauty Ginger Rogers, still delights not only with her ability to play and dance, but also with luxurious costumes (I have already written about her dresses from and), including peignoirs and nightgowns.

In 1934, The Cheerful Divorce, starring Asta and Rogers, the costume designer was Walter Plunkett, the legendary author of Scarlett O'Hara's dresses. Surprisingly, Ginger's dress is also a peignoir. the movie will surely be sharedtogether with medelight with his cut.
Marlene Dietrich is seductive in any outfit ...
Even in a dressing gown. True, this one is from couturier Elsa Schiaparelli.

Not only cinema, but also stories from the secular life of that time promoted the idea: do not be beautiful, but be seductive! The main stylish icon of the time, Wallis Simpson, shocked the world by the fact that the English monarch abdicated the throne for her, a twice-divorced American woman. She wrote: "My husband gave everything because of me ... I am an ugly woman, but I know how to dress better than anyone." This is true, but, they say, her strength was in natural sensuality and seduction. Her negligee was sold at a recent auction, which confirms this.

The coming 2017 promises to be much more modest in terms of fashion: transparent outfits that do not hide anything, “naked dresses” that fit the figure like a second skin and super open neckline are almost out of fashion. In new collections, designers are increasingly focusing on modesty and restraint. And the riot of flesh that the stars showed us in the past 2016, we, apparently, will now contemplate on a much more modest scale. If you see one of the star beauties in a public place practically in negligee, you should know: she is not in trend. In the meantime, let's remember the most scandalous outfits that the stars made a splash on the red carpet in 2016.
1. ANNA SEDOKOVA
Ex-"VIA-Gra" without a deep neckline - nowhere. An appetizing bust is the main weapon of Anna Sedokova, with which the singer wins the hearts of fans. The scarlet outfit of the artist at the MUZ-TV-2016 award showed it in all its glory.
2. ANASTASIA VOLOCHKOVA
It would seem, how else can Nastya amaze us? We have already admired her famous stretch in a micro bikini, on a cleavage and naughty mini-skirts - too. But no, the ballerina is unpredictable as always! In 2016, Volochkova made her theater debut in two performances at once: "A man came to a woman" and "Lady". In both productions, Anastasia runs around the stage in negligee most of the time.
3. NATALIA IONOVA
It is difficult to say which of Gluck's outfits is more frank: almost all of Natasha's concert dresses look as if she is about to start dancing at the pole.
4. KIM KARDASHYAN
Before she was robbed this fall in a Paris hotel, Kim was not particularly shy with the choice of dresses. We even find it difficult to choose which of the outfits claims to be the most scandalous: transparent with straps, as if made of cellophane, or black with a corset.
5. MADONNA
There is also gunpowder in the flasks, and berries ... well, you know where. It was this part of the body that the 58-year-old star demonstrated at the New York Ball of the Costume Institute Met Gala-2016. The singer showed her black lace-covered ass along with a naked bust covered only with nipple stickers.
6. EMILY RATAZHKOVSKI
Nature has endowed the Polish-American supermodel with such a figure that 99 percent of the female population of the planet envies her. What Emily shamelessly uses: it is much easier to see her naked than dressed. Here, for example, her outfit from a party at Harper's Bazaar magazine: she seems to be in a dress, but at the same time she is not ...
7. LADY GAGA
While the singer was engaged to Hollywood actor Taylor Kinney, she was more discreet about the wardrobe: her famous naked outings almost stopped. But the engagement was terminated, the ring returned to the ex-groom, and the indecent outfits were returned to Gaga's closet. And she came to a concert in one of the nightclubs in New York in a transparent overalls and very short denim shorts.
8. RITA OPA
The British singer of Albanian descent has something to brag about: Rita has been included in the ratings of the sexiest women in the world more than once. And although she does not abuse her title of sex symbol, no, no, and she will surprise fans in the form of such a dress.
9. BELLA HADID
Her appearance on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year made a lot of noise. The supermodel came out in a scarlet outfit that leaves little room for imagination. While the photographers clicked their cameras, and the audience frankly stared at her charms, Bella was completely unfazed.
10. DIANE MELLO AND JULIANA SALEMI
Long-legged Italian models took to the red carpet at the 2016 Venice Film Festival in colorful outfits with provocative slits on their skirts. Juliana - in bright orange, with a deep neckline. Her friend Diane boldly showed off a pink thong, while a purely symbolic strip of fabric hid little - rather, emphasized what she had to hide. A serious scandal broke out: not only Italian, but also many foreign tabloids wrote about the indecent behavior of fashion models. In response, the girl tried to justify herself on her Facebook page, explaining her defiant appearance ... with a desire to support a fashion designer friend.
11. CHRISSY TEIGEN
Supermodel Chrissy Teigen got into a similar situation at the presentation of the main US music awards American Music Awards-2016. The model was let down by the too revealing dress of the designer Yusif Akbar. When the model began to move, the hem of the dress invariably flew to the side, revealing the flawless laser depilation in the star's bikini area. Although Chrissy is no stranger to posing in negligee and swimsuits, she was clearly not ready for such a turn of events. Trying in vain to keep the rebellious skirt within the bounds of decency, the model hastened to hide in the auditorium.
12. NATASHA POLY
The Russian supermodel opted for an almost sheer silver dress for Vanity Fair's post-Oscar party.
13. GWEN STEPHANIE
At the same Vanity Fair party, Gwen Stefanie also distinguished herself: the 47-year-old singer's transparent red dress caused a lot of gossip. However, Gwen was not at all up to sidelong glances: she just shone, because next to her was her new boyfriend - musician Blake Shelton. This was one of their first joint public appearances.
14. NIKI MINAGE
The dark-skinned rapper has long been called the rival of Kim Kardashian in terms of scandalous outfits and protrusion of her own charms.
15. BRITNEY SPEARS
At the Billboard Music Awards, the singer appeared in a rather immodest outfit: black lace and fishnet stockings.
16.JENNIFER LOPEZ
Yes, she's 47, so what? Her butt is still worth a million, so why not show it off from time to time? J. Law is in fantastic shape - it's not for nothing that she is now having an affair with rapper Drake, who is 17 years younger than her.
17. MARAYA CARI
Mariah cannot be called a fragile flower, nevertheless, she loves to show her forms in the most revealing outfits. For example, she came to one of the parties as if she had completely forgotten to dress - in a black corset resembling underwear and in stockings.
18. Ashley GRAHAM
Ashley is today's hottest plus-size model, showing off swimwear and lingerie. Apparently, the owner of an appetizing size 54 contracted the same disease as the rest of the models, and decided to attend the MTV-2016 awards in a transparent dress.
19. BLEONA QUERETI
The Albanian red carpet singer is usually remembered not for her awards or outstanding vocals, but for her ridiculous outfits. For example, like this - in the form of medieval armor, repeating the shape of her breasts.
20. PEM HOGG AND ITS MODEL
British designer Pam Hogg believes that she tears the patterns and with her outfits explodes the bourgeois tastes and foundations of prim Foggy Albion. She came to the Brit's award in her native London, accompanied by a model dressed in one of her creations. The black transparent outfit did not hide anything - it was so frank that the hosts of the ceremony now and then shyly averted their eyes, bumping into the girl with a glance.
Beautiful and fatal, unhappy and abandoned, sexy and stunning ... It is for them that millions of men from all over the world went and go crazy. They were and are trendsetters for many decades.

3. Adriana Lima
Since 2000, Adriana Lima has starred in lingerie, becoming one of Victoria's Secret Angels. © tochka.netVideo clips have always been an integral part of the promotion of musicians. These days, their popularity is often measured by the degree to which their videos are candid. For singers, this is a scale of nudity and sexuality of behavior in the frame.
Nowadays, when there are almost no bans and censorship on television, and it has become extremely easy to watch videos via the Internet, nudity in music videos has become a distinctive feature, a "chip" of many performers. Often the banal presence of a model in a bikini is enough to attract attention and the label "scandalous" for a video clip.
Аfisha.tochka.net talks about the most famous Ukrainian performers who appeared in "nudity" and the models that provided the appropriate image for the male performers.
________________________________________________________________________________
Vlada Litovchenko (41 years old)
One of the first Ukrainian professional models gained fame thanks to the appearance in several clips of popular performers. Vlada Litovchenko, in particular, played roles in the clips of Alexander Ponomarev "Choven" and "Vin chekah na nei". In the latter, she presented the transformation from a simple waitress to the chosen one of the protagonist, and the clip itself was noted by the presence of rock star Svyatoslav Vakarchuk in the frame. In the video for Vitaly Kozlovsky's song "The rain is knocking on the window" Vlada's beauty is hidden by special effects and post-production.
But the most curious clip with her participation, in our opinion, is the video for the remix of the legendary "Kropiva" by Mikhail Poplavsky, in which she plays the antagonist of the singing rector and by her presence saves this sample of cheap kitsch and bad taste.
Anna Sedakova (29 years old)
According to many fans, Anya was the most attractive member of the "VIA Gra" group and with her departure the team lost a lot. In many respects, this concerns the clips of the group, in which the prominent parts of Sedovoka's body played an important role. Since the beginning of her solo career, the singer has appeared in several juicy videos that make her one of the main Ukrainian heroines of the strawberry video.
At the same time, not many can now remember that one of the first video works of Sedakova was a video for the song "Check in" by the group "TNMK", where the future star performed one of the episodic roles.

Svetlana Loboda (29 years old)
The image of Loboda from the very beginning was built around sex appeal. At the same time, the main emphasis was placed on clips in which Svetlana always appears with varying degrees of nudity and debauchery of body movements. At the same time, she remains one of the few singers who deliberately draw attention to their lips and at the same time skillfully use it.
At one time, Svetalana Loboda did not agree with her role as one of the three attractive girls in the frame. One of the most outspoken clips of "VIA Gra" "Biology" was remembered by the audience largely thanks to her. Having made a bet on a solo career, the singer was right - in the video for the song "Wait, MuSchina" Loboda appears in a bikini drenched in black paint and on a pole, which ends with a characteristic curvature. The men are delighted.

Dasha Astafieva (26 years old)
The muse of Playboy creator Hugh Heffner and the famous model is no stranger to shock the audience with erotica. Several clips of the NikitA group, of which Dasha Astafieva is a member, became the subject of controversy among the fans of the model and her haters. Almost every clip of the group inspired fighters for morality to accusatory tirades, and champions of emancipation - to fiery apologetic speeches. What is the video for the song "Rope", which the male audience can watch, it seems, for hours.
We can only hope that at 26, Dasha Astafieva retained her taste for undressing in front of the camera, which means we will see her private parts more than once.
________________________________________________________________________________
Tina Karol (27 years old)
In 2007, the video for the song "Night" made Tina Karol a real heroine of the yellow press. In her new video, she starred completely naked. The clip was instantly banned from being shown on TV, the editors of news feeds on the network took screenshots from the video exactly at the moment where the singer's chest flashes in the frame, and the video itself became the subject of heated debate.
A close look at the clip gives rise to suspicions that all this is nothing more than a well-planned PR campaign. In the video, all the "private" parts of the body are chastely covered, and only the singer's carnivorous lips can excite the viewer.
________________________________________________________________________________
Inna Tsimbalyuk (27 years old)
The famous model and TV presenter has regularly appeared in clips of various artists throughout her career. Despite the fact that Inna appears on the screen dressed and avoids frivolous scenes, it is her beauty that remains synonymous with sex appeal for many men. Perhaps an important role in this was played by the fact that in several clips at once she appears in the image of a bride.
The periodic appearance of Inna Tsimbaliuk in episodic roles in television films also attracts everyone's attention, even though she, to put it mildly, does not shine with her acting skills.
