What is the French language plot outline for Naked (2017)?
When Marilyn Monroe performed a rendition of “Happy Birthday” at President John F. Kennedy’s 1962 birthday celebration, her dress wasn’t just revealing — it was trend setting. Designed by Jean Louis with over 2,500 rhinestones, Monroe’s flesh-colored gown made the term “naked dress” popular and started a new era of sheer, nude-illusion in fashion and pop culture.
Monroe’s Jean Louis gown wasn’t the first “naked dress” in history. Clara Bow was seen in a dress in the 1925 silent film “My Lady of Whims,” and Mae West made headlines in 1936 with her see-through floral gown in “Go West, Young Man.” But it was after Monroe that the style gained prominence.
In 1964, Rudi Gernreich created the revealing monokini. In 1966, Yves Saint Laurent designed his first sheer look. In 1969, Barbra Streisand accepted her Oscar in a sheer, sequined Arnold Scaasi pantsuit. That same year, Jane Birkin wore a sheer little black dress for the “Slogan” premiere. Bob Mackie, known as the ” dressed Cher in a beaded and feathered naked dress for the 1974 Met Gala.
Over the decades, many designers and celebrities have shown their interpretation of naked dressing, with some ensembles causing more controversy than others. In 2014, Rihanna redefined the style at the CFDA ceremony with her crystal gown created by Adam Selm.
