Bella Thorne left virtually nothing to the imagination as she attended The Art of Elysium’s 2024 Heaven Gala on Saturday to celebrate the non-profit organization’s 25th anniversary.

Thorne rubbed elbows with other well-known celebrities, including supermodel Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni, Amy Smart, Christina Hendricks, Jamie Chung, Cara Santana, and Sofia Vergara’s ex-husband Joe Manganiello, who was pictured with his new girlfriend Caitlin O’Connor on the red carpet.

The former Disney star has become known for her playful and often daring sense of style—reflecting her fearless and bold personality. And at the benefit gala, she once again showcased her penchant for bold fashion by going braless underneath a see-through mesh gown.

Never one to shy away from taking risks on the red carpet, Bella commanded attention in a see-through sheer champagne gown that revealed plenty of flesh. It clung perfectly to her voluptuous curves, held in place by thin braided spaghetti straps.

Bella, who set a record in 2020 by earning $1 million within the first 24 hours of opening her OnlyFans account, dazzled in the exquisite gown adorned with hand-embroidered sparkling rhinestone crystals. She freed the nipple underneath the risque creation, designed with a low-cut neckline, an open back, a daring thigh-high slit that highlighted her shapely legs, and a floor-sweeping hem.

Her beige underwear, the only thing she was wearing underneath, was clearly visible through her gown.

Adding a sultry element to her already seductive look, Bella wore towering red heels made of red croc-embossed leather, fastened to her ankles with a thick satin ankle strap. They also have thin toe straps, high heels to boost her already tall 5’8” frame, and open toes to show off her bloody red pedicure.

Bella kept the look sexy by letting her red hair fall loosely in waves around her shoulders and rocking her signature glam, which included mascara, winged eyeliner, rosy blush, and bright red lip color.

She then gave her dazzling ensemble some added glitz by accessorizing with a pair of earrings, two diamond-encrusted bangles, and a few rings, including her 10-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring from her fiancé Mark Emms, who was noticeably missing from the occasion.

In December of 2023, Thorne told People she wants to make sure they keep growing as a couple and seek professional counseling to address any issues they may have.

“[We’re] still really learning each other’s traits, and trying to get them right before we get married so that we’re not figuring out all that stuff on the table,” she said.

“I think me and Mark are really in our language of now, talking it out now, so we can just do it or get through it or decide how we want to feel about it. Or if we need to see a therapist over that one specific topic, then we do it,” she added.
