These are the things beautiful people can get away with. Recently given the title by People Magazine, Gwyneth Paltrow showed that as the “World’s Most Beautiful Woman,” she can grace a red carpet premiere without underwear.

No bra, no knickers — not even Spanx. All that held up the Antonio Berardi gown was Gwyneth’s body, famously sculpted by a stringent diet and exercise regimen.

The kimono-sleeved paneled gown is deceptively demure from the front but shows its true colors from the side. It showed more than that on the red carpet: the sheer high-cut panels bared Gwyneth’s legs, thighs, and plenty of side butt.
Do you think Gwyneth Paltrow gets away with this no-underwear look?

Despite the negative feedback, Paltrow’s stylist, Elizabeth Saltzman, defended the choice in Us Weekly, describing the dress as “elegant” and a testament to Paltrow’s fitness efforts.
“Not only was it our first choice, it’s [also] beautiful, it’s cool, it’s daring in a no-daring way. Nonthreatening. Elegant,” Saltzman told the magazine. “It looked great on her … it showed off her body. It’s spirit without being vulgar.”
“The point is that this girl has taste, this girl has confidence,” the stylist added. “And she’s not flaunting anything but the hard work that she’s put into being a happy body, happy person, healthy person. You don’t see a whole lot of false fakeness going on there like some other people. She’s always classic with a twist, classic with an edge.”
The sheer sides of the gown also bared these shoes on Gwyneth’s feet, much to our delight:
