Whitney Port has long been a fixture of the Los Angeles fashion scene, evolving from a standout on MTV’s The Hills (2006–2010) alongside Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge into a sophisticated designer and style authority.
Her ability to blend reality TV stardom with a legitimate editorial eye has made her red-carpet appearances a frequent point of interest for footwear enthusiasts and fashion critics alike.
The Hills aired for six seasons on MTV from May 31, 2006, until July 13, 2010. Developed as a spin-off of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, the first episode aired when Whitney Eve Port was 21-years-old.

A prime example of her risk-taking style occurred at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 10, 2016.
Attending the Golden Globes afterparties hosted by Netflix, InStyle, and Warner Bros., Port—born in 1985—opted for a daring aesthetic that deviated from her usual California-cool look.

Choosing a “naked dress” silhouette long before it became a standard red-carpet trend, she arrived in a form-fitting, black mesh gown by Michael Costello.
The revealing gown — which featured long sleeves, an open back, and a ruffled train — was clearly a racy choice for the classy affair.
Whitney managed to salvage a touch of modesty, though, thanks to the strapless plunging bodysuit underneath.

The American actress allowed her curves to do all the talking by styling the dress with only a few pieces of jewelry. She chose a selection of rings and a pair of Open Hearts by Jane Seymour earrings.

Measuring 5 feet 10 inches (177.8 cm), the tall actress also carried a chunky white Thale Blanc clutch.
The Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model judge pulled her hair back into a sleek ponytail, and her makeup looked flawless with heavy eyeliner and berry lipstick.

Whitney seemed to love her outfit choice, given that she posted an Instagram photo of herself in the risqué gown.
“Ok, so I know y’all are not used to seeing me like but I thought I’d try a litte something different!! Always good to take some risks! Though the husband did not approve,” she captioned it.
Though we admire the charming star for her bold fashion choice, we might have to side with the husband on this one. She’s got a body worth showing off, but we think she wears subtlety much better than near-full exposure.
