The babification of Brave

Disney's sexualised redesign of Brave's Merida drew fierce criticism worldwide - because a cartoon is not just a cartoon, writes Chris McEvoy.

Heidi Klum’s shockingly sheer dress

Pin it Share
 

The sheer trend is in – but where do we draw the line between being sexy and over-exposing yourself?

Showing off skin is undeniably fashionable nowadays and I see absolutely nothing wrong in women embracing their beautiful bodies. But I do have a problem when we start parading our private body parts to the world, especially on the red carpet. Well, it’s okay to reveal all at the beach or with your partner, but I certainly don’t have the guts to wear something like this.

But, in Celebville, everyone wants to  show it all off and leave nothing for imagination.

Like this Pussycat Doll member who decided to bare her nipples for the entire universe to see. And what about this star who flashed her vagina on the red carpet?  It’s even gotten worse with teen stars like Miley Cyrus now prancing around pantless.

The latest in the barely-there trend is Heidi Klum whose see-through frock left us squinting and wondering we can see her undies. Or is she wearing nude underwear? I can’t decide. Well, it’s certainly an eye-grabber.

I don’t think I would be brave enough to wear a frock as sheer as this one. Would you?
