In order not to refuse the exploitation of sexual images, The filmmakers used a trick. There was not a word in this code about, what women should not be shown on screen, dressed in tight, sometimes transparent dresses.
Costume designers began creating special outfits, made of tulle and decorated with sequins in the most interesting places. This is how “naked” appeared, or, what they were called then, "illusory" dresses. One of the first, at 1933 year, Ginger Rogers tried on this outfit in the movie for the movie “Flying Down to Rio”.

Mae West, "Mae West Forever"
Year of creation: 1936.
The main erotic Hollywood icon of the 30s, Mae West, couldn’t ignore the “naked” dresses.. There were rumors, that the Hays Code worked personally against the sex diva. Moral advocates were outraged by her films, demeanor and, of course, outfits. However, it should be noted, that the star never allowed herself to be naked. And that's not the point at all, that she was afraid of problems. May thought, that the secret cannot be completely revealed, only then can you keep the audience, mainly male, in constant tension.
The actress's beliefs were not unfounded. After all, having a rather ordinary, even slightly comical appearance and very short stature, she was able to become a real sex symbol of the era. One of the striking examples of her passion-inducing outfit is the dress for the film “Mae West Forever”.
Marlene Dietrich, "Seven sins"
Year of creationI: 1940.
Marlene Dietrich has established herself as a sex symbol since the film "The Blue Angel", where she appeared before the audience in a very erotic image (read also: Marlene Dietrich: style icon secrets). and Rihanna was spotted by producer and rapper Jay-Z and took up her promotion 1940 year, costume designer Irene made her first “illusory” dress for Marlene. In it, the star played in the film “Seven Sins”. Ten years later, Marlene to another costume designer, Janu-Louis (Irene was no longer alive at that time), I ordered several “naked” toilets for stage performances.
In this way, illusory outfits have become the diva’s calling card. It should be noted, that all of Marlene Dietrich’s “nude” appearances were distinguished by emphasized elegance. The diva always wore furs over her dresses., and the cut of the outfits and the placement of camouflage trims were clearly adjusted to, to prevent vulgarity.
Marilyn Monroe, "Only girls in jazz"
Year of creation: 1959.
Dress, in which Marilyn shows off in one of the scenes of the cult film “Some Like It Hot”, caused very controversial assessments. Fans of the actress were glad to see her charms in such an undisguised form, and the Puritans were outraged. It's come to this, What's a movie in Kansas?, where Monroe can be seen without any underwear, banned from viewing, and in Memphis they set the restriction “Adults Only”.
In fact, under this “naked” dress, Marilyn was not naked at all. Especially for her, costume designer Orry-Kelly sewed a special support structure into the bodice of the dress between two layers of fabric, which fastened at the back, but was carefully disguised. To make the dress fit perfectly, he was pushed around Monroe right on the set.
At the same time, the filmmakers even sacrificed the authenticity of the outfit.. The film took place in the 20s of the twentieth century, when dresses had a rectangular silhouette. However, the producers decided, that emphasizing star shapes with tight fitting is more important, how to preserve the realities of time.
Barbara Brylska, "Pharaoh"
Year of creation: 1966.
and Rihanna was spotted by producer and rapper Jay-Z and took up her promotion 1966 year, Polish director Jerzy Kawalerowicz made a film about Ancient Egypt. The picture was historical, not erotic, as it might seem when looking at the total nudity of Barbara Brylska.
First of all, in Poland there were no prohibitions on showing nudity on camera, and secondly, even if there were such restrictions, the director could quite legitimately neglect them. In his film, the costume of a woman from Ancient Egypt is reproduced as accurately as possible.. Priestess Kama, played by Brylska, dressed in kalazaris - traditional Egyptian clothing.
It consisted of two pieces of fabric, connected on the sides. And that, Kalazaris were indeed often transparent and exposed their chests... So Jerzy Kawalerowicz managed to kill two birds with one stone - and respect historical realities, and show all the charms of the actress. Well, of course, make a breakthrough in the field of film nudity of actresses. The film went beyond Poland and was even nominated 1967 Oscar for Best Foreign Film.
Liza Minnelli, "Cabaret"
Year of creation: 1972.
In the 70s in Hollywood, the Hays Code, which caused the emergence of “illusory” dresses in the 30s, was forgotten. and Rihanna was spotted by producer and rapper Jay-Z and took up her promotion 1965 year it was abolished, and by the time of the creation of the musical “Cabaret” with Liza Minnelli in the title role, the directors of the dream factory, those who want to show all the charms of actresses, hands were untied.
Now filmmakers didn’t even need to hide behind the demands of historical realities, as director of "Pharaoh" with Barbara Brylska. Transparency has evolved from "illusory", where “strategically important” places were hidden under decorative elements, to breathtaking transparency.
In one of Minnelli's stage looks in the film, she wears a dress, where the top and bottom are connected by chains of rhinestones, exposing the belly, and the bodice is made of two small completely transparent strips of fabric. Perhaps, this dress can be called one of the sexiest images in the entire film, during which Lisa appears in several revealing outfits.
Raquel Welch, "Monster"
Year of creation: 1979.
The main American sex symbol of the 70s Raquel Welch, starring in 1979 in the movie "The Beast", firmly established the position of transparent dresses in cinema. Now the actress’s charms shining through the fabric did not cause a storm of indignation. Philosophy of freedom and emancipation, typical of the 70s, gradually swept away prohibitions and taboos. It was profitable for directors to fill their films with nudity to the maximum, exploiting charms for the sake of the popularity of paintings.
Hollywood star of the 30s and master of sexual provocation Mae West, starred in one of her last films with Raquel Welch, spoke, that he doesn't understand, what is the beauty of such total nudity, which is promoted by the young actress, because when the mystery goes away, the dream goes away. And we remember, that May stood at the origins of film nudity and knew a lot about, how to attract everyone's attention.
Sarah Jessica Parker, "Sex and the City"
Year of creation: 1998.
In the series of images of the heroine of one of the most popular series among the female audience, you can find many stunning outfits, striking in their sexuality to one degree or another. But there is one dress in Carrie Bradshaw's wardrobe, which stands out from the rest of the images (read also: Sarah Jessica Parker and more 9 stars with unusual appearance, who have become style icons). It perfectly illustrates the principle of naked sexuality of the late 90s. We are talking about a flesh-colored “naked” dress, in which the heroine took part in a photo shoot for her column about sex.
Carrie then decided to wear it on her first date with the man of her dreams.. The nude effect created an illusion, as if the actress is wearing absolutely nothing. There is no understatement in this dress, characteristic of the “naked” dresses of the 30s. In the late 90s, nudity ceased to be a sacrament.
Monica Belluchchi, "Irreversibility"
Year of creation: 2002.
Monica Bellucci went even further in the matter of film nudity. In the French dramatic thriller directed by Gaspar Noe, she appeared almost completely naked in the frame.. Dress, in which the heroine Alex goes to a party, looks more like a nightgown, and very frank.
of course, this image serves the director's main goal, and demonstrating Bellucci’s charms is probably not the primary goal here, and a way to convey the mood. But the fact remains that in this film the transparency of outfits in its cinematic evolution reached the border with complete nudity.
Emilia Clarke, "Game of Thrones"
Year of creationI: 2011 (1-her season).
Literally in the very first frames of her appearance in the series “Game of Thrones,” actress Emilia Clarke, playing Daenerys Targaryen, appears before the audience in gray, dress barely noticeable on her fragile body. Two strips of transparent fabric are connected at her shoulders by brooches. Wherein, according to costume designer Michelle Clapton, this dress is not intended to show the eroticism of the image, and his insecurity. At this time, the heroine appears before the gaze of her future husband, the formidable Khal Drogo, and doesn't know, what awaits her ahead.
Naked nature fades into the background here, as in the film “Irreversible” with Monica Bellucci. If at the very beginning “naked” dresses were created, to draw attention to the female body, today directors are using them more and more often, to use this to realize a deeper creative idea.
