WOULD you dare to bare on a night out?

Sheer, flesh-tone frocks were a hit at Oscars after-parties, with Victoria’s Secret Angels Alessandra Ambrosio  and Adriana Lima among the stars to step out in them.

While you need to be brave to try the nearly naked trend, you don’t need a blockbuster budget.

CIGDEM TANRIOGLU asked model Lillie Bernie, 23, from North-West London, to give her verdict on these six looks  and reveal her fig-leaf rating for how much flesh each one flashes.

Pink mesh body, £69,
Nude skirt, £189,
Shoes,

I like the skirt but not with the top. There’s only so much skin you can show.

Fig-leaf rating: 3/5

8

Silver mesh dress, £38,
Nude strapless bra, £28,
Nude knickers, £16 for 3,

I’d rather wear this over a slip dress or a bikini than on its own.

Fig-leaf rating: 5/5

8

Plunge neck glitter dress, £29.99,

Sexy without revealing too much. Perfect for attention seekers.

Fig-leaf rating: 3/5

8

Pink long sleeve bandage dress, £55,

I fear there will be a nip slip. Great for less busty women.

Fig-leaf rating: 3/5

8

Nude camisole dress with built in body, £15,

It fits well and shows off your shape without being too much.

Fig-leaf rating: 2/5

8

Strappy mesh, £18,

It’s more appropriate for the bedroom. I’m worried I might pop out.
