Rihanna went sheer at the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Awards in a look from Givenchy’s fall 2008 Couture collection. The dress featured lace appliqué and a high-neck silhouette. Rihanna is always amazing, and so was her time at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in this gothic lace number. The beauty is what really sells it here, giving it a very hardcore edge. She’s a winner.

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande looked to Rat & Boa for her 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards look, choosing a satin halterneck top with ring detail and matching skirt. Grande’s midriff-baring silky number is sexy and extremely flattering on her. Purple silk screams mother-of-the bride, but her cool attitude turns it into fashion star.

Megan Thee Stallion put a sensual spin on Old Hollywood glamour in Julian Mendez Couture at the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards, wearing an asymmetric velvet dress with a wing-tipped bra cup and sheer detail around the bodice. This is Megan the Stallion’s mega-glam Hollywood moment. She’s channeling Rita Hayworth, and it really suits her. The smokey cat eye and wavy hair really plays to her advantage.
