No, trust us - don't let the article image of Ora fool you - she has ditched the underwear in her patented spectacular fashion.

Ora's Donna Karan Atelier body baring gown is more demure than Shayk's offering - which we'll address imminently - but we're struggling to get past the train emanating from her bottom.

 

As for Ronaldo's ex girlfriend, model Irina Shayk, went for a variation on the theme in Atelier Versace, which is essentially a bejewelled body stocking with material on top. 

Unfortunately, one of the downsides to essentially being half naked is that it's not always possible to look graceful from every angle. 

19-year-old Model Gigi Hadid also ditched the undergarments when accompanying Cody Simpson (stealing the show thanks to his slipper motifs and the grubbiness of his hat) to the event. If you prefer the visual of carefully placed swirls rather than the 'half your get up has gone for a hop' look, Hadid's dress is Atelier Versace

Lastly, the pro at pulling off the barely there look is Heidi Klum (obvs), also in Versace

Wait, it's even more stunning from this angle...


 
Those (presumably) opting for underwear at theVanity Fair after party included Sofia Vergara, Kate Upton, Rashida Jones, Natalie Portman, and Sia doing the usualbut the look of the event went to an utterly sublime Diane Kruger in Donna Karen, proving you don't have to bare yourself entirely to make a 'statement.'
