How could this be considered okay to openly suggest?

I recently came across this article from L'officiel: https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/no-underwear-celebrities-red-carpet-looks-bella-hadid

Please take a quick look at the article. This article talks about moments where celebrities were going commando on the red carpet. So in other words, they're insinuating that these celebrities were not wearing underwear. And it's due to the fact that their dresses had high slits or open side panels. I think it's inappropriate for such a reputable magazine like L'officiel to be suggesting that these celebrities were going commando.

  1. That's because first of all, most of these celebrities never actually confirmed that they were going commando. So even if you're sure that they were, you cannot really write about it in an article as if it were a fact, right? In other words, you cannot openly assume anything, right?

  2. Second of all, imagine the case where a woman is wearing low rise jeans. In this case, it would definitely be inappropriate to suggest that she was going commando. So why is there a double standard in the case of a high slit dress?

I don't understand why anyone would give a toss whether another person is wearing pants or not!

Are you tipsy OP?

Low slung jeans without knickers?
Have you seen the seam on jeans.
My fanny still hasn’t recovered from the last time I tried it. 😱😱

Okay, I understand what you mean. But to play devil's advocate, let's say there's a woman wearing ultra low rise jeans. In this case, would you say it's also obvious? Or would you say it's not as obvious?

But what exactly is there to play devil's advocate about, op? I've read the linked article, and it's a clickbaity non-event of a dull-day-at-the-office froth piece, and wasn't worthy of the 45 seconds or so time I wasted on it. Why are you so invested in this utter nonsense?

Which part of my post was unclear to you?

Pretty much all of it

Laurmolonlabe · 30/04/2026 19:51

People are interested in this stuff,so you can expect journalists to write about it -whem did you ever know them to hold back? Why expect it here?

You also don’t understand what ‘playing devil’s advocate’ means.

In these dresses, you can see that there is no strap at the side of the hip, and that is why there is speculation that the women are not wearing underwear. In low rise jeans, you can’t see the area that would hold the underwear up, so they could be wearing small underwear.

However, I think it’s pretty unlikely that the women in these dresses aren’t wearing anything. I think it’s likely to be either a modified thong or stick on thong because the chances of flashing your actual vajay in front of the paparazzi/public are very high

Clearly an AI post too

EwwPeople · 30/04/2026 20:27

Is she.. isn’t she?

Trust me… a lot of speculation took place at the time.

And I don’t really understand why it wouldn’t be OK to suggest this. It would be like suggesting someone on the red carpet isn’t wearing a bra because she’s in a strapless dress. She might be wearing a stick on or strapless bra, and it’s a bit of a non-issue to turn into an article, but it’s not an obscene suggestion

You likely "came across" that article, from 2023, by Googling "celebrities without underwear".
