Addison Rae is a Gen Z superstar.
With nearly 89 million TikTok followers and 36.7 million Instagram fans, you'd be hard pressed to find a young person who isn't familiar with the 23-year-old influencer.
First becoming popular online for her TikTok dances, she's now a full-fledged celebrity — with movie credits to her name and friends like the Kardashian family.
And that's not to mention her standout red-carpet style, which is exceptionally bold. Here's a look at her most daring fashion moments.

For one of her first major red carpets, Addison Rae wore the ultimate little black dress to the 2020 Billboard Music Awards.
Designed by Mugler, the form-fitting gown had thin spaghetti straps, a slit across the chest, and sheer panels that extended from her waist to the bottom of its ankle-length skirt.
She wore it with strappy sandals and dark eye makeup.

The influencer then attended the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards in showstopping Christopher Esber pieces.
Rae's outfit included a black blazer, a strip of mesh across her chest worn like a bralette, a silver belly chain, and a mid-rise skirt that reached the floor.
To complete the look, she also wore a silver choker necklace, smokey eye makeup, and blonde hair.

At the 2021 amfAR Gala Los Angeles, Rae added a touch of glamour to her daring style.
Versace created her gown, which had a sparkling chest piece with a high neckline and a black satin wrap skirt that created a thigh-high slit effect.
Rae also wore statement diamond earrings and her hair slicked back in a bun.

She took a similar approach at the 2022 Vanity Fair Oscar party.
Rae looked glamorous on the red carpet wearing a '90s-style bun, sparkling makeup, and a pearl choker necklace.
But her Mônot gown gave her a slight edge. Its velvet skirt hugged her hips and created a classic silhouette, while its strapless corset top was see-through with a deep neckline.

She dazzled at the 2022 Met Gala in a backless gown.
Michael Kors created Rae's dress, which was crafted from 11,000 reflective pieces that took 350 hours to sew on. It had a halter neckline, a plunging open back, and a thin slit in the back of its skirt.
Rae completed the outfit with diamond jewels and her hair styled straight.

But her after-party look was even bolder.
Dilara Findikoglu designed Rae's second halter gown of the night. This one was entirely see-through with a deep slit across its bodice, and a flowing skirt that showed her legs as she walked.
Rae wore it with only pasties and underwear beneath it, and accessorized with sandals and sunglasses.

Rae took her affinity for deep necklines to another level at the 2022 LACMA Art + Film Gala.
Her vintage Jean Louis de Scherrer gown was covered with sparkles from top to bottom, and its scoop-style neckline plunged below her belly button.
Rae wore the brown dress with a long beaded necklace that extended down her back.
This year, Rae swapped her usual gowns for a knee-length dress.
To W Magazine's Best Performances party in February 2023, Rae wore a Paco Rabanne dress, originally from the designer's 2004 runway show, which had a bandeau-style top, knee-length skirt, and massive bodice cutouts held together with thin strings.

Rae's latest red-carpet look is one of her most sensual.
She attended the Academy Museum Gala in a lace Roberto Cavalli gown that had a plunging neckline with criss-cross straps, an open back, and a see-through skirt.
She wore it with only sandals and black underwear.
