SHEER DELIGHT

From Heidi Klum to Mel B, we rate the celebs who tackled summer’s hottest trend… the see-through dress

The look is all over the red carpet but can be tricky to pull off

WE can see straight through you, Heidi Klum. The model, 44, was bang on trend wearing a sheer dress to the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. The look is all over the red carpet but can be tricky to pull off.

Here, we reveal who looks great . . . and who looks a right mesh.

Paris Jackson - 4/10

PARIS, 19, lived up to her kooky reputation at the VMAs with this look, teaming a skirt with big undies and hairy armpits – nice.

Hailey Baldwin - 8/10

SO bodystockings can work – at least on stunning models like Hailey, 20, who flashed her pants in a skimpy lace outfit.

Vanessa Hudgens - 5/10

THE 28-year-old’s red dress for the VMAs does nothing for us. Actress Vanessa looks as if she’s been tarred and feathered. Hopefully no birds were harmed in the making of it.

Heidi Klum - 9/10

PROVING age is no barrier to making the trend work, Heidi’s barely-there dress had sheer front with its embroidered design. If we could pull it off, we would wear it too.

Nicole Scherzinger - 6/10

JUDGING by this, Nicole, 39, slightly missed the mark posing in clear mesh trousers for her role on The X Factor.

Mel B - 2/10

A gem of an outfit... or not, in Mel's case

NOTHING but a few gems cover up 42- year-old Mel’s modesty here. It’s one way to show an ex what he’s missing . . . or not.

Demi Lovato - 3/10

FROM the lace top to her Aladdin trousers, everything about the 25-year-old singer’s look is a mismatched mess at the VMAs.

Kate Beckinsale - 10/10
