Joanna Krupa goes bra-less under sheer dress at CHARITY gala

She is hardly known for her discretion, regularly wearing see-through attire or posing in her bikini.
But Joanna Krupa may have taken things a bit far at a charity event on Saturday night.
The 34-year-old went bra-less under a daring sheer metallic black and gold gown as she attended the Humane Society of the United States 60th Anniversary Benefit Gala in Los Angeles.

The Real Housewives of Miami star’s breasts were visible in the slinky number, while it also appeared she sported pasties over her nipples.
Joanna also exposed her toned back in the dress, which featured a turtleneck, long sleeves, and a sweeping train.
The gown was designed by Project Runway alum Michael Costello, who also created Beyonce’s sheer white floral lace gown that she wore to the Grammys in January.
Joanna Instagrammed a selfie from the event, with the facetious caption, ‘Omg I was just told by the paparazzi at HSUS 60 th anniversary that my @michaelcostello31 dress is seethrough! Does it in this pic?!!’
The Polish model wore her long blonde hair straightened and swept back in a high ponytail, highlighting her blue eyes with plenty of black mascara, whilst going simple on the lips with a coat of gloss.
The event she attended honours the news and entertainment media for raising awareness of animal issues.
This year, the Genesis Awards recognised the best in media coverage for animals in 2013, with Relativity Media’s Free Birds winning Best Feature Film and Magnolia Pictures/CNN Films’ Blackfish winning Best Documentary Film.
Animated film Free Birds, featuring the voices of Owen Wilson, Amy Poehler, and Woody Harrelson, has otherwise received a generally negative critical response.
Meanwhile, Joanna has reportedly run into financial trouble and according to TMZ, her home is now at risk because she 'owes a fortune in back mortgage'.
A bank has filed foreclosure documents, which TMZ claims to have obtained, which notify her that her home is 'going up for auction, because she's failed to pay nearly $725,000 she owes.'
The pretty blonde has other problems to deal with as her show is reportedly on the chopping block.
TMZ reports that 'Joanna has tried to switch to Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, but they are told that producers don't want her.'
When asked about the possible move by MailOnline earlier this year, Joanna played coy and replied 'I don't know.'
She splits her time between Miami and Los Angeles, but the reality star did recently profess her love for the Sunshine State.

'I love Miami - it's one of my homes,' she told E! News. 'I appreciate the show as it saved my relationship and led to a beautiful, fairytale wedding. That's why I love Bravo and the show's producers: they made it happen.'

Kim Kardashian Wears Another See-Through Dress

Kim Kardashian appeared on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" on Tuesday, March 25, in yet another see-through dress -- a curve-hugging number on top of a matching black bra and high-waisted underwear.

It's a look Kardashian has now rocked on multiple occasions, but on last night's show she was there to talk about one thing, and that was her game-changing Vogue cover with fiance Kanye West.

"Just to be in the same name as so many amazing people that have been on the cover is such an honor," Kardashian said when asked if it means a lot to her to be on the cover of Vogue. "And to have Anna Wintour pick us, and I know it's the first of a lot. They were telling us, Kanye is the first rapper to be on, and I'm the first reality person to be on, and the first inter-racial couple. All of these just mean so much to Kanye and I."


Kardashian also revealed that in addition to the Vogue shoot being a total dream come true, it was also just another day when it comes to taking care of her daughter North West. The 33-year-old explained that one adorable photo, which features the family lounging together with the 10-month-old laying naked on her father's chest,actually got a little messy: "North peed on him, right at that moment. He was trying to tell me and I couldn't really hear him and I had to get up and get her -- clean her and clean him off."

January Jones follows Beyonce's lead in the Topshop dress taking Hollywood by storm

Stars have access to fashion the average woman can only dream about.
But, despite having every designer clamoring to dress them, it seems January Jones and Beyonce are fans of clothing chain chic too.
January stepped out the red carpet in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday night looking stunning in a very familiar striped dress.

The black and white satin A-line frock was the same dress that graced the famous curves of Queen B just two weeks ago.
Clearly a fashion favourite already, the striking dress was not by any big designer but instead by high street chain Topshop and cost just $140 (or £70 in UK branches).
However, fans looking to replicate the two stars' style may already be out of luck, as the dress is currently sold out online.
While the same dress, the famous pair did wear it slightly.

For Thursday's second annual Rebels with a Cause gala, the 36-year-old Mad Men star wore her Topshop creation as if it was just off the rack, with the dress' sleeves worn loose and just above her elbow, and the skirt's hemline skimming below her mid-thigh.
When Beyonce stepped out in the same black and white striped look on March 6, the 32-year-old's stylist had obviously made a few quick alterations.
Heading out for a late night celebration with Jay Z at the members only Arts Club in London, the signer's dress had a noticeably shorter hemline and its sleeves had also been altered to be shorter and tighter fitting cap sleeves.
While the dress may have not made much of an impact on the stars' wallets, it did help January to stand out as she walked the red carpet at the charity event.
The mother of one - two-year-old Xander- accessorised the look with simple black dual strapped heels and a metallic silver clutch.
Skipping jewellery besides black lightening shaped earrings, the star added a pop of colour to the look by wearing bright red lipstick and nails.
Obviously getting the less is more memo, Anna Kendrick also shunned colour wearing a little black dress down the carpet.
The Pitch Perfect star's gown featured a number of different elements - including a ribbed fabric, high neck and a circle skirt - but still managed to look simple and subtle.
Allowing a hint of colour to sneak in, the patent heel-wearing 28-year-old added a emerald clutch and matching earrings.
Also sticking to the colour palette was Alice Eve, who wore an all-black floor length gown, and Molly Shannon, in a black and white tight optical illusion dress.
Other celebrities to attend this year's event - which supports the lifesaving research of David B. Agus, M.D., Director, USC Westside Cancer Center and USC Center for Applied Molecular Medicine - included John Stamos, Jimmy Kimmel, Bob Saget and Barry Manilow.
One person not subscribing to looking understated on the carpet, was Pharrell Williams, who once again wore one of his signature Vivienne Westwood hats - this time in green.

The Happy star also wore a pair of shoes specially designed with what appeared to be children's drawings on themchildren's drawings on them.

Keira Knightley won't save wedding dress

Keira Knightley is proud she chose to wear an old dress for her wedding.
The 28-year-old actress married musician James Righton in France last year and much has been made of the Chanel outfit she wore. The dress was an old favourite of the star's, although designer Karl Lagerfeld created a new jacket for her.
She's proud she didn't splash out mega bucks on a wedding gown, although she won't pressurise any children she has to do the same.
"I don't know. I'm not sure I'm into that," she told British newspaper The Telegraph, when asked if she is saving her dress. "Can you imagine, say, your daughter is a different shape or she doesn't like it, and all of a sudden you're giving her pressure of wearing your dress?"
Keira had worn her short frock many times before her big day and has donned it since then too. Unfortunately one of those times resulted in red wine being flung all over the nude piece - something she is philosophical about.
"I didn't quite realise the extent of it until I got home. It's quite impressively splattered," she laughed. "But, hey, a good night is a good night and when a dress has had its time, maybe it's had its time. I'm pretty sure I can get it out but, if I can't, I'm happy with the memory of a good night and the story of how the dress got destroyed."
Keira's mother is a playwright and her dad is an actor. She asked for an agent when she was just three, although she admits she didn't really know what one was at that point.
"Everyone in the house seemed to have one, so I thought I should too," she giggled.
When she was six she began winning roles and her parents realised they could use her love of acting to their advantage. Keira has dyslexia and found school hard, so they promised that if she kept studying hard they would let her audition for roles.
Having dyslexia made the star want to strive for success, although recently her priorities have shifted.

"[I was] very single-minded. I'm feeling rather a lack of it [being single-minded] now. It's not there as much, which isn't because I think I've achieved everything I want to. It's just because life changes. I'm looking at life around me, at other sh*t," she explained.

Pixie wears migraine inducing graphic print dress and heavy make-up as she leaves ITV studios

Gorgeous girl: The singer looked radiant as she left the venue with minimal make-up and glossy hair
She’s always been one step ahead when it comes to fashion, but for Pixie Lott it may well have been one step forward, two steps back when she left ITV studios in London on Thursday.
The 23-year-old old is currently promoting her eponymous third album, to be released in May, and Motown infused lead single Nasty – which was released on March 10.
But leaving the London studios following an appearance on daytime chat show Loose Women it was Pixie’s wardrobe that cried out for attention as she sashayed towards a waiting car.
The songstress caught the eye in an unforgettable ankle-length dress with a vibrant printed design comprised of diamond shapes in a myriad of clashing colours.
Pixie complimented the dress, and added an unnecessary splash of additional colour, courtesy of her neon green handbag, while strappy white shoes rounded things off.
The hit-maker enhanced the look with striking, Geisha style white foundation, and its liberal application made her bold use of blood red lipstick all the more dramatic.
As always Pixie’s hair was loose and naturally parted, falling across her shoulders in two golden curtains as she greeted spectators before making an exit.
The singer wads making an appearance on Loose Women, where she performed her latest single – Pixie’s first release since 2012 single Kiss The Stars.
Despite mixed results outside ITV on Thursday, Pixie scooped the Most Stylish Award as she attended the 5th Annual Rodial Beautiful Awards at St Martins Lane Hotel on Monday evening.
Naturally the young singer dressed up for the occasion and wore a typically eye-catching dress which looked like it had come straight from the Eighties.
Pixie looked delighted with her award and posed up with her fellow winner, which included Daisy Lowe and Jameela Jamil.

On Thursday night, the singer headed to the launch of Karl Lagerfeld's first London store and fragrance in London's Regent street.

It's time to get waisted: Top tips to trim your tum and beat the bloat

DRESS TO IMPRESS
Daily Express fashion features editor CLAIRE BRAYFORD says using clever clothing is the fastest way to slim down
WHEN it comes to waist management fashion is definitely the quickest solution.
Most women who want to slim their middle will try to physically suck in their tummies with a broad belt over the top of a dress or jumper.
However not only is this look dated, you can often end up with unsightly bulges.
A subtler, smarter alternative is to consider the cut and fabric of your clothes.
Start with tummy control pants and a good bra to define and smooth the waist area.
Then, whatever you’re wearing think about your waistline. Most importantly, this means wearing nothing that finishes on your hips.
If it’s jeans you want to wear, make sure it is a high-waisted skinny or straight-leg pair.
If it’s a jacket, choose a flared or boxy cut that is cropped at your middle.
For skirts, try either the fit and flare – narrow at the waist and full in the skirt – or a ruffle-hem pencil that fits over the hips and then flares out around the knees.
If you are apple shaped avoid wrap dresses. They only suit an hourglass figure.
A peplum is a great trick for adding volume at your hips and tricking the eye into thinking your waist is tinier than it is.
Finally, don’t overlook the fabric.
When we want to look slim we tend to think “suck it in with Lycra” but this is rarely flattering.
Tailored wool, luxurious silk, lace or a fine knit will skim the figure and they are so much more appealing.
You don’t need a waist as slim as Keira Knightley’s to look great.
Just make sure that when you look at your silhouette in a full-length mirror before you go out, your middle is the slimmest part of your body.
EAT TO BEAT THE BLOAT
SIAN PORTER, nutritionist for the British Dietetic Association, says that when it comes to a flat stomach it’s not just what you eat but how you eat it that matters GOOD manners are essential for good digestion.
When your grandmother told you to sit up straight at the dinner table she might have been on to something.

Eating yoghurt can be a great way to beat the bloat [GETTY]
When you eat sitting up straight your digestive system aligns, allowing food to pass through more freely in comparison to scoffing food hunched over a desk.
Never chew food with your mouth open, as you gulp in air at the same time, which bloats you.
Chewing gum with your mouth open has a similar effect as well as looking unsightly.
When it comes to food, having an adequate fibre intake is essential for good digestion.
However it can bloat some people so add it into your diet gradually.
Bio yogurts are advisable because they provide the necessary good bacteria your digestive system needs in order to work efficiently.
Some vegetables can bloat you and these include onions, broccoli, cabbage, sprouts and cauliflower.
They react with bacteria in the stomach causing them to produce excess gas.
So avoid them if you are susceptible to this.
DE-STRESS AND GET MOVING
Celebrity personal trainer CHRISTIANNE WOLFF has created an at-home workout to enhance your six pack.
STRESS can be a big factor in why people find it hard to have a trim midriff. When you are stressed or tired your body releases the hormone cortisol and that can make you put on weight around your middle.
So the more you control stress levels and sleep better, the less fat your stomach could potentially hold.

Sadly you cannot reduce fat in just one area. When you lose weight it tends to come off the leaner places first so unfortunately, if you are an apple shape, the chances are you will lose weight off your stomach last.
However the right exercise regime can help you tone the area and promote fat loss.
An ideal routine would include three cardio sessions per week plus one yoga or Pilates class.
Dancing is great for whittling down your waist, especially zumba and salsa which force you to work your hips and abdominals.
There are also some good exercises you can do at home.
Your stomach area is made up of your rectus abdominis (six pack) and your transverse abdominis (corset muscles underneath) and both need to be worked to have a beautifully flat stomach and nipped-in waist.
One easy exercise that anyone can do is to pull in your stomach as you exhale. As you breathe out, imagine you are doing up a tight pair of trousers and suck your tummy in. Repeat up to 100 times.
Plank exercises are good for working your transverse muscles.
Start down on the mat on your forearms and knees then slowly extend both feet backwards until you are resting your weight on the balls of your feet and on your forearms.
Hold this position for 30 seconds, making sure to engage your abs without pushing your bottom in the air.
Sit-ups on the Swiss exercise ball are great for working the six pack.
Sit on the ball, walk your feet forward until your lower back is on the ball and reach forward and back. Aim to do 20.
Finally, reverse curls are ideal to tone up the lower abdominal muscles.

Lie on your back with your legs in the air. Pulling your abs in, lift your bottom off the floor, pushing upwards. Aim to do 20 and build up from there.

Highlights from London Fashion Week

Discover London Fashion Week’s highlights for the season ahead. Lisa Haynes rounds up the action from the front row.
The style merry-go-round of clothing collections has stopped spinning for another season.Over five whirlwind days, 77 designers showcased their Autumn/Winter 2014 collections at London Fashion Week.
And an estimated 5,000 show-goers braved stormy weather (in sandals and bare legs) to be there.
These are the 10 moments that stopped us in our high-heeled tracks:
LFW 1
Bob on the Tyne
They’re used to late-running catwalks but the style set’s journey from New York to London Fashion Week had a delayed start following a detour to avoid high winds. A plane packed with fashion press, high profile models and US Vogue editor Anna Wintour was diverted to Newcastle on Fashion Week’s first day. Anna and co. either bedded down in Newcastle overnight or began the long journey south to London, making big, dark sunglasses a must-have accessory for disguising dark circles.
Bag lady
She’s reigned the runways for a couple of seasons but Cara Delevingne is still in vogue. The ultimate It girl accolade? Mulberry announced they were naming a handbag after her. Not just one, but an entire Cara for Mulberry Collection, including a limited edition inspired by the model’s lion tattoo. Cara made other notable appearances at Burberry and Giles, where she walked and filmed her way down the runway using a mobile phone – the first ever live ‘selfie’ video taken by a model on the catwalk.
Paparazzi pleasers
Photographers swarmed at Burberry when Hollywood heart-throb Bradley Cooper took his front row seat. Fresh from the Baftas, the actor watched his model girlfriend Suki Waterhouse walk the runway. The couple later glammed up to attend the Tom Ford show together. A paparazzi scrum surrounded the celeb-studded Block G at Topshop Unique to snap the famous front row. Kardashian, Kendall Jenner sat next to Anna Wintour while brand boss Philip Green talked shop with Kate Moss who’s set to launch a Topshop collection in May.
Blanket brigade
From faux rain to falling petals, Burberry’s finales are always a fashion spectacle. Led by Cara Delevingne, the Burberry model army for AW14 stormed the catwalk in personalised ponchos, each brandishing the model’s bold initials. “I wanted everything to be feminine but with strong coats and big ponchos – it all had an earthy artiness to it,” said chief creative officer Christopher Bailey. The soundtrack was provided live by Paloma Faith belting out Only Love Can Hurt Like This.
Statement prints
The latest way to wear your lipstick or clutch bag? On your clothing. Glamorous applique motifs heralded a maximalist approach for AW14. House of Holland showcased a co-ordinating jacket and skirt with sparkling embellished lipsticks for a red on red statement. Both Holly Fulton and Osman went hands-free with dresses and skirts featuring oversized manicured fingers carrying clutch bags.
Supermarket sweep
Accessories designer Anya Hindmarch went wild in the aisles with household brand names on handbags. A giant barcode complete with conveyor belt catwalk provided the setting for her ‘Counter Culture’ collection. Recognisable Daz, Frosties and Kellogg’s Corn Flakes ‘packets’ were transformed into statement bags carried by models in detergent-bright whites. As the front row totted up their shopping list for next season, dapper salesmen danced like Fred Astaire during the finale.
Putting on the glitz
Some shows are more party than catwalk and Julien Macdonald knows how to celebrate in style. In the grand setting of The Royal Courts of Justice, the star wattage of the celeb-packed front row almost outshone the dazzling dresses. Fellow Strictly Come Dancing star Abi Clancy’s dance costumes may have been the inspiration for the beaded and sequinned showgirls that stormed the runway, transforming the venue into a house of disco.
Natty neckwear
Look out for foundation marks, high-necks are the neckline to covet for next season. In a trend that was also high on the agenda at New York, a whole host of designers championed the funnel neck for Fall. Digital trend tracker, EDITD placed turtle necks in their London Fashion Week top 10, spotted at (brace yourselves) Peter Pilotto, Paul Smith, Topshop Unique, Holly Fulton, Pringle, Joseph and House of Holland.
Red carpet moment
A cinematic buzz surrounded the Baftas halfway through Fashion Week, and Erdem carried the awards season vibe through with his elegant collection. Models padded down a plush deep red carpet wearing embellished Nicholas Kirkwood heels and flats. Dresses were worthy of A-lister or royal wardrobe appointment with luxurious metallic brocades, sparkling appliques, and figure-skimming velvet black dresses.
Ruffling feathers

Remember Carrie Bradshaw’s oversized flower corsage? John Rocha’s mega-ruffle accessories for AW14 make it look positively subtle. His collection didn’t just embrace ruffles, the designer practically shrouded models in them. Sculpted from layers of organza, dress and coat creations included statement capes, corsage belts and even headdresses with giant matching hats that floated down the runway.
