She finds the nearly nude sort-of rude! Designer Carolina Herrera, best known for her beautiful silhouettes and classic white shirts, ripped the "almost naked" look worn by so many celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, and Jennifer Lopez, recently at red carpet events.

Herrera, 76, spoke to the Washington Post about how some of her fellow designers believe "it's so modern to be naked or almost naked" when, in fact, it's counterproductive.

"They think it's going to attract younger people if they do those dresses," she reasoned. "No! The almost naked! Oh God!"

According to Herrera, stars are doing it for publicity. "They’re trying to get people to pay attention to them," she reasoned. "In life, there should be a little mystery."

Herrera said these stars were not setting an example. "They’re supposed to be fashion icons and they’re not wearing anything," she told the paper with an "exasperated and dismayed" tone. "It’s an obsession now."

The designer noted that she's an advocate of strategically showing skin — including a plunging neckline that's precisely structured. "If it’s open so much, they look like fried eggs," she noted. "Fashion is about proportion... For me, fashion is about originality, sophistication and beauty. I’m not in the fashion business; I’m in the beauty business."

Exquisite.

I just love the cut. Quick blow dry and some styling gel to keep it all off the face, with the back kinda up and spiky. Easy peasy
