Megan Fox has sent her fans into an online frenzy after donning a near see-through dress to the MTV VMAs.
The always exciting awards show took place last night (September 12) from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. And despite the red carpet playing host to some of the world's biggest stars wearing some of the fashion industry's biggest names, there was only one celeb who left a lasting impression: Megan Fox.
The 35-year-old Transformers star dared to bare, arriving at the awards show in a completely sheer skin-colored Thierry Mugler dress. The actor completed the look with a bedazzled thong and Jimmy Choo heels.

Walking alongside her boyfriend, 31-year-old rapper Machine Gun Kelly, Fox looked sensational, and it wasn't long before her outfit choice sent people only into a frenzy.
Check out some of our favorite tweets on the look below:
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight during the VMAs pre-show, Megan revealed that boyfriend MGK was the inspiration for the outfit, saying: "He was like, 'You're gonna be naked tonight,' and I was like 'Whatever you say, daddy.'"
"Daddy" - I can't handle it.
Another key moment for the star was when Fox introduced MGK and musician Travis Barker alongside Kourtney Kardashian.
Taking the stage, Fox told those in attendance: "New York, I need you to get extra loud for our future baby daddies."
Several social media users also compared Fox's dress to the one worn by actor Rose McGowen to the 1998 VMAs (a dress so risqué, we daren't share the pics).
Per Vulture, McGowen told Dr. Oz that she wore the iconic dress during her first public appearance after being sexually assaulted.
"That was a political statement. Of course, there was no Twitter at the time or Instagram, no way to speak for yourself," McGowen said of the dress.
Fox and Kelly started dating back in May 2020 after meeting on the set of the thriller Midnight in the Switchgrass.
Speaking about their relationship on the podcast 'Give them Lala… With Randall', Fox said: "I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame [...]
"Instead of a soul mate, a twin flame is actually where a soul has ascended into a high enough level that it can be split into two different bodies at the same time."
Awards season is far from over! Last night, Hollywood's finest attended the MTV Movie & TV Awards... and it's officially time to dress up again.

The VMAs is one of the most hotly anticipated events in the music world's calendar, and every year people tune in to see the who's who of the music world scoop up coveted prizes like Best Single and Best Music Video.
However, that's only part of the appeal, and more often than not, us Average Joes get more pleasure watching what our favorite celebs are wearing on the red carpet. While some outfits dazzle, others do not, and it's the fails that we love to see. With all the money in the world, it's hard to believe that some celebs step onto the red carpet in certain fashion fails!
Speaking of fails, this is the incredible moment John Travolta mistook a drag queen for Taylor Swift:
So, in honor of last night's ceremony, we've compiled a list of the best and worst dressed...
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift wore a bedazzled colorful jacket to this year's VMAs, paired with thigh-high boots. Needless to say, this wasn't just any jacket, but Versace.

This is a reflection of the 80s inspired outfits the country singing sensation has been wearing to promote her new album Lover, and in our opinion, it's a fashion win. You go, Tay Tay.
Lizzo
Meanwhile, Lizzo stepped onto an outfit that was giving us a mixture of the 60s and "I just killed my husband" vibes, wearing a red Jessica Rabbit-esque dress paired with a feather boa.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
This dress with the word "Siren" printed on it was made by designer Moschino, and while it's definitely a look, we think she pulls it off. Although, admittedly, unlike Taylor's outfit, it's one that could only really work at the VMAs.
This isn't a bad outfit per se, but we wouldn't call it memorable - for good or bad reasons. I mean sure, it shows off Klum's enviable assets but apart from that, it's not doing much for us.

This playsuit is by Nedo, but compared to the other outfits on this list, it's a just a bit underwhelming.
Camila Cabello
For some, their art is the great love of their lives, which is why events like Award Ceremonies can feel like weddings in their own right, something Camila Cabello took quite literally with this bridal look.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
This is a gorgeous gown and it certainly does nothing to quell the rumors of a potential romance between Cabello and Shawn Mendes. Their duet did, after all, get tongues wagging the world over.
Keke Palmer
This canary-colored gown ensured that all eyes were on Keke Palmer as she did her thing on the red carpet and that accessory she's holding to her ear made it something else.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
Yes, it's a phone - and no, we've no idea if it was simply a handbag shaped like one or an actual working device (maybe from the late 90s) and she was hitting up her friends from the red carpet.
Gigi And Bella Hadid
They might have made their names on the Victoria's Secret runway, which is currently at risk of no longer being televised, but last night these two proved they don't need the lingerie brand to be a hit on the red carpet.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
Bella Hadid is dressed in Charlotte Knowles and Gigi, Tom Ford. We love the matching nude colors the sisters chose, although we have to admit - Bella's look is slightly better than Gigi's.
2 Chainz
What I love about 2 Chainz jacket is that it looks like the kind of pattern you'd expect a grandma to knit, but in that cut and on his back, it somehow manages to look badass.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
It's just a shame that his shoes appear to be zebra print. We think it would have been a real look if they'd had the same pattern as the jacket, but I suppose you can't get everything right!
Monica
Monica really did look like the Queen of Quirky at the 2019 VMAs. It takes wearing an eyecatching pattern to a different level and that beret really is the perfect accessory.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
This dress is by designer Libertine, and if we were a betting munch, we imagine other designers will be rushing to make recreations ASAP.
Halsey
Admittedly, this is one of those looks that definitely won't be for everyone. With her leather bra, corset and underwear, Halsey could easily be an extra in Moulin Rouge.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
But we think she pulls it off. After all, life would be so much less interesting if people didn't make bold fashion choices, and she's certainly got the body for it.
Diplo
This is a yee haw look if I ever saw one, and the only way I can imagine it came about would be when a designer and a cowboy somehow collided.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
There's a lot going on when you take a closer look at it too. At the bottom of the trousers, there are markings that look like atoms, and then there are the frogs and lightning bolts. Whatever floats your boat, we guess! But it ain't for us.
Megan Thee Stallion
Leather's one item that's always been associated with badasses - from tattooists to bikers, and if this outfit's anything to go by Megan Thee Stallion's in the running for 2019's hottest biker chick.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
Basically, this is the slightly more intimidating version of Taylor Swift's outfit and we are here for it. The detail in those boots is off the scale.
Lindsey Vonn and P.K. Subban
By now you've probably worked out that thigh-high boots are very much in this year, and unfortunately, compared to the pairs we've already seen, Lindsey Vonn's are a bit underwhelming.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
That being said her raven like sleeves are pretty awesome, and everything about P.K. Subban's outfit is a winner, especially his shoes. Gold buckles for the win.
Alison Brie
This outfit was described as the "Most Overeager" look by Cosmo and we have to agree. There's really not much to it other than giving Alison Brie a chance to show off her body.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
But hey! Maybe she thought the VMAs was the perfect time to show off a sexy Maleficent look. You do you, girl. P.S. Loving the thin-strapped shoes.
Ava Max
Sometimes when you achieve great things in life, you can feel like a superhero in your own right, and clearly, this was something Ava Max wanted to channel with her look at this year's VMAs.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
Sometimes, you just have to dress like a superhero. And it's safe to say that Ava Max nailed it. After all, we can't judge all outfits by the same standards and as far as the cosplay department is concerned, this is a winner.
When you find a style that suits you, it's tempting to stick with it forever, and this is something Lenny Kravitz has done. It's a safe bet that he'll always turn up in double denim with a gold something around his neck.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
His outfit went down a storm on social media too with user @KirstenValk tweeting: "Did Lenny Kravitz make a deal with the devil?...he looks amazing..."
J Balvin
The fashion world often takes inspiration from the world of books and movies, and you'd be a liar if you didn't say J Balvin's outfit didn't remind you of a certain Austin Powers' character...
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
One Twitter user went as far as to compare J Balvin to Austin Powers' Dr. Evil. "Ok so we gonna just act like @JBALVIN doesn’t look like Dr. Evil," tweeted @mireyvmvkeup.
Veronica Vega
This is definitely an eye-catching look, but viewers of the VMAs pointed out that Veronica Vega's money dress had been done before and therefore was a fashion fail.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
"The money dress was done last year," Twitter user @starbsprincess wrote. "Where is the originality?! Even rainbow hair is boring to me now!"
Bad Bunny
This outfit makes absolutely no sense. What's with the mask? The glasses? But hey, when you're an artist, you can pretty much make your own fashion rules up - even if they make you look bizarre.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
It turns out that Bad Bunny's outfit did attract fans on social media though. "Dare I say it? The men are giving me the feels this red carpet," tweeted@TrevellAnderson, adding, "He coulda found some black shoes though."
What did you think of the fashion at this year's VMAs?
Megan Fox has hit back at critics for slamming her recent VMAs and Met Gala outfits.
The actress, 35, turned heads at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday when she wore what was dubbed her "naked" dress and again on Monday as she arrived to the Met Gala in a stunning red number, as per the Daily Star.
Now, she has taken to social media to share pictures of the two outfits and defend her fashion choices against those who have slammed them.
She captioned the Instagram post: "Just me out here ignoring and defying all of your puritanical emotionally repressed projections of what a woman should be."
The post did not go unnoticed on the social media website, and at the time of writing, it has been liked over three million times, with many fans rushing to the comments section to praise Fox for defending herself.
One fan wrote: "This is everything."

A second added: "QUEEN."

A third, like many others, simply reacted with fire emojis to support the 'Transformers' actress.

However, the internet being the internet, not everyone's response to the post was so positive.
One critic remarked: "Not actually defying anything. The patriarchy wants us to be sexual objects for men's pleasure. The only way to defy it is dressing [comfortably] without auto-codification."

A second wrote: "What about what a mother should be? Out there acting like a 16 year old girl with what daddy says whatever daddy wants you sounded like a f***in idiot in the VMA interview [sic]."

This comment is a reference to Fox's revelation that she wore the naked dress because her boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly "told" her to.
Fox said the eye-popping dress was Kelly's idea in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
"He was like, 'You're gonna be naked tonight,'" Fox said as she gestured to him. "I was like, 'Whatever you say, daddy!'"
The actress then used the interview to make the revelation that she wants to be in more of Kelly's music videos after starring alongside him in the 'Bloody Valentine' video. "He's not allowed to have other h**s in his music videos. It's the queen no one," Fox said.

The 2018 MTV Music Video Awards took place last night to celebrate the visual masterpieces that accompany today's most loved hits. Dua Lipa, Drake, and Shawn Mendes were all nominated for awards, but it was artists such as Cardi B, Nicki Minaj and Jennifer Lopez who took the trophies home.
Childish Gambino won three prizes for This Is America, and Camila Cabello was the winner of the two biggest awards – video of the year for Havana and artist of the year. Ariana Grande was up for five awards, and though she only took one home, she gave an incredible performance of God Is a Woman, inviting her cousin, her mother and her grandmother onto stage with her.
It was also a big night for Ariana due to the fact that it was her first public appearance with fiancé Pete Davidson. The two were clearly very loved-up, exchanging kisses in front of photographers on the red carpet.
Speaking of which, no reportage of an A-list event would be complete without a fashion breakdown. So without further ado, here are 15 looks from the red carpet that most deserve our attention.
