CHER

During the 1974 Grammy Awards, everyone stopped at the sight of Cher as she displayed her slim frame in an all-white ensemble with shiny embellishments.

The “Stop Crying Your Heart Out” songstress looked like she just stepped out of a fairytale book as she dressed in a white bikini-style top with a halter-like string design and a sheer white shawl.

Cher’s clothing, which exposed her toned core, also had a shiny green and purple butterfly in the center, which matched the oversize accessory on her hair.

The following year, the “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” artist wowed the crowd with what could be the most iconic dress in history. Lopez looked gorgeous in a green sheer Versace dress with leaf prints.

Although the dress reached the floor, it was see-through for most parts and flaunted her bare core with an incredibly deep plunging neckline that had people staring.
