  • The Cannes Film Festival in France is often associated with celebrities in glamorous gowns.

  • But some actors, models, and influencers take a different approach and wear "naked" fashion.

  • Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid are just some stars who have participated in the skin-baring trend.

Always a trendsetter, Naomi Campbell attended the 2007 Cannes Film Festival in a semi-sheer minidress.
