Kelsea Ballerini flashed the flesh in a daringly see-through gown as she attended the starry Fashion Trust US Awards on Tuesday.
Thrown at a private home in Los Angeles, the exclusive affair was meant to honor some of the up-and-coming figures in the fashion scene.
Among the many boldface names to lend a dash of showbiz glamour to the affair, Kelsea was an unforgettable presence in a flesh-flashing ensemble.
The 30-year-old modeled a tantalizingly sheer black lace gown that hinted at her pert derriere as she swung round to let the cameras see her from behind.
From that angle, she also revealed that her dress was backless – and she also treated the pH๏τographers to her winning smile by throwing a glance over her shoulder.
Kelsea had opted for a skinтιԍнт black number that featured a corset-style top, throwing her hourglᴀss frame into relief.
Her blonde hair was slicked тιԍнтly down, drawing attention to her luminous complexion, which she brought out with naturalistic makeup.
Kelsea was part of an impressively celebrity-strewn guest list that evening, with megawatt names ranging from Paris Hilton to Alessandra Ambrosio in attendance.
Tuesday night’s award show was held by the Fashion Trust US, a non-profit organization which recognizes and supports emerging design talent.
The gala event was hosted by actress Zooey Deschanel with honorees in categories including ready-to-wear, jewelry, and accessories.
