Wardrobe malfunctions are the stuff of celebrity nightmares,
unless you're a rock star who apparently doesn't get embarrassed by anything. Speaking
of shamelessness, check out these stars who've admitted they don't wear underwear.
When Kelly Clarkson was crowned the first winner of American Idol in 2002, she had no idea just how
much of a star she would become. To mark the anniversary of her win in 2020, she tweeted,
And that wasn't the only time she looked back at the show that made her a star. In fact,
she once shared a very intimate detail about her time on American Idol that shocked fans. As
reported by Page Six, during an event in 2008, Clarkson got real with reporters by asking,
She also proudly admitted that she went underwear-free the whole time she was on
American Idol. Was it possible that going commando helped her win the
whole thing? Either way, Clarkson always wants to be comfortable wherever she is,
in every way possible. As she admitted to reporters in 2012,
Before Kim Kardashian launched the shapewear line SKIMS, she was never really a fan of
underwear. She once admitted to Rolling Stone that during her partying days alongside Paris Hilton,
she usually didn't wear anything underneath her outer clothes. Thankfully during this time,
she never fell victim to the paparazzi snapping a shot of her as she stepped out of a car,
which unfortunately did happen to the likes of Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.
In 2015, Kardashian talked with Cara Delevingne for LOVE Magazine about
how she'd recently gotten back into the skivvies game. As she revealed,
Hopefully whatever Kardashian is wearing now,
it suits her well enough whenever she needs a bathroom break.
"Skims has given comfort and support to millions of women of all shapes and sizes,
but we're just getting started."
If you've ever seen Christina Aguilera perform live, chances are she wasn't wearing anything
underneath her wardrobe. The pop star has openly admitted that she isn't a fan of underwear and
that she instead likes to go commando. In 2012, she stopped by Chelsea Lately
in the wake of host Chelsea Handler joking on an earlier episode with Blake Shelton
about how Aguilera isn't a fan of pants. So during Aguilera's appearance, she shot back,
To Aguilera's delight, Handler walked out without any pants, with the singer responding,
"You're in pop star mode right now, never seen it."
"I don't know how you do it, girl."
And during the interview, Aguilera also made it clear that she prefers not to
deal with the garments that typically go under the pants, as she admitted:
"I like to be as free as possible at all times. So, you know, I mean, you know,
it's- it's just who I am. I'm a free flower."
You won't ever see Octavia Spencer wearing the highest heels or the
tightest dress on a red carpet, and the same goes for shapewear,
and even underwear. As far as she's concerned, comfort is key. While talking with People
Magazine at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2017, she opined:
"Ladies, it's not worth it. Too much underwear. We don't need to even say what underwear it is.
Just don't wear too much of it."
And at the 2017 Golden Globes,
Spencer kept her word while walking the red carpet wearing a Laura Basci suit that
allowed her to skip her underclothes. As she revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show,
Spencer also discussed how her fashion style has changed over
the years, with the mantra that comfort is key. As she put it,
Colton Underwood became one of the most talked-about stars from a certain reality
franchise ever since he was labeled "The World's Most Famous Virgin" during Becca
Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette. He went on to be the lead in the 23rd
season of The Bachelor and made a reputation for himself as one of
the sharpest dressers on the show. As he revealed to Footwear News in 2019,
Underwood also revealed a more intimate detail about his fashion choices, as he admitted,
Underwood and Cassie Randolph ultimately broke things off in May 2020 after he gave her his
final rose, but they reportedly ended things on good terms. However, TMZ later reported that
Randolph had filed a restraining order against him, which was later dropped. Following the split,
Underwood came out as gay during an interview on Good Morning America. He shared that he was
very much in love with Randolph, which made coming out especially difficult for him.
"I would just say that I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart."
Kate Beckinsale left little to the imagination when she attended the 2018 GQ Men of the Year
Awards in a red and black dress by British designer Julien Macdonald. The flowing gown
resembled a tropical caftan that made heads turn with its swimsuit-style top that exposed plenty
of skin. If that ensemble had you wondering what kind of very particular undergarment
one would have to find to fit under such a unique silhouette, the answer may very well be nothing.
As it turns out, the star of the Underworld films has made it quite
clear that she's not really into underwear. In a 2011 interview, she revealed to Maxim,
And during a 2008 appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Beckinsale confessed that she
wasn't wearing any underwear after her microphone fell off and she had nothing to hook it on to.
"When you said you were going commando, I thought I would,
too, so there was nothing to hook them on, so it fell out."
"I just- well, never mind."
Emma Thompson brilliantly transformed into the villainous Baroness for 2021's Cruella,
but she took issue with one piece of her character's wardrobe. During an
appearance on the British talk show Lorraine, the conversation turned
to the underwear she had to sport for the role, which she described as "like
a torture item." Then she delved into her feelings about any and all underclothing.
"I stopped wearing underwear a long time ago. It's not my scene. I don't like comfortable underwear."
Thompson also described her underthings for her Cruella costume as "industrial" and
revealed that it felt like squeezing herself into a tube of toothpaste.
"If you squeeze it hard enough, then things will come up and go down and make the shapes,
but it's like you're dealing with a Plasticine person."
While playing a round of "Burning Questions" on a 2020 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show,
Jamie Foxx opened up about some of his most personal habits. When the
host asked him to name one of the ways he embarrasses his kids, he replied,
Foxx tried to change the subject, but a visibly amused DeGeneres interjected,
"No kid wants to see their dad walking around with no underwear."
Speaking of awkward family moments, Foxx joined forces with his daughter Corinne
for the Netflix sitcom Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!,
which was inspired by some of their real-life cringeworthy father-daughter moments.
Of all the people on this list, perhaps the least
shocking is the Mother Monster herself. As Lady Gaga once told the Daily Star,
However, in another interview with Rolling Stone,
the pop star sang a slightly different tune, as she admitted,
Evidently, Lady Gaga wanted all her Little Monsters to dance around in their undies
when she released her 2020 Chromatica, as she sold a set of limited-edition merchandise that
included briefs and thongs. The items were a hit with her fans,
with Insider reporting that those green briefs and the pink thong were the most popular.
Gaga has actually worn skivvies, and just skivvies, out in public on several
occasions. Perhaps the most notable was the time when she changed out of a bright pink
ball gown into a black bra, panties, and a pair of sky-high platform boots at the 2019 Met Gala.
Everyone has their own opinions on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and for Kim Cattrall,
that includes going without any underwear. In a 2010 interview with Look Magazine,
the Sex and the City alum recommended that more women follow in her footsteps, as she declared,
"I don't wear underwear."
Not only was Cattrall happy to offer her very own wellness tips,
she also revealed that she's content with growing old, as she proclaimed,
Cattrall has also noted that she makes a point to
stay free of nips and tucks. As she once told Reveal Magazine,
Lenny Kravitz has been releasing music since the 80s. One of the most memorable performances of his
career occurred in Stockholm, Sweden in 2015, but it wasn't the music that made that night
so unforgettable. While rocking out onstage, the rock star's leather pants split, which
resulted in him exposing himself to the crowd, as he was in fact not wearing any underwear.
Kravitz took the wardrobe malfunction all in stride, though. He even tweeted
a screengrab of a text message from Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, who told him,
While this accidental exposure may be among the most embarrassing celebrity wardrobe
malfunctions ever, Kravitz doesn't really see it that way. During a 2017 interview with Mr. Porter,
he admitted that he isn't a fan of underwear, and further revealed,
Then he laughed about the Stockholm incident and added,
