Singer FKA Twigs bares all as she goes nude in totally see-through dress at NME Awards | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
Singer and musician FKA Twigs braved the cold in a completely sheer grey dress on Wednesday night, leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination. The risqué garment was in a ripped, frayed style and featured an opaque panel over the top of her chest in dark grey.
But underneath that, all the material was completely see-through as it cascaded down her toned body.
The daring asymmetrical dress cut off above the knee and Twigs paired it with grey heeled sandals.
Around her neck was a choker with the word “beast” emblazoned on it.
The open back of the dress was navy and featured frayed chunks of the dress falling away.
Tears in the Club hitmaker Twigs picked up the coveted Godlike Genius Award at the NME bash.
The gong has previously been won by stars including Liam Gallagher, Emily Eavis and Pet Shop Boys.
For her outstanding contribution to music, the 34-year-old became the youngest ever recipient of the award.
“What an absolute honour to have won the NME Godlike Genius Award,” said Twigs. “To see my name amongst the iconic likes of The Clash, The Cure and Blondie is unreal!
“I think it’s iconic – I wasn’t sure I was an icon before [seeing the photo] but I’m sure now,” she joked to NME.
“I’ve hugged Junior and Princess. Has Dua Lipa done that? Has The Weeknd? Has Post Malone?
“No, they haven’t, so no one’s got anything on me now!”
The star, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, has also performed as a backing dancer for Jessie J, Kylie Minogue and Ed Sheeran before embarking on her successful solo career.
She has previously revealed the funny story behind her stage name – she was nicknamed ’Twigs’ because of how her bones cracked.
But another artist was using Twigs as their stage name, so she changed her moniker to have FKA in front of it to stand for ‘formerly known as’.
Twigs tweeted in 2014: “I want to clarify that twigs is not a character that ive created, twigs and tahliah are one and the same.
“1 girl, 1 personality, 2 names.”
