Peekaboo dresses raise eyebrows at awards show

SINGAPORE - Stars sizzled on the red carpet at the Star Awards Show 2 held Sunday evening at the Marina Bay Sands.

Gone were the irreverent outfits and colourful hairstyles which marked previous awards ceremonies; glamour is back in style.

Constance Song, in particular, stood out in her bold peekaboo Jiki dress held together by a sheer panel running down the front and back.

Her modesty was protected only by a crystal-embellished mesh fabric which ran from the belly-button downwards.

But Song was hardly worried about the dangers of her risque choice as she told The New Paper, "I wasn't worried that I would reveal too much because when I move, the dress doesn't move at all."

Joanne Peh, who won Best Actress for her role in A Tale of 2 Cities that night, also titillated, revealing her gams in an electric-purple Bottega Venata number with a plunging neckline.

She later changed into a shiny silver dress, which was criticised for being too revealing.

Other stars like Michelle Chia opted for a black lacy number by Shanghai-based Frenchman Yannick Machedo.

She revealed that there's no inner lining for the dress, only extra lace that covered the strategic spots.
