Manika arrives on the Grammys red carpet in ‘the most attention seeking dress ever’

THERE’S always one who turns up wearing next to nothing and this year it was Manika, who admitted she had “forgotten” her clothes.

THERE’S always one star who decides to turn up wearing next to nothing on the red carpet in a bid for some free publicity, and this year that award goes to Manika.

The 22-year-old American singer, who isn’t up for a Grammy this year, wore a bizarre sheer “dress” which exposed her bare bottom to all and sundry at music’s most prestigious event.

UK’s The Mirror said the singer turned up minus her underwear in “what can only be described as the most attention seeking dress ever.”

Manika, known for her single I Might Go Lesbian (a collaboration with Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend Tyga) wasn’t afraid to admit her outfit strategy to her 1.14m followers on Twitter, which was to “keep them guessing.”

“Almost.. naked ;)” she added, saying she felt “sexy” in her revealing outfit.

She also responded to her critics by saying: “Love me or hate me, I’ve still got you talking,” later adding, “Really?! OMG! You’re right ... I must have forgotten my clothes at home. I didn’t realise until you told me,” when someone suggested she forgot to get dressed.

Manika’s dress was handmade by designer Arthur Christine and was inspired by her home town, Vegas and singer Cher, but others simply thought it looked like a belly dancing outfit.

Despite her best efforts to steal the show, Manika wasn’t the only one who copped a bit of flak for her Grammys look.

Skylar Grey wore a strange webbed number, while Z La La gave off major arachnid vibes.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga will be trying hard for most of the night not to break her ankle in her gigantic platform shoes.

The singer, who will perform a David Bowie tribute at the Grammys just days after getting a picture of the singer tattooed on her torso, appeared to also channel the singer in her fashion and overall eccentric look.

Check out those platforms.

Jacqueline Van Bierk chose pink shoes to go with this look.

Tove Lo was also the subject of criticism, donning a large septum ring with dangling accessory (which should makes things difficult at meal time), while Dencia arrived in an embellished Hello Kitty onesie.
