With all of the wardrobe malfunctions that happen it really amazes me that so many female celebs for whatever reason don't wear underwear. How many have had their crotch or breasts gotten pictures of while getting out of a car or while dancing or doing a performance or what have you? I would think this would make them more conscious of it yet it doesn't seem to stop them.

I am just curious why knowing how many cameras and video recording devices people bring whenever they are around especially to big events why so many don't wear bras and panties considering.

Pretty sure that's by design. They want it to happen. Publicity, ya know?

I am not a woman but the obvious answer is that the undergarments disrupt the smooth appearance of a dress. (Back in the day, when women wore slips, this was not an issue.)

You would have to ask the female celebrities who do not wear unders if they are allergic.
Many real women do not have the same allergy.

Honestly, because sometimes undies and bras get in the way.

This isn't usually an issue for men, who (in general) wear looser clothing than women.

Finding the perfect skin-colored thong to wear under your tight white pants is a pain. Getting a seamless look in your dress can be tough, even with the "best" and most expensive seamless underwear.

Hiding bra straps in tricky dresses or tops sucks.

That said, I always wear undergarments. I know how tough it is to find undies and bras that work with my "normal person" clothes sometimes, though, and I've probably gone out with visible lines. For someone who wears daring ensembles and who is photographed from every single angle at totally unexpected moments, though, I could understand why it would be easier to say "Screw it!!" and go sans panties or bra for an event. If I were in that situation, I would be super careful not to flash anything, but that's easy to say when I'm not the one who is followed around 24/7.

Instead of the question that the OP asked, maybe a question should be asked about why the paparazzi are constantly obsessed with catching these shots. Celebs are danged if they do and danged if they don't....if someone catches a teeny thong line on their lower back or a tiny glimpse of a bra strap, they're going to go nuts in the media. If they catch shots of anything that isn't covered, though....damned if they do, damned if they don't.

I'm just glad I don't have people following me around with a camera 24/7, snapping pics and vids from every angle.

Well remember that these things exist as an option for ladies who want to be as minimalist as possible but still avoid accidentally flashing the paparazzi:

This is one reason possibly. The actress Jennifer Tilly mentioned that when filming Seed of Chucky, she was not wearing underwear because she thought it would add bulk to the dress she was wearing. Though she mentioned it was awkward when she tripped and her dress went up. lol

And, this may be TMI, but some people don't wear underwear because they may sweat, or get really hot down there, and it can cause itching. So they just stick with 1 layer down there, which is pants or skirts / dresses.

If I am saying it nicely, they have a flashing gene and their audience pays for it.

Women I have gone out with did it for two reasons, usually because of the weather, and somewhat for the panty line thing. Mostly though, when it is hot and sticky outside, they feel better au natural.

I date only those over 50 BTW. It's not just a young women's thing.

It is not just celebrities, some regular women do it too. Perhaps to feel sexy or to excite their man. One of my ex GF's would tell me, while we were at a club, "Honey, I forgot to wear my underwear tonight !" Gotta love a woman who knows what a guy likes !!
