Jennifer Lawrence is on a roll. Two weeks after she nabbed the Golden Globe for "Silver Linings Playbook," the actress took home a SAG award, beating out favorite Jessica Chastain.
But that wasn't the main upset at the award show. Lawrence — who attended despite a case of walking pneumonia — churned the rumor mill when her dress appeared to be torn in half as she climbed the stairs to accept her award.
Mere seconds before when her name was announced, Jennifer nearly fell down because her train was caught under a chair — the apparent cause of the tear.
But here's the thing: it wasn't a wardrobe malfunction. The dark blue Christian Dior Couture dress, which walked the runway last week in Paris, was made of tiered layers of satin and tulle. In an attempt at ladylike behavior, Jennifer held up her dress and inadvertently exposed the tulle underneath.
In a statement to USA Today, a Dior spokesperson said, "The dress is made with different levels of tulle and satin, and that is what the viewers saw when Jennifer lifted her dress slightly. It was not ripped, and there was no malfunction. … It was the design of the gown."
But Jennifer seems to be the only one who ISN'T frazzled about the entire situation.
Her thoughts on the Dressgate 2013?
"I will never look at pictures of this night," she joked backstage. "That’s the only true way to happiness."
To shock and reveal like Jennifer, check out these sheer pieces.
Work and Play
A bit of a cross between a blouse and a bustier, this top pairs the sex appeal of strapless with the modesty of a button-down. Cover it up with a blazer in the office, then take it off after hours to expose the dramatic open back.

Chic and Sheer
A maxi is the perfect place to play with sheer. Though a long skirt can make you feel like a schoolmarm, the silhouette of leg and the colorful print and abstract pattern keeps the style fresh and young. In the cold winter weather, pair it with a chunky sweater and heeled boots and you're ready for the cold.

Rain or Shine
It can be the saddest feeling in the world when you pick out the perfect outfit, and then find yourself obligated to cover it up with a boring coat or jacket. In this translucent raincoat, you'll stay dry and comfortable, without losing your personal style. Throw it over loud polka dots or florals for maximum effect.
