The Celebrity: For the 2006 Vanity Fair after-Oscar party, Kate Bosworth chose a see-through red gown.

"A great deal of this behavior can be attributed to exhibitionism or a need for publicity, but other factors may be in play as well," said About.com Guide to Psychology Kendra Van Wagner. "For example, some individuals might wear revealing clothing as a way to gain attention, prestige or admiration."

The Designer: Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein won the CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year award that year. The bright red dresses like Bosworth wore were the highlight of his Fall '06 collection.

Fashion Verdict: Bosworth definitely knows how to get attention.
