Stars Who Admit They Don't Wear Underwear

How do A-list stars always look their best on a red carpet? Well, thanks to the lovely people at Spanx, most celebs choose to wear shapewear under their designer gowns. While some public figures won't admit they use such products, other famous folk have been more than candid about working them into their wardrobes. "There are these great things called Spanx and they just squeeze you in," Gwyneth Paltrow once declared in an interview (via The Telegraph). "It's terrific!" And, three months after giving birth to daughter Daisy, songstress Katy Perry had to jump right back into work and kept it real with her fans by hilariously flashing her Spanx under her blue trench coat on social media.

While stars like Paltrow and Perry aren't shy to let the world know that they proudly use shapewear to keep everything intact, there are a few celebs who forgo shapewear and underwear. Believe it or not, lots of well-known people in Hollywood have admitted that they would rather go commando than wear their unmentionables, even if they are going out in public. From calling undies uncomfortable to wanting to just feel free, these stars have performed on stage or walked red carpets at prestigious award shows without any underwear.

Before Kim Kardashian created her own shapewear line called SKIMS, the reality TV personality said she was never a fan of underwear. During her "party girl" days with Paris Hilton, the mogul told Rolling Stone that while she "rarely" wore anything underneath her clothing, she thankfully did not fall victim to a paparazzi landing a shot of her as she stepped out of a car, which has unfortunately haunted stars like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. 

In 2015, the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star told model Cara Delevingne for LOVE magazine (via OK!) that she had recently gotten back into the skivvies game. "I only started wearing underwear a month ago, and I never wore underwear until then," Kardashian said. "But I always pee all over my Spanx, it's a disaster. They aren't crotchless enough!" Let us hope Kardashian's line of shapewear and undergarments are made to better suit the star when she needs a bathroom break.

Fans won't see actor Octavia Spencer wearing the highest heels or the tightest dress on a red carpet, and the same goes for shapewear or even underwear. As far as she's concerned, comfort is key. Talking to People at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2017, she shared her thoughts about all those undergarments, stating, "Ladies, it's not worth it. We don't even [need to] say what underwear it is. Just don't wear too much of it." 

At the 2017 Golden Globes, Spencer kept her word when she walked the red carpet wearing a Laura Basci suit which allowed her to skip her underclothes. "I chose to wear a tuxedo, and in doing that, I was able to be freer, less underwear. A lot less underwear. And I was just radiant," Spencer said on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." "Everyone was like, 'Oh, you're happy.' They thought it was because of the box office, and I'm thinking, my feet don't hurt and I am not cinched. It was wonderful.'"

"The Shape of Water" star also discussed how her fashion style has changed over the years with a mantra that comfort is key. "I think women are sexy when they are confident. I think trying to wear nine-inch heels and tights trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey, those days are gone [for me]," Spencer shared with DeGeneres. "I think it's all about comfort and knowing what fits your body. And I'm there now, I'm all about comfort and what suits me." 

As The Sun reported at the time, actor Kate Beckinsale left little to the imagination when she attended the 2018 GQ Men of the Year Awards in a red and black dress by British designer Julien Macdonald. Her flowing gown resembled a tropical caftan that made heads turn with its swimsuit-style top that exposed plenty of skin. Now, if the ensemble has you wondering what kind of super specific undergarment one would have to find to fit under such a unique silhouette, the answer may very well be custom none-derwear.

Beckinsale has made it quite clear that she's not really into underwear. In a 2011 Maxim interview, she shared, "Yeah, I don't wear knickers. I mean, unless I'm wearing a very short skirt — or maybe if I'm going on a mountain expedition with extra layers. But no, I don't like them." And during an appearance on "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," she confessed that she wasn't wearing any underwear after her microphone had fallen off and had nothing to hook it on to while joining the host on set. 

While playing "Burning Questions" on a 2020 episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," actor and singer Jamie Foxx opened up about his undergarment-related habits. When Ellen DeGeneres asked him to name one of the ways he embarrasses his kids, he replied, "I don't wear underwear all the time. It's not a bad thing. I'm just a natural person so sometimes when I'm working on stuff, my kids. ... Okay, let's just go with something else." The "Django Unchained" star tried to change the subject, but the visibly amused talk show host interjected, "No kid wants to see their dad walking around with no underwear." She makes a valid point.

Speaking of awkward family moments, Jamie Foxx joined forces with his daughter, Corinne Foxx, and released an eight-episode show called "Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!" The scripted series is based on some of their real-life (and cringeworthy) father-daughter moments. "It's literally my diary come to life," Corinne told the Daily News. 

Is it a shock to anyone that songstress Lady Gaga likes to live a knickers-less lifestyle? The singer once told the Daily Star (via Digital Spy), "I don't really wear underwear. It's rare I will. There's no point. And I'm not ashamed of it." However, in another interview with Rolling Stone, Gaga sang a different tune about underthings. "I feel freer in underwear, and I hate f****** pants," she said. "Plus, it's easier to dance." 

Evidently, Lady Gaga wanted all her Little Monsters to dance around in their undies when she released sixth studio album "Chromatica" in 2020. Along with the record, Gaga sold limited-edition merchandise which consisted of crewnecks, sweatpants, briefs, and thongs. The themed items were a hit with her fans, and Insider reported that the green briefs and pink thong were the most popular items. 

The singer has actually worn skivvies — and just skivvies — out in public on several occasions. Perhaps the most notable Lingerie Gaga moment was the time when, as Reuters recounted, she changed out of a bright pink ball gown into "a black bra, panties and sky-high platform boots" at the 2019 Met Gala. 

Plenty of celebrities suffer wardrobe malfunctions, but Chrissy Teigen's was one of the most revealing. Teigen stunned the 2016 American Music Awards red carpet when she wore a black dress held together by safety pins and with slits that ran up her torso, revealing her toned legs. However, according to the Daily Mail, she accidentally flashed photographers more than just her legs when her dress shifted to show that she was not wearing any undergarments.

Teigen apologized for baring it all on the AMAs' red carpet — but of course, it was done in Teigen style, with the model shouting out her laser hair removal service. She wrote on Instagram, "(apologies to anyone harmed mentally or physically by my hooha) dress is #yousefakbar and shoes are @dsquared2 and laser hair removal is @sevlaseraesthetics." 

In 2013, the Sports Illustrated model appeared on E! News' "Fashion Police" (via HuffPost), where she admitted that she wasn't a fan of underwear. Adding that she wasn't wearing any while on the show, Teigen said, "I just don't ... like it." She also revealed her tricks when asked by the late Joan Rivers how she gets around not wearing any skivvies at that time of the month, but we probably didn't need to know that. TMI!

Being friends with Rihanna is a major plus when she chooses you to walk in her exclusive Fenty x Savage fashion shows. Celebrities like model Cara Delvingne have appeared in the songstress' shows a few times, like in 2019, when she took part in a dance performance wearing mint green lingerie. Delevingne was back at it again in November 2022, where she rocked bleached brows and dawned a black lingerie set. However, despite looking stunning in RiRi's lingerie, you won't catch the model wearing these looks at home, as she's revealed that she's not a fan of underwear.

Talking to People in 2019, Delevingne shared, "The first pair of underwear I bought was really cheesy Disney underwear. But I don't really like wearing underwear." Savage x Fenty, of course, caters to men and women of all body types, which is something Delevingne loves about the line — even though she personally prefers to go commando. "Everyone looked so gorgeous and was lifting each other up. It's so inclusive and is such wonderful feeling backstage," she said of the show. "There's so much love involved."

Remember when Kris Jenner had her own talk show? It was called "Kris" and ran for one season in 2013. Despite her short-lived hosting career, Jenner interviewed several celebrities, including her former son-in-law, Kanye West, who famously revealed the first photos of daughter North West at the time, whom he shares with ex-wife Kim Kardashian. Jenner also kept it in the family when she interviewed Kourtney Kardashian's former boyfriend and father of her three children, Scott Disick, who didn't reveal any adorable baby photos but did share some interesting tidbits about himself with the audience.

Co-hosting with Jenner, Disick played a "Fact or Fiction" game, where he shared that he prefers to go commando. "This is true. I can't afford it," Disick joked, with Jenner admitting that she, too, isn't a fan of underwear. "That makes two of us! We don't wear underwear, runs in the family," Jenner said. 

Indeed, it does run in the family, with Kim Kardashian also making this list, as previously mentioned. However, it's worth noting that she's since switched from going underwear-free after launching her SKIMS line, which only makes sense.
