So no matter if you consider yourself more of a wallflower or the life of the party, we're making the sexy trend work for every girl — and every body. Just scroll through to find the cutout style that speaks to you, and shop it right here.
Michelle Dockery
Michelle Dockery may have given us the most modest take on the trend in her Rosie Assoulin coloblock number, which came complete with a keyhole cutout at the waist.
Claire Danes
For the intermediate: Claire Danes's Givenchy gown got a boost of sex appeal from the lacy side and back cutouts
Lizzy Caplan
Lizzy Caplan's bold, backless Donna Karan Atelier gown is not for those weary of exposing a little skin, though if you're warming up to the idea of a baring skin in front, this is a good place to start.
Kate Mara
Kate Mara's J. Mendel gown offered small snippets of skin via asymmetrical draping at the bodice. The jeweled neckline provided a bit more coverage along the bust to lend a bit more modesty.
Gwen Stefani
Quite the opposite, Gwen Stefani's Versace put her chest on display with sleek cutouts on her open V neck.
Julie Bowen
The Modern Family star's halter-style cutout Peter Som highlighted her arms — and her décolletage — with a plunging cutout at the middle.
Joan Smalls
Dare to bare? Then channel Joan Smalls's sultry style with a dress cut down to there — and side cutouts to boot!
