Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski and a ton of other stars have intentionally left their undergarments on full display this year

Given that we've been living through a serious aughts fashion revival for the last few years, the return of the whale tail should come as no surprise to anyone.

This time around, it's not just G-string straps that celebs are leaving peeking out of their waistbands, though — it's their entire brief. The look for 2023 has been all about extreme VPL, as in leaving no mystery whatsoever about where these famous people's underwear begins and ends.

Whether it's layered under a completely sheer dress, peek-a-booing from betwixt a skirt cutout or being worn as a pair of extremely short shorts, Hollywood's biggest stars aren't afraid of letting it all hang out.
