Oscars Undressed! Hall of Shame

1969 - Fanny Nice: Thirty-five years before Janet Jackson busted out of her bustier, Barbra Streisand had Oscar audiences doing double-takes at her black sheer paillettes-covered, Peter Pan-collared, bow-topped Scaasi pantsuit. The diva, who won the 1969 Best Actress prize for her portrayal of Fanny Brice in "Funny Girl" (she tied with Katharine Hepburn for "The Lion in Winter"), had a moniker-appropriate moment when she tripped on her ginormous bell-bottoms as she made her way to the podium. She recovered quickly, basking in her win and purring, "Hello, gorgeous." Scaasi denied that Babs' PJ-like tulle and chiffon outfit was see-through, insisting it was lined with skin-toned crepe to give the illusion of nakedness, which somehow seems much, much worse. Last year, Streisand auctioned off her famous suit for charity, selling it on eBay for $11,358.24. (Bettman/Corbis)
