RESEARCHERS in the UK have discovered a rising trend among celebrities towards showing skin at red carpet functions.

A study, commissioned by cinema giant Odeon, has revealed that celebrities today are exposing 59 per cent of their bodies, and if current habits continue, by 2010 that flesh flashing figure could hit an eye-popping 75 per cent.

It is a marked change from times past, when classic movie beauties such as Ava Gardner, Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot were the apples of the cameraman's eye.

Even in the free-spirited 1970s, celebrities exposed as little as seven per cent of their flesh. That had risen to 13 per cent by 1980.

By the 1990s, Liz Hurley decided enough was enough and arrived at the Four Weddings And A Funeral premiere on the arm of its star Hugh Grant in an infamous Versace gown held together by "designer" safety pins.

Others followed, taking the average skin exposure to 39 per cent across the decade.

"The formal black tie dress which then dominated the red carpet has gradually been replaced with attire which is much more experimental and often more risque," said Chris Hilton, manager of the Odeon Leicester Square, London's host to the bulk of movie premieres.

"In the 21st Century, premiere dress is almost unrecognisable from the traditional glamour of the 1950s."

Modern-day stars such as Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, Christina Aguilera, and even Kylie Minogue have occasionally bared enough flesh to make us blush.

The experts studying the drop in stiches and subsequent rise in flesh on show used a sophisticated methodology in calculating the amount of nudity across the decades since the 1950s.

They selected 10 photographs from each period, put the images together on a body template and thus calculated how much flesh was uncovered.
