Addison Rae

Addison Rae — Cutout dresses are a fun way to take red carpet style to the next level! There are no rules when it comes to cutout features, so the possibilities are endless, from where they’re placed to how big the cutouts are. Furthermore, they can be seen in a range of clothing, from jeans to bikinis to shirts and beyond.

Here, Addison Rae attends the premiere of her movie ‘He’s All That’ in Los Angeles wearing a white dress with a small cutout below her chest.
