Melody Thornton attended the Elle magazine Women in Music gala in Hollywood last night, and all we saw were nipples!

Nipple-baring in public is fast becoming the shock tactic trend of the 21st century, although it’s a fashion statement most parents would not want their daughters to divulge. Out of all the urban-pop chicks this year, Rihanna is the one that’s been the most consistent with her nipple-baring. And more and more pop chicks are popping out to join the club. Notice how many of them have underwhelming music careers. Sure, an “accidential” nip slip will certainly get you more inches inside a newspaper column but not do much else to boost album sales. Just say no to sheer if you can’t do it in a classy way.

Here, we look at some of our most recent TRANSPARENT offenders.

Keri Hilson snapped at Hennessy Wild Rabbit campaign launch last week on April 5th, 2012.

No one beats this. Adrienne Bailon “accidently” exposes herself at NYC’s Caesars Entertainment’s Escape To Total Rewards event on March 1st, 2012.

Rihanna snapped in January at CIROC‘s Miami end of year bash. And more recently on March 11th, 2012.
