French fancy: Kate Upton proves a true risk-taker at the Met Gala in D&G French bordello dress that accentuates her waist



Kate Upton's French bordello style dress at this year's Met Gala on Monday certainly got people talking, not to mention fashion critics giving their opinions.



The gown by designers Dolce and Gabbana was an intricately designed black dress with plenty of sheer detailing and ruffles.

The 21-year-old actress' elaborate black and yellow headpiece also had a touch of French bordello madam about it, as the star was accompanied into the event by none other than half of the design duo, Domenico Dolce.
