Vietnamese model disciplined for wearing ‘offensive’ skimpy dress at Cannes

[PAGESIX] They’re seeing red in Vietnam over a daring model’s sparse sparkles.

Fashion designer Ngoc Trinh, 29, who showed up to Cannes last month in a glittering dress that barely concealed her intimate areas, is facing a fine in her home country after the eye-popping outfit caused outrage.

The form-fitting dress consisted of sheer material in a halter top which left Trinh’s nipples exposed. A shimmering string wove through the material, and a beaded skirt with a double thigh split left her rear end mostly uncovered.

The dress, which Trinh paired with spiky black heels, was “improper, offensive and has caused public outrage,” fumed Nguyen Ngoc Thien, Vietnam’s Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, according to a report.

The country has imposed penalties on folks who fail to cover up in public, but Trinh’s showing of so much skin has prompted calls from seething officials to change laws.

“She is not an artist that the ministry sent to the event. Her outfit was improper, offensive and has caused public outrage,” Thien told legislators at the National Assembly session in Hanoi, according to the Vietnam Express.

Folks back home had their own opinions of Trinh’s backless, sleeveless, thigh-high, see-through get up, the paper claimed.

Vietnam residents discussing the model’s controversial clothes deemed them “sexually explicit,” “weird” and “gross.”

#1 She forgot to change out of her nightgown before going to the event? Sort of like the stereotypical dream of getting to work without remembering to put on ones pants.

#3 "This is not the artist we sent for the even. The real artist couldn't read english properly and landed up in a cheap hotel in Vallauris."

Herb, I hope you're joking.

#5 Bare Bear in a G-string of buckskin
Declares to them Hatfields his doctrine:
"Don't dress like a tramp
In yourn enemy's camp
Like that Cannes-shakin' quisling Ms. Ngoc Trinh."

#10 A long time ago, but in this very galaxy, I knew a girl named Ngoc Hoa (Swan Flower). She was as graceful and even more lovely than Ngoc Trinh (Virtuous--or Chaste--Swan). Of course, she did steal my camera. But she was really, really talented.
