Former Playboy pin-up Jenny McCarthy is still mortified she wore a see-through dress to last month's (AUG05) World Music Awards in Los Angeles - because it took event photographers to reveal her fashion faux pas.

The buxom blonde thought she was standing out in her vintage black Moschino dress, but once the flashbulbs went off, McCarthy realised she might as well have been topless.

She says, "It was a dress I had for like 12 years in my closet... I put it on, the flashbulbs are going off and people are going, 'Psst, do you know it's see-through...' What are you gonna do?"

But the catty star is relieved her fake breasts stayed in her dress, and she didn't suffer a public fall-out like Tara Reid did at rap mogul SEAN 'DIDDY' COMBS' birthday party last year (NOV04).

McCarthy adds, "At least it's not a Tara Reid moment - my implant scars are covered."
