Padma Lakshmi's Sheer Dress And Natalie Portman's Near Slip (PHOTOS)

Whoops!

As many helpful commenters observed in this post, "Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi's dress at the White House Correspondents Dinner was actually sheer, and depending what way the wind blew the ruffle at the neckline, her ensemble was riskier than most.

In a similar boat for different reasons was Natalie Portman, whose dress may have been opaque, but the neckline was low enough for her right breast to make a break for it on the red carpet.

Natalie's so called nipple is actually too high on her chest to be one, I reckon. Maybe it's a birth mark instead?

padma and padme's boobies!

If some lady wishes the world to see her breasts, why should we care? It's not like the female breast is something only a handful of women have. America needs to get over the idea that the female breast is something unusual or that ones eyes will melt into ones head if they see a nipple. Get real!

I'm getting to like this place more all the time.

I don't mind working for a living but sometimes I like to be reminded of what makes living worth it.

Padma and Padme. Is this a subtle shout out to Star Wars nerds?

We've got breasts, breasts, breasts. Do try and get over it.

Oh, it would be a sad day for all of us if us guys quit enjoying the sight of women's breasts. It's part of what makes it all so fun, innit?

This slide show is infantile. Are we really so entralled by the sight of nipples? Are we back in 7th grade??

[lovesholiday]

You looked though?

[twoopeneyes]

Let's have a Congressional hearing.

And this matters because......

Am I the only one who is noticing that there is something very strange with the layout of the breasts? It's almost as though they've been faked. ON the first pic, Lakshmi's left breast appears to be twice the size of her right breast if you go by the photo, but you can see where, somehow, the right breast is still filling out the bodice. The same with Portman's pics -- that "nipple" seems to be contrived. Of course, you're guys, so all you care is that you see nipple. Nipple nipple nipple and over 8,000 words for breast....

[UncleHomer]

I can't and won't speak for the rest of the guys but I'm busted.

(Now I'll go back and look again, as if I wouldn't have anyway, to see if you're right).

[Dubois651]

[msbeachwood]

She looks a little sloppy What is she doing at this event, anyway?

[KataVideo]

Humph. These women should be more dignified and demure like Carrie Prejean. They shouldn't give up the good so easily, just like Bristol Palin says.
Oh wait... oops.

I want this job! I have wanted this job since i was in 6th grade.

Does it pay well? Do you need special skills? A degree?

Who cares, I take it.

[Crankenstein]

Sixth grade? You late starters will have to get in line, I've been applying since fourth grade!

[BlackbirdHighway]

OMG! Women have breasts! Who knew?

[Spiritgirl2]

So, this must be a slow news day, huh???/

[DubyaGump]

I was thinking the same thing
