Kate Moss explains why she wore infamous 'naked' dress to Radiohead pub gig

Kate Moss has spoken about the moment she was snapped by the paparazzi in a see-through dress and plastered across the nation's newspapers.

The 48-year-old supermodel has been reflecting on her modelling career, looking back at some of her more iconic moments over the past three decades.

Kate breaks down these moments in a new video for British Vogue and she speaks about the photos that have shaped her career.

One such moment came in 1993 when she was heading to the Elite Models ‘Look of the Year’ party in London.

She said that along with her friends, they heard Radiohead playing one of their early gigs at a pub in Camden.

Kate was keen to check them out and it was while she was there that a combination of the band's flashing lights and the flash bulbs of the paparazzi combined to give the illusion that her dress was completely see-through.

The oblivious Kate did not know about what had happened until the next morning, when her photo was splashed across the newspapers and the model was horrified at what she saw.

Talking on the video, Kate turned over a page in a book of her life for it to reveal the see-through dress.

Kate said: "Oh god, this is a funny night.

“So, basically, I was at Coren’s flat in Brewers Street and we were going to some party and that night Radiohead were playing in Camden in a little pub and we could hear Radiohead playing Creep and we were please let us in, please let us in and he was like, go on then and we ran in and they were 'I’m a creep' and the lights were like purple lights flashing.

"I did not know that this dress was see through until the pictures came out the next day in the newspaper."

Kate continued to explain: "It was the flash that made it look naked because actually the fabric I was wearing I didn’t think was that see through but, obviously, it was.

"I mean, had I known I would be talking about it 30 years later.

"Good dress, good night."
