Vietnamese model Ngoc Trinh is at risk of a hefty fine because of a dress she wore to the Cannes Film Festival in May.
The 28-year old made a statement by wearing a sparkly semi-sheer outfit that left little to the imagination at the premiere for World War II epic A Hidden Life.
The top of the body-hugging dress was made from a sheer material while the bottom half was a beaded skirt with beyond thigh-high splits on each side.

In her home country, authorities are considering issuing her a large fine as people have been penalised before for not covering up enough in public.
