She wore what?!

Stars got racy in their respective red carpet looks this week -- and some more than others.

It seems like Rita Ora forgot to look in the mirror before leaving home. The singer hit the red carpet wearing ... lingerie. Nonetheless, she rocked it with no shame.

"Quantico" star Priyanka Chopra was a stunner in blue at a UNICEF event. The actress paired the figure-hugging dress with a sexy red lip.

Of course, Ashley Graham oozed sex appeal at a Sport's Illustrated event, wearing a sequined pink-and-black frock. The model flashed major cleavage in the tight number.

Check out other sexy looks from this week in the slideshow below:

Global market review of lingerie

NEW YORK, Dec. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2016 edition of this long-standing report provides - as ever - the complete retail market statistics and forecasts for the global lingerie market. This edition also focuses on the US and Chinese markets, analyses lingerie's supply chain and provides market shares for key brands and retailers.

Report extracts:

The report estimates the world lingerie retail market value for 2016 at US$29.57bn. Europe accounts for US$11.67bn of the total, and North America for US$7.93bn. Together they have a combined share of 66.3% of the world total. The percentage share held by Asia is 20.4%, and the combined share of South America and the rest of the World is 13.3%.

Brands (retail or manufacturer) resonate with consumers because they trust them. They trust them for fit and hence they are loyal to them. Therefore, hanging on to brands that the consumer believes in is vital. Hanes have done it very well in both North America and Europe with different brand names. Triumph have done it well in both Europe and Asia with the same names.

The world bra market for 2016 is worth US$16.42bn. Bras account for 55.5% of the world lingerie market. Europe and North America together have a combined percentage share of 68.7%. This exceeds the percentage share of lingerie as a whole, and indicates that bras are less important as a woman's purchase in the other continental regions. In unit terms, bra sales are 1596m units per year.

The future of distribution lies in organised retail. The dis-organised markets in the developing world are being eroded. That means for a brand being stocked in well-known retailers and for a retailer having either own brands or manufacturer brands that are trusted. The decisions on what to stock, either going forwards up the supply chain, of backwards down it, is one of the most important decisions to be made in this business.

The world briefs market is quantified in US$ billions value for 2016 at US$9.90bn. This represents 33.5% of the total lingerie market. In unit terms, briefs sales are 5260m units per year.

Kendall Jenner Struts Around in Lingerie, Fierce Lace-Up Boots for 'Love' Magazine’s Advent Calendar

Playing Kendall Jenner Struts Around in Lingerie, Fierce Lace-Up Boots for 'Love' Magazine’s Advent Calendar

Kendall Jenner puts on a sexy display for day five of >Love magazine's advent calendar.

In a video posted on Monday, the 21-year-old model strikes a series of poses to the tune of Barry White's classic slow jam song, "I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More," while sporting purple Agent Provocateur lingerie, Dsquared2 high-heeled lace-up boots and a jacket complete with a big patch of the Rolling Stones lips.

>EXCLUSIVE: Inside the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show After-Party -- Friendly Exes, Supermodel DJs and More!

Kendall's video for >Love happens to fall on the same day that the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will air on CBS. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star walked in the show last week, and wore some seriously sexy ensembles.

ET was backstage with Kendall just moments before she hit the runway, and spoke to her about why none of her famous siblings were in Paris to watch her on the catwalk, but instead were cheering her on from home in Los Angeles. "Yeah, no one is coming out but they're all -- I've literally been texting with all of them, like, the past couple days," she dished. "Everyone's freaking out, I got so many flowers from all my family members. I feel the love for sure from L.A."

>EXCLUSIVE: Kendall Jenner Gives Update on Kanye West's Health -- 'Everyone Is Doing OK, Just Praying'

Here's a look at the lingerie styles you can expect to see at this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show:

Mariah Carey Steps Out In Raunchy Lingerie, Shades Beyoncé!

Mariah Carey talked with Stellar magazine this week, and dropped a bombshell on fellow diva Beyoncé!

Referring to Bey's alter-ego, Sasha Fierce, Carey said, "Well, I love Beyoncé, but Bianca, my alter ego, came before hers, you know."

Oh, darling, of course it did. Bianca, if you remember, debuted back in 1999, when the "Single Ladies" hitmaker was just 18 years old and Mimi was nearing 30. Oddly enough, the alter-ego emerged from Carey's '99 music video for "Heartbreaker," which featured Jay-Z.

In the video, Riah's man -- portrayed by Jerry O'Connell -- is caught hooking up with "Bianca," and what ensues is perhaps the most epic catfight ever staged for music video purposes.

YouTube

"Bianca" reemerged over the last few weeks in the trailer for Carey's upcoming reality show, "Mariah's World," being her regular old diva self, and shooting directly from the hip in all of her clips. Absolutely hilarious!

"Mariah's World" premieres tonight, December 4th, at 9/8c on VH1 -- will you be watching?

See the amazing throwback video (below) and check out Mariah's sexy look at her MAC Cosmetics' Beauty Icon launch on Saturday (above) ... which the "Hero" songstress attended in some seriously skimpy lingerie!

Plus size lingerie promotes positive body image

CAMPBELL, Calif. (KGO) --

The Bay Area is ground zero in a crusade to open up what used to be a very private area. We're talking about equal opportunity for large women in the lingerie department.

Plus size clothing is already a $20-billion industry - and growing, but lingerie has lagged behind. So now body image activists say it's time everybody gets to flaunt it!

That's what happened at the Unapologetically Beautiful Fashion Show in Campbell, where women, size 12 and up, strutted their stuff in sexy lingerie.

The show was organized by Chrystal Bougon, owner of Curvy Girls in San Jose. Curvy Girl is believed to be the only store in the country that specializes in nothing but lingerie for larger ladies. Her mission is to help everyone "feel sexy and beautiful - even people who are size 30, 32. We are trying to find something for everybody."

Bougon was thrilled when 225 women applied to be models at her show. She says that's a lot of people "willing to be half naked, on a runway at 2 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon!"

Bougon believes the reason there is not a lot of extended size lingerie available is "designers assume if you are that fat you don't want to wear lingerie - and that couldn't be further from the truth."

Bay area model Saucye West , size 28, was one of the gorgeous gals on the runway, but a lot of models in this show are not so used to the spotlight.

Stephenie Torres of San Jose walked the runway. Torres said "It felt so good walking into that room, even before the show started and instantly feeling love and positivity. No judgement. "

She added "Hell ,yes I'm fat, and I'm fabulous!"

Women came from all over the bay area, wearing all kinds of fun fashion and ready to buy more.

Catherine James from Mountain House said it was great to have a big range of options in a big range of sizes. But James did not what to show us the lingerie she was taking home. "I'm going to keep that for my husband !" she said.

Tigress Osborne of Oakland says the fashion show is part of the "size acceptance" movement. Osborne says that for large women even the simple act of eating in public can be a political statement.

"We are having a fun time and nobody is feeling ashamed to go back and get that extra meat ball because, who cares, the skinny girls get an extra meatball if they want to. You get to do that too" declared Osborne.

The event also featured author Jes Baker, known as a "fat activist." She's a hero in this community for her blog, The Militant Baker, and book called "Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls."

Baker is spreading the message that happiness does not have to be related to size.

She remembers a turning point 4 years ago. "I had this moment where I was like, oh my God, maybe I don't have to hate myself for the rest of my life. That had never crossed my mind before. I was 26. And after that I thought that, you can't unthink that and so I was kind of on this journey."

Baker got an emotional thank you from fans at the fashion show, and big applause when she hit the runway herself in lingerie.

Plus size clothing is already a $20-billion industry - and growing, but lingerie has lagged behind. So now body image activists say it's time everybody gets to flaunt it!

That's what happened at the Unapologetically Beautiful Fashion Show in Campbell, where women, size 12 and up, strutted their stuff in sexy lingerie.

The show was organized by Chrystal Bougon, owner of Curvy Girls in San Jose. Curvy Girl is believed to be the only store in the country that specializes in nothing but lingerie for larger ladies. Her mission is to help everyone "feel sexy and beautiful - even people who are size 30, 32. We are trying to find something for everybody."

Bougon was thrilled when 225 women applied to be models at her show. She says that's a lot of people "willing to be half naked, on a runway at 2 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon!"

Bougon believes the reason there is not a lot of extended size lingerie available is "designers assume if you are that fat you don't want to wear lingerie - and that couldn't be further from the truth."

Bay area model Saucye West , size 28, was one of the gorgeous gals on the runway, but a lot of models in this show are not so used to the spotlight.

Stephenie Torres of San Jose walked the runway. Torres said "It felt so good walking into that room, even before the show started and instantly feeling love and positivity. No judgement. "

She added "Hell ,yes I'm fat, and I'm fabulous!"

Women came from all over the bay area, wearing all kinds of fun fashion and ready to buy more.

Catherine James from Mountain House said it was great to have a big range of options in a big range of sizes. But James did not what to show us the lingerie she was taking home. "I'm going to keep that for my husband !" she said.

Tigress Osborne of Oakland says the fashion show is part of the "size acceptance" movement. Osborne says that for large women even the simple act of eating in public can be a political statement.

"We are having a fun time and nobody is feeling ashamed to go back and get that extra meat ball because, who cares, the skinny girls get an extra meatball if they want to. You get to do that too" declared Osborne.

The event also featured author Jes Baker, known as a "fat activist." She's a hero in this community for her blog, The Militant Baker, and book called "Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls."

Baker is spreading the message that happiness does not have to be related to size.

She remembers a turning point 4 years ago. "I had this moment where I was like, oh my God, maybe I don't have to hate myself for the rest of my life. That had never crossed my mind before. I was 26. And after that I thought that, you can't unthink that and so I was kind of on this journey."

Baker got an emotional thank you from fans at the fashion show, and big applause when she hit the runway herself in lingerie.
