Model Carmen Carrera leaves little to the imagination as she wears just a TINY strip of lace over her cleavage at The Blonds NYFW party

#askaroundnow
It was the event at which Lil' Kim chose to reveal her shock pregnancy to the world.
So it was always going to be hard for anyone else to stand out at The Blonds New York Fashion Week show afterparty on Wednesday night.
But model Carmen Carrera certainly gave it her best shot, as she decided to go bra-less with just a tiny strip of black lace covering her ample cleavage.

Covering up: Carmen's outfit was more modest when she wore the jacket done up

Carmen had earlier worn a cleavage-boosting black skater-style minidress and strappy pink heels as she attended the fashion show alongside fellow stars including Paris Hilton and Joe Jonas.
The stunning brunette first shot to fame on the 2010 series of RuPaul's Drag Race but was eliminated halfway through the season.

But it was after this show that Carmen really began to make a name for herself, and was quickly snapped up by Elite Model Management.

As she was: Carmen was born Chris Roman and appeared in the 2010 season of RuPaul's Drag Race

The 28-year-old, who was born Christopher Roman, teamed the barely-there 'top' with a PVC pencil skirt and colourful jacket as she posed for photographers at the event, held at Gilded Lily in Manhattan.
After being signed by the modelling agency, Carmen's fanbase grew exponentially, with thousands of people signing a Change.org petition in a bid to get her involved in Victoria's Secret's 2013 fashion show.
While the lingerie company never made any response to the petition, Carmen revealed recently she is hoping to be included in the 2014 show.
In a recent interview with CNN, Carmen said of the support she receives from her fans: 'It's kind of like validation.
'No matter how insecure I might be, no matter how un-pretty I might feel, there are people out there who look to me to be strong and to keep going and to keep proving people wrong.'
While Carmen has had a breast augmentation and nose job as part of her transition, she has remained quiet on whether or not she has completed the gender reassignment surgery, saying in an interview earlier this year that it was a 'private matter'.

However, in a Facebook post back in 2012, Carmen told her fans that she was unsure about whether or not to have the full surgery - mainly due to the fact that she was in a relationship with long-term partner Adrian Torres, from whom she has now separated.

She wrote: 'I live my life as a female but I have not gotten my gender reassignment surgery. To be honest, I'm still thinking about that part. Me and my husband want to be able to have kids one day and once I get the surgery, I will not be able to produce DNA to create an offspring with a genetic females DNA.
'For those who are un-accepting of trans people, I really have no words for. I don't think anyone out there can judge. I'm pretty sure, no matter how you live, someone will have a bad opinion of it. Having a penis, doesn't make a man. Having a vagina doesn't make a women. I think there are a lot more qualities that go into it that just genitals.
'If you can't have respect for someone else just because of their gender, then your parents failed somewhere in raising you. You don't have to agree with certain choices, but respect should always be given no matter what.'

 

Doing the rounds: Carmen has been attending various shows during NYFW

Carmen is now keen to work on breaking down the barriers between the 'normal' modelling industry and that of transgender modelling.
Speaking about models such as Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, she said: 'I want to be like those girls.
'I don't want to just be labelled as a transgender model. ...Why do I have to be separated? It's the modelling industry -- one industry.'
