Paz Vega, Patina Miller, Catherine Zeta Jones, Heidi Klum and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley all showed us their sexy backs this week.

Their halter and open-back looks are suggestive, yet subtle and mysterious.

These stars were able to strike a unique balance between showing off a lot of skin, while keeping things classy.

The most important thing to pulling off this trend is to have an even radiant complexion.

It’s also important to note that when you are going backless, you don’t have to expose your cleavage or other body parts.

Paz, Patina and Catherine all interestingly opted for long sleeves.

We saw this trend a lot on the Spring 2011 runway.

Chloé, MaxMara and YSL all opted to send their models out in sexy backless numbers.
