Hi. I hate to bring anything with a political dimension to this thread, but this question is, really and truly, about photography.

Alexandra Kerry has been ridiculed for a scandalous appearance at Cannes in a dress that in photographs appeared translucent.

Would you be able to confirm that this is a true statement (or tell me it's not), from a technical standpoint, about the effects photographic lighting can have on fabric transparency? The link is below.

"Alexandra Kerry, a 30-year-old actress and documentary filmmaker, was in Cannes to present her short film... wearing a black off-shoulder dress that, under the glare of numerous photographer's flashes, revealed her bra-less chest. (Sometimes fabrics and styles that appear modest in the dressing room turn out to be unexpectedly revealing when subjected to unusual or harsh lighting, so not every exposure of this nature is necessarily a deliberate example of exhibitionism.)"
