Looks like Dakota Fanning, er, forgot something at home. The "Twilight" actress was photographed in New York wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt -- and no evidence of a bra underneath, The Daily Mail reports.

The 18-year-old also stopped short of putting on makeup, and looked somewhat disheveled -- at least by Hollywood actress standards! You're probably thinking: She has a right to run out for a quick errand, just like everyone else! But should women -- famous or not -- wear a bra at all times? At least in public?

    I often go braless but I have to admit I feel self conscious when I do unless I have a few layers on. I feel I am going to be judged as slutty because my breasts are large.

    Sorry Mr. You are most likely a young American hating Britt that's to young and in- experience with women to know anything about them other than sex. You would have known what my post was about without being so critical, now am I right or not?

    If you could actually read or knew how to use Soda Head you would have seen that I am a 67 year old male, and ex-paratrooper.

    When I go out and about with my wife and/or three daughters they and I expect to look half decent and so do my daughters wanting this for their children.
    My wife and daughters are all degreed professionals, like Chemical Engineer, Nurse-RN, I.T. and S.W. worker in payroll statics.

    Find some nice English girls and stop messing around with those street whores.

    Actually, virgin and proud. I don't need sex to understand women. Sex is unimportant to me. As is that sweet tender relationship with women I've heard about.
    I don't need a woman my same generation telling me what's best for me either. Marriage is not for me! Bachelor and proud!!

    As for you Americans, dream on. Do degrees matter when it comes down to all facets of intelligence. No I didn't think so. Your dreams pay for nothing in the next life, nor in this. Americorp owns you. It's a shame they even own a bit of my soul.

    Sorry to call you a woman. Sincerely. You were acting like one up there.

    dreams pay life americorp owns shame soul woman sincerely acting

    As for looking half decent? Explain. How does not wearing a bra compromise decency FFS?

    Not wearing a bra has nothing to do with looking descent, or not looking half descent.

    But looking shabby and wearing shabby clothes and choosing an inappropriate upper garment for a bra-less outing is obvious poor taste, and considered classless to many people.

    You Britt’s are one of the biggest snobs on the planet when it comes to CLASS.
    You guys make fun of almost everybody when it comes to class, and protocol.

    Now come-on, admit that. LOL.

    As far as the corporate world, yes we’ve got it stuck up our ass, and many Americans are getting fed-up with it.
    But we all like what money brings as far as material things go. Yes, so does everybody else.

    You would be surprised how many Americans turn down corporate promotions just to be human and stay around their families during the week and at night.

    Well played sir. Well played!!

    I agree not wearing appropriate clothes is poor taste to the majority of people. I guess I'm just relaxed 'cos I'm an artistic soul.

    Brits are actually pretty snobby, yes. But we don't all walk around with butlers and monocles. Be pretty cool if we did though!!
    As for making fun of almost everybody. It's the British Humour!

    I love your last two paragraphs!!

    Pretentious and trite self serving BS. Men have to wear a uniform to work when women have far more freedom in everything from hair to shoes and all that lies between. BOTH sexes dress and style themselves for both the other gender and their own, and no one judges women harsher than other women. Ask a man and they are fine with a few extra pounds, more curves, wrinkles... they want confidence. Women? Most feel there is no such thing as too thin and are their own harshest critics. There is NOTHING wrong with trying to look good, and making the statement that 'I don't care how I look' is just as much of a planned statement as those who take a few minutes to look their best (no matter which gender it is).

    I'm sorry, if you set a platform too high for yourself you tend to hurt yourself VERY MUCH when you hypothetically fall off. I don't dress for any one but myself. The exceptions are interviews and jobs. Then again I am a media technician so tend to wear very comfortable (and practical) clothes.

    One of the reasons I'm a misogynist is that womenkind's view is just, as you've stated, completely distorted to most of mankind's. I HATE this, so tend to stay away from it. My life is never going to change that. Nothing wrong with being a bachelor is there?

    As for freedom in: 1) shoes. High heels? 2) hair. Plastic hair? Very compromised freedom, don't you think?

    I'm a feminist because I believe, over time, something magical will happen that will change how women look at themselves and start to see beauty as what it really is, an imperfect entity. I find women with no hair very attractive for example. Womenkind is worth it but only when it is truly beautiful. Unfortunately I've met very few truly beautiful women.

    I say that one should set the bar high to that even if you miss, you aimed high and got higher than you would have. That low platform of standards? Sure, falling off doesn't hurt... but it relegates a person to always living with low standards.

    You blame men even when you discuss what women believe. Sorry, but while its easy to blame men for what men do and then blame men even when you dislike what women do, it has no truth. Its just an easy way of thinking. You say you dress for yourself, but then insult women and say they are dressing as they do because they have been brainwashed by men. Maybe - just maybe - they are dressing for themselves just as you are. They just have a different standard or set of standards.

    You say you are a feminist but you are clearly not. A true feminist believes both genders are equal, even if not the same. They want women to be all they can be, as well as men to be. You start out with the belief that men who believe differently than you do are wrong, and that women who agree with those men and not you must be so empty headed they are brainwashed and coerced to be wrong as well. You say you are a feminist, but then say you have met very few beautiful women because your narrow definition of beauty isn't met too often.

    Open your eyes. Judge ...

    Open your eyes. Judge less. Accept differences not only in looks, but in what people like. You say you are a feminist, but you insult women in many posts. You say you are a proud bachelor and virgin, but it sounds more like you are the proverbial fox calling the grapes 'sour' because he cannot reach them.

    You sound lonely and it appears you dislike men and women, in general. Maybe you've been hurt. If so, that sucks but you need to move on. Being young and a virgin and swearing to be a proud virgin bachelor living alone wearing your comfy clothes and spending all your time on the computer isn't as fun or rewarding as you are trying to convince yourself it is.

    Go get dressed up, meet people, and if it doesn't work? Change a bit and try it again.

    Best of luck.

    I didn't blame men, I mostly dismissed that stance long ago. Also, where in my post do I claim that men have brainwashed women. Sure it happens sometimes but I've been brainwashed by manipulative women too.

    And actually, I do believe both sexes are equal. It's just I hate a lot of what women do and believe. That's not a stance of inequality. That's a personal preference. In other words I don't hate women because they're women. That's a REALLY old-fashioned and hateful thing.

    As for being narrow? My view is untarnished by un-innocence. I have a very innocent view on the world. Is this a bad thing?

    Calling the grapes sour? My parents tell me A LOT of women look at me when we go out. I am able to reach them but have other priorities right now, like securing a job. I want rock WAY before my roll thanks.

    All in all women don't matter to me much. When I meet the right women I love to chat. One or two of my friends are women so...

    I love other peoples opinions. Just because I don't like them doesn't mean I staunchly hate them. I actually used to be incredibly black 'n' white but over the past year I have become more colourful in my opinions.

    As for standards, don't start.

    No, you are wrong in your thinking, that I discriminate against women that CHOOSE NOT to wear a bra in public.

    My post and replies was “some do NOT do it with much class”.

    Whether you like it or not, people DO make mental opinions to themselves when they see women and men dressed deliberately provocative in public with bad taste.

    YOU won’t change people’s minds with your "Adopted Political Correctness" so you think you’re with the main stream. A lie unto yourself.

    I don’t care how many people dress to be comfortable including women without bras.
    I am a man that enjoys in a my private mind seeing a beautiful woman with a tasteful upper garment and no bra. Only human as most men.

    But, there is an un-written cultural dress code of public decency all over the civilized world and you know it.

    Sorry, but what YOU consider uniform, someone else may not. It's ludicrous to say someone is distasteful because their tastes doesn't align with what YOU in particular deem tasteful and decent. We're all different people with different preferences, likes, and dislikes. It is what it is.

    I'm sorry, but that is just nonsense. I'm not saying Ms. Fanning should or shouldn't wear a bra, but looks do matter. All the time. I suppose if the President walked out for his State Of The Union Speech in a baby blue sweatsuit because he wanted to be comfy it would be okay? Or if the CEO at Whole Foods decided to start going to work in his underwear? Of if all your family and friends just stopped shaving or combing their hair its all good? Looks matter. Unless you are home, alone, judgements are being made about you based on how you look, how you dress, how you take care of yourself... Right or wrong, those are the facts and have been true since the dawn of time.
