Davorka Tovilo is a Croatian television personality and actress living in Munich,[2] Germany. She is mostly known for her appearances at film premieres and similar events. She also performed in some fashion shows and had several appearances in German television.
Clothing and wardrobe malfunctions
Davorka became known to a greater public when she appeared at the European film premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King on December 10, 2003, wearing a dress that became transparent under the flashlights of the photographers.[3] She was quoted saying that she was shocked when she saw her pictures in the tabloids afterwards.[1] This perhaps unintended wardrobe malfunction led to her nickname "Miss Transparent" — a name which should become her trademark. From now on, she wore transparent and daring clothes at nearly every public occasion.
Although her provoking style was received ambiguously by many newspapers[4] and sometimes even called "cheap" (German comedian Oliver Pocher humorously suspected that her transparent red dress at the 2008 German Film Ball came from the catalogue of German wholesale supplier Orion[5]), Davorka's outfits mostly consist of haute couture designs from renowned lables and manufacturers.
The red dress in question (see infobox picture) was a bespoke unique design by Lorand Lajos. At other occasions, she wore a dress with a transparent lace top from the 2007 collection of Daniel Fendler, a white blouse by Dolce & Gabbana, and a dress with transparent top by Talbot Runhof.

The German TV station ProSieben even claimed that Davorka's transparent clothing was a new fashion style and named it nude look. A feature on her and her clothes was aired on May 31, 2006, in the show taff.[6]
Television and cinema
General
Generally, the media found it difficult to define Davorka's status or profession. She became a celebrity without being an actress or being married to a rich husband.[1]
After participating in the life-coaching reality TV show Lebe dein Leben (Live your life),[7][8] Davorka decided to take part in another reality show, Der Container Exklusiv — an adaption of the Big Brother concept, but aired 24 hours per day on a private pay TV channel of German TV station Premiere. Although she was wearing transparent tops almost during the whole show[9] and did not hide her breasts to the viewers when taking a shower, Davorka would not let others into the bathroom while she was preparing for the day.[10] On May 10, 2006 she left the show voluntarily after 30 days.

Personal info
Davorka has one brother[2] and speaks Croatian, German, English and Italian[4]. She has studied political and communication sciences.[1]
After her first appearance in the transparent dress at the Lord of the Rings premiere, she received many phone calls and had to face the disapproval of her family. She described the process as catharsis, freeing her from imposed catholic concepts.[1]
Since 2008, she works for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) organisation.[4] On February 5, 2008, she took part in a protest against Spanish bullfighting in front of the Spanish embassy in Berlin.[11] At 9 degrees Celsius, she was only wearing a bikini — unlike other female participants who also showed their breasts.
