He had a costume that mimicked nudity and was singing a song about being nude (something about, if we were all nudes, there will be no wars). So i guess the description mostly nude applies here.
There is some old greek (IIRC) story where some woman should come not at day, not at night, not clothed, not naked (and something more I don’t remember, not walking, not being carried?).
That depends a lot on what your culture says counts as nude. The technical term would only apply if they were completely nude, but a bikini may well be considered nude in certain parts of the world where showing hair is considered degenerate by some.
Hell I’d have difficulty defining nakedness myself… to stay with the bikini example, depending on skimpiness it leaves nothing to the onlooker’s imagination. It might as well be a simple layer of color over the intimate regions instead, and then we are essentially talking bodypaint which I would say definitely qualifies as nude in my book, but probably not in a lot of other people’s.
“Mostly nude”? Doesn’t that mean not nude? Isn’t being nude like being pregnant, either you are or you aren’t?

He was apparently painted from head to toe and his genitals were covered with a leaf or leaves.
He wasn’t wearing “clothes”, per se, so I guess one could argue that he was technically nude.
