So far in 2023, red carpets have seen their fair share of almost entirely transparent dressesāthink Florence Pughās most memorable Valentino moments. You may be wondering, why are ānakedā dresses having a moment? Imagine if the no pants trend had a sophisticated older cousin, that would be this. Equal parts sheer, playful and eye-catching, almost-see-through dresses have been making a serious impression as of late, and letās just say, weāre here for it.
Everyone from Doja Cat and Emily Ratajkowski to Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner has been seen in the style, but these see-through outfits arenāt just for celebrities. While it might not look like it on the surface, these dresses are actually quite accessible. Here are our favourite looks Ć la naked dress trend to sport as the weather gets warmer.
Though this classic Kylie photoshoot looks as though it was casually taken on a couch, the outfit is giving anything but loungewear. Jenner shared her take on the naked look trend with a sheer, long-sleeve dress and a beige bra underneath. While we werenāt able to source the exact dress, you can follow in the beauty billionaireās fashionable footsteps by pairing an almost-see-through top with a micro-mesh skirt. Complete the ensemble with your favourite bralette, of course.
Emily Ratajkowski has also naturally put her own spin on the naked dress trend. Take this look, for instance. She pairs a sheer corset with an asymmetrical, patterned skirt and white strappy sandals. Even if you arenāt vacationing in Miami like the High Low podcast host, youāre bound to emulate Y2K chic in this summer fit.
Back to Miss Jenner. I love this look, but if youāre searching for something a little bit more casual, donāt worry, weāve got you covered. All youāre going to need is a sheer dress, a timeless corset and your favourite pair of heels. Oh, and donāt forget the floral hair clip, of course. Youāll look just like one of the iconic Jean Paul Gaultier girlies.
Okay, so this look might not be from 2023, but it easily could beāand I think including Kate Moss means Iām not cheating. Iām all for bringing back Mossā barely-there style with this look-a-like slip dress (and standout panties, of course!). Canāt imagine yourself wearing this to a party or the pub? Try it out as a chic beach cover-up instead, or opt for a more opaque design, such as the one weāve listed below.
Last, but certainly not least, is a standout fit from none other than Kim Kardashian herself. The SKIMS CEO recently wore this sheer suit to the TIME100 Gala and it couldnāt help but remind us of the naked dress trend. The menswear set has been given a feminine update, thanks to the delicate see-through fabric, minimalist bandeau worn as a top and glitzy (but simple) accessories. If youāre looking to dip your toe into the trend without fully committing to a transparent ensemble, you could even wear the trousers with an opaque tee, or vice versa. The choices are endless.
