The Naked-Dress Trend Is Now So Naked That It's Barely There at All

The naked-dress trend is back and bolder than ever in 2023. It comes in two main styles: a skin-color body-con dress or a barely-there dress with transparent or sheer material strategically placed. This trend has been evolving for years, but its impact remains strong.

The naked dress has a long history. Cher fans remember her dedication to Bob Mackie's risqué creations. Before that, Marilyn Monroe wore an infamous sheer dress in 1962 to sing happy birthday to President Kennedy. Recently, Kim Kardashian wore this dress to the Met Gala.

Jane Birkin in 1969 and Kate Moss in 1993 both wore sheer dresses with black knickers, making them my personal favorites. It's a subtle way to embrace the nude-dress trend. However, in recent years, the trend has become more glamorous. Rihanna's 2014 CFDA look and Beyoncé's 2015 Met Gala dress by Givenchy garnered attention for their daringly minimal appearance. Similarly, Kim Kardashian's 2019 wet-look Mugler creation satisfied the naked-dress trend with its body-con style and color.

In recent months, naked dresses have resurfaced on the red carpet. Megan Fox wore a wet-look Mugler frock to the VMAs. Barely-there dresses were also seen at the Met Gala, including Olivia Wilde's impressive dress. Kendall Jenner's diamanté Givenchy gown and Zoe Kravitz's mesh Saint Laurent dress led the trend.

If this is something you're drawn to, perhaps it's worth taking inspiration from the current looks. Keep scrolling to see the current naked-dress looks.

Dress is a fundamental element of social evolution. It comprises one of the most basic building blocks of inequality. Fashion, likewise, is neither frivolous nor trivial. It matters, has consequences. Dress and fashion have a significant impact on the way people live, define themselves, and operate within their own habitats. It is a game of differentiation, the means by which one ethnic group distinguishes itself from another, one social status and religious affiliation from another. Dress and fashion help identify the foreign, the minority, and the marginal, and can emerge as an influential means by which people challenge their status and reshape their identity within their own societies or on the global stage. In order to understand the complexities of what people wear and why, sociologists, anthropologists, historians, philosophers, semiologists, linguists and many others input their immense expertise. The study of modern civilization fashion along with mass production can derive no assistance from world history before comparatively modern times. In human history fashion is new and its future path is unknown.
