I can still remember the moment Megan Fox stepped onto the red carpet at the 2021 VMAs wearing a sheer Thierry Mugler gown the likes of which I’d never seen before. The dress hugged her like it was wet, and she accentuated the look with a hairdo that also was giving “damp.” After that, the so-called “naked dress” exploded for a time on red carpets, fueled by the likes of “free the f-cking nipple” Florence Pugh and many other a-listers. Then the trend died down, until recently when the likes of Margot Robbie and Jenna Ortega brought it back.
The two ladies are doing it in their own ways though, and an expert recently weighed in on why the look is so enduring, and why it’s not just about the “sheer” effect.
