“Model bares all” read the all-too-familiar headlines last week, after Australian runway star Roberta Pecoraro attended a Cartier party wearing a stunning sculptural dress by Aussie designer Christopher Esber. The dress was sheer, and Pecoraro wore it braless with demure white pants, to dazzling effect.
The 27-year-old joins a growing number of celebrities — among them Florence Pugh, Emrata, Hailey Bieber, Julia Fox and Olivia Wilde — who have hit the headlines for wearing semi (or entirely) transparent dresses. In fact, the naked dress (as it has been dubbed) has become de rigueur for anyone wishing to make a splash on a red carpet or at a celebrity bash. This winter, though, it’s not just Hollywood A-listers that are slipping into something see-through. Pop your head in at any of London’s hottest parties and you’ll find half the cool kids wearing something semi sheer, with the ‘naked dress’ a standout.
