At the recent Oscars ceremony and subsequent after-parties, the naked fashion trend made a bold statement as celebrities embraced the idea that less is more when it comes to their attire.
One notable example was actor-director who wore a sheer, embroidered lace negligee by Chloé, complete with metal ends and lingerie panties. Another celebrity, actor Julia Fox, opted for a see-through wrap dress with strategically placed hair extensions as the only adornment.
Singer Doja Cat also joined the trend, performing in a diamond-studded outfit during a James Bond tribute segment and later appearing in a custom Balmain gown adorned with hand-threaded glass beads in various shades of gold.
Other attendees, such as Kendall Jenner and Leslie Bibb, showcased their take on the naked fashion trend with vintage lace and nude-sparkle ensembles.
While the trend may seem new to some, fashion experts point out that naked fashion has been in vogue for several years, with sheer lace being a prominent expression of the trend in recent times.
According to Madeline Hirsch, features director at InStyle Fashion, the naked dress trend has been fueled by celebrity red carpet moments, with stars and stylists continually pushing the boundaries of fashion.
Despite the popularity of the trend, not everyone is on board. Melissa Rivers, a fashion commentator, expressed her disapproval of the trend, calling it a cyclical phenomenon that resurfaces every few years.
While many Oscar attendees opt for more traditional looks during the ceremony, the after-parties provide a platform for celebrities to experiment with daring and revealing outfits, matching the relaxed and informal atmosphere of the events.
Whether you love it or loathe it, the naked fashion trend certainly made a lasting impression at this year's Oscars after-parties, sparking conversations and debates about the evolving landscape of red carpet fashion.
