Everything you need to know on ‘naked’ dress trend

• The ‘naked’ dress trend has dominated the red carpet and the fashion world this year as celebrities rock sheer dresses without a bra underneath, subsequently exposing their nipples
• It particularly picked up steam in the second half of 2025 after Sydney Sweeney broke the internet with her sheer gown at the Variety Power of Women gala back in October
• Gen Z’s answer to the Hollywood bombshell went braless in the see-through silver gown, designed by Christian Cowan and Elias Matso – this kickstarted a new autumn trend amongst the A-list
• Speaking on Sydney Sweeney and the trend, body language expert Judi James said: “This dress is full retro goddess mode with a pose to match. This seems to be the most effortful look with that hourglass waistline and upwardly hiked and defined boobs encased in the sheer fabric. The swirling, flowing fabric has made Sydney a winner in terms of getting media attention.”
• The style of dress is not seen as tacky, however a celebration of the female form without being overly revealing. Instead of fully promoting nakedness, the style teases it
• Notable names who have dared to bare all include: England football star Chloe Kelly, popstars Lily Allen and Dua Lipa, GB athlete Keely Hodgkinson and Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown
