Celebrities turned heads at the Met Gala on Monday night with their daring fashion choices, opting for sheer gowns that left little to the imagination. From multicolored strings of beads to trompe l’oeil designs, stars like Rita Ora, Doja Cat, and Kylie Minogue embraced the trend of “naked dressing.”
The red carpet was transformed into a showcase of delicate mesh, lace, and beads, allowing for risqué glimpses of skin. This bold fashion statement harkened back to iconic moments in red carpet history, such as Rose McGowan’s backless mesh dress at the Video Music Awards in 1998.
The theme of the evening, “The Garden of Time,” seemed to inspire designers to push the boundaries of traditional red carpet attire. Celebrities like Greta Lee, Jennifer Lopez, and Elle Fanning stunned in their see-through gowns from top designers like Loewe, Schiaparelli, and Balmain.
Model Emily Ratajkowski, who wore a backless Versace gown with beaded tendrils, expressed confidence in her revealing look. “It feels really natural on me,” she said. “Comfortable, truly.”
The trend of sheer gowns at the Met Gala may have raised eyebrows, but it certainly made a statement on the red carpet. As fashion continues to evolve, it seems that less is more for these daring celebrities.
