2025 -- the Year of the Naked DressSheer Fabrics that Redefine SensualityBy Jazmin Agudelo for Ruta Pantera on 1/6/2026 3:29:32 PM |

| The year 2025 ha witnessed an undeniable phenomenon in the fashion world: the unstoppable rise of the naked dress garments that play with transparency, mesh, and optical effects to create the illusion of nudity without going to the extreme. From the Grammy Awards in February to year-end ceremonies, red carpets have been flooded with barely-there looks, cementing this trend as the most viral and controversial of the year. It all began with a moment that set the tone: Bianca Censori, accompanied by Kanye West, appeared at the Grammys wearing a fully transparent mesh design that bordered on absolute nudity. The outfit generated instant headlines and foreshadowed a wave of similar interpretations. Censori defied convention, turning her look into a performance that split opinions seen by some as empty provocation and by others as a statement of bodily freedom. The Trend Spread Quickly Dakota Johnson emerged as one of the undisputed queens of the naked dress, wearing Gucci designs with strategic transparency at festivals such as Zurich and at charity dinners. Her choices combining lace and fluid silhouettes proved that transparency can be elegant and sophisticated, moving beyond mere shock value. Johnson opted for shimmer, ruffles, and cuts that suggested more than they revealed, solidifying her status as a style reference. Margot Robbie raised the stakes at the London premiere of her film, wearing a Spring–Summer 2025 Armani Privé gown covered in crystals and pearls that simulated embellishments on bare skin. The airy design, with floral motifs, allowed the silhouette to be glimpsed while maintaining a refined air. Robbie, newly returned to red carpets after motherhood, used the garment to celebrate her body and challenge expectations. |

Other figures such as Sydney Sweeney, in a silver chainmail look that freed the chest at a Variety event, or Halle Berry in a LaQuan Smith gown of liquid pearls at the Met Gala, contributed to the narrative. Actresses like Zoë Kravitz and Julia Fox experimented with more artistic versions, incorporating strategic hair placement or peek-a-boo panels. The list expands to include names such as Lily Allen, Sienna Miller—who revealed her pregnancy through a white mesh—and Justine Lupe, showing that the trend transcends ages and styles. This boom is no coincidence. The Spring–Summer 2025 runways, with houses such as Alberta Ferretti, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana embracing visible lingerie, floral lace, and ethereal fabrics, prepared the ground. Transparencies softened, incorporating layers of tulle and organza for a subtle halo effect, aligning with a kind of magical minimalism that contrasts with explosive layering. Designed To Spark Debate Critics see it as pandering to the male gaze or as predictability on saturated red carpets. Others celebrate it as empowerment—a woman choosing to show her body on her own terms. Designers like LaQuan Smith defend it as an expression of confidence rather than gratuitous exposure. In a cultural context marked by greater acceptance of nudity and debates around body positivity, these looks reflect a society that is more open, though deeply polarized. Looking ahead to 2026, the trend appears set to endure, evolving into more practical and functional versions. Meanwhile, 2025 will remain the year when less was definitely more — and when celebrities turned skin into the ultimate accessory. |
