The ‘naked dress’ has been making headlines since the 60s. Starting with Marilyn Monroe when she dared to bare it all at a White House event. Since then, the style has made waves on red carpets and runways with Rihanna making the most talked about appearance, with a tantalizing number for her CFDA Fashion Icon award.
The name ‘naked dress’ initially meant the dress was the same colour as the wearer’s skin. Lately though, we’ve seen it come in variations with sheer chiffon, mesh, lace and some strategically placed cut-outs.
The look is undeniably bold and risqué, but fortunately for us there are a number of ways to style it without looking too scandalous! You can easily pair the dress with a modest long slip or throw it over a sexy bodycon dress.
