Jennifer Lawrence proved to everyone that the "naked dress" trend that took the world by storm last year is truly alive and kicking.
The Die My Love actress, 35, wowed everyone when she stepped out at the Golden Globes on Monday, wearing the most resplendent sheer gown by Sarah Burton for Givenchy. The impeccable gown featured a plunging neckline, waist-cinching cut-outs and was embroidered with green and pink flowers.

Sarah Burton was the artist genius behind the future Queen's iconic lace white wedding gown, which she wore on her royal wedding day when she married Prince William in 2011.

"Miss Middleton chose British brand Alexander McQueen for the beauty of its craftsmanship and its respect for traditional workmanship and the technical construction of clothing," the Palace said in a statement at the time. "Miss Middleton wished for her dress to combine tradition and modernity with the artistic vision that characterises Alexander McQueen’s work," it continued.
The elegant lace dress is believed to have cost her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, £250,000.
Not just one
This wasn't the only dress that Sarah designed for the big day. Kate changed into a second gown for her wedding reception, which was also a masterpiece by Sarah. It featured a satin A-line skirt and a sweetheart neckline, which she accessorised with a fluffy cream cardigan.

The designer revealed that not even her mother knew ahead of the career-defining moment. "Even my mum called me and asked me, ‘You would tell me, wouldn’t you?" she told the Times.

Having her looks worn by Hollywood A-listers alike, from Michelle Pfeiffer to Lady Gaga, if one thing's for sure, it's that Sarah knows how to create an award-winning gown.
