The British supermodel <a href="https://www.hellomagazine.com/hfm/20221110156626/kate-moss-coke-sheer-dress/" id="ez3MbSiZM8"><span id="eo_g1OghCIyH">Kate Moss stunned the nation in 1993</span></a> when she stepped out in her famously ultra-sheer dress by Liza Bruce at an Elite Model Agency party in London.

"When I went out, I didn't think it was that see-through. But, obviously, it was," she said recently, reflecting on the moment that unequivocally left its mark on the 90s zeitgeist. While the star's nearly-naked appearance may have been unintentional, the impact was mighty.&nbsp;

Teyanna Taylor

Teyana Taylor was simply a vision attending the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Week Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week back in January. 

Making the cobbled streets of the French capital her runway, the Oscar nominee paired her full lace sheer gown complete with a floor-length structured coat.

The only accessory worthy of this look was a dazzling pearl tiara placed on the actress' head, her platforms elevating her heavenly look.

The American actress, who shot to fame in the Hunger Games franchise, certainly fed our sartorial appetites with her 2026 Golden Globes gown. 

The floral masterpiece was a chic contribution to the beloved 'naked dress' archives, with the Die My Love actress slipping into a custom masterpiece by Givenchy, designed by Sarah Burton, featuring nude mesh, side cutouts, a plunging neckline, and hand-embroidered floral details.

As for accessories, the Oscar winner added a matching powder pink satin overcoat, Swarovski diamond jewellery, a vintage 1916 Longines watch, and a custom embroidered clutch - simply divine!

We couldn't do a round-up of the best 'naked dresses' without mentioning this resplendent all-lace gown worn by the Oscar winner at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party this year.

The killer creation was a perfect ensemble created by Karla Gil.

The ethereal piece was a sheer lace long-sleeve top featuring pleated cups and a flowing, camera-ready gown complete with a draped satin skirt.

Da'Vine completed her look with a pair of ivory platform heels, the perfect shoes to accentuate her ice-white look.

Pint-sized pop princess Sabrina Carpenter has also been one to bend the knee to the risque trend. 

The Espresso hitmaker was a vision in lemon when she attended the Dior 2027 Cruise Show.

Creative director Jonathan Anderson designed the coquettish delight, which showed off her lace bra. The blonde bombshell completed the look with a matching white lace hair bow and perfect Dior peep-toe shoes.

Youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner brood, Kylie Jenner, chose a rather striking naked dress for her appearance at this year's Met Gala.

The billionaire beauty mogul wore a custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown designed by Daniel Roseberry.

The nude illusion corset featured a rigid brown corset toile bustier and had a sfumato effect. The look was complete with a voluminous butter duchess satin skirt.

And the devil was certainly in the details: the dress finished with over 2,000 satin stitch balls, 10,000 natural baroque pearls, and more than 7,000 painted pearlescent fish scales.

As for her accessories, Kylie added an antique silver necklace with pearls, rhinestones, and hand-sculpted bird heads.

Personifying all that is meant by her 'BRAT Summer' British popstar Charli XCX collected her five Brit Awards for her era-defining album earlier this year, wearing a daring black gown by Dilara Findikoglu, which she paired with a gauzy black veil. 

Addressing her daring number on stage while accepting one of her awards, she said: "I've heard that ITV were complaining about my nipples. I feel like we're in the era of 'free the nipple' though, right?"

Marvel star Florence Pugh has been a long-standing advocate for freeing the nipple, but one particular occasion in 2024 saw the actress looking particularly ravishing. Stepping out at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, Florence, 29, wore an impeccable sheer gown by Simone Rocha from her Haute Couture collection with Jean Paul Gaultier.

Talking about her penchant for a see-through look, she previously told Vogue: "I've never been scared of what’s underneath the fabric. If I'm happy in it, then I'm gonna wear it. Of course, I don’t want to offend people, but I think my point is: How can my nipples offend you that much?"

The British model Cara Delevigne has always made her stance on nudity clear as a long-standing supporter of Free the Nipple, the International Feminist campaign that pushes for gender equality regarding body freedom. 

And the proof was in the puddling at the 2022 Met Gala when Cara was pictured on the iconic red steps, embracing the theme "In America: An Anthology of Fashion," honouring the "gilded age" dress code, Cara opted for a Dior suit, the jacket of which she slipped off, embracing a topless look, her torso spraypainted in gold. As well as embracing equality, the look was also about embracing her psoriasis, a condition which caused her to leave the modelling industry in 2015.

"People would put on gloves and not want to touch me because they thought it was, like, leprosy or something," she previously told the Times.

Emma Corrin never fails to cause a stir with her eccentric sense of style, often opting for a bra-free ensemble on the red carpet. One exceptional gown she wore was to the London premiere of Nosferatu, where she joined her co-stars Lily Rose Depp and Aaron Taylor-Johnson on the red carpet in London. 

The pale lemon-hued dress was a creation by Alexander McQueen."We wanted something that felt like a nod to the film in terms of ruffles and a sense of romanticism," Emma's stylist for the press tour, Harry Lambert, told Vogue.

British popstar Dua Lipa's sartorial portfolio is nothing short of perfection. Whether she's strutting on stage in an all-lace catsuit or basking in the sunshine in a cut-out beach dress, the One hitmaker never misses. 

The 30-year-old is seldom afraid of embracing a risque look, which was evident in the silver fishnet see-through Botega gown she wore for the Barbie premiere in London in 2023. Talking about her sense of style in an interview with Refinery29, she previously said: "Everyone is allowed to wear whatever the [expletive] they want, and it’s so important that they do."
