Celebrities Embrace Sheer, Nearly Naked Looks

A wave of sheer and “naked dress” looks has dominated recent fashion weeks, campaigns and celebrity posts as stars intentionally go braless or nearly nude on runways, red carpets and social media. Kim Kardashian promoted SKIMS’ Milky Sheer line and a Nike x SKIMS collaboration in plunging, braless looks, while Kendall Jenner closed Schiaparelli’s Spring/Summer 2026 show in a sheer polka-dot gown with feathered sleeves and has fronted Calzedonia’s lace-tights campaign. Heidi Klum attended the VETEMENTS SS26 show braless in a slinky, see-through white gown—posing with daughter Leni—and Kesha arrived at the Tom Ford show appearing topless under a blue, sheet-like dress. Other provocative promos included Taylor Swift posting pantsless, corseted images for The Life of a Showgirl, Halle Berry sharing wispy naked-dress beach selfies to champion menopause awareness, and stars such as Emily Ratajkowski, Demi Lovato and Christina Aguilera revisiting revealing eras in campaign or album materials. Observers say the trend functions both as a publicity strategy and a statement of body confidence and empowerment, with designers and celebrities pushing boundaries and sparking conversation.
