I’ll never forget when Megan Fox appeared at the 2021 VMAs in a completely sheer Thierry Mugler dress – I’d never seen anything like it. It clung to her body like it was wet, and she styled her hair to look similarly damp. That dress, quickly dubbed the “naked dress,” became incredibly popular for a while, with celebrities like Florence Pugh and others embracing the look. The trend eventually faded, but recently, stars like Margot Robbie and Jenna Ortega have brought it back into the spotlight.
Both women are approaching the style differently, and a recent expert analysis explained why it remains popular – it’s more than just being see-through.
How Margot Robbie And Jenna Ortega Brought Back The Naked Dress
As a total cinema fan, I’ve been keeping up with all the red carpet looks, and it’s been fun to see Margot Robbie and Jenna Ortega both embrace the ‘naked dress’ trend lately! Margot really turned heads in a stunning, sheer Armani Privé gown while promoting her new film, *Big Bold Beautiful Journey*. It’s been everywhere online, and honestly, I’ve been loving her focus on corset-style dresses all week – she’s really making a statement.
I was absolutely stunned when Jenna Ortega walked onto the stage at the 2025 Emmys! Her dress was incredible – a gorgeous, jewel-covered piece by Givenchy, designed by Sarah Barton. It was definitely a statement-making look, and honestly, everyone’s been talking about it ever since – it was so eye-catching!
Both outfits definitely fall into the “naked dress” category, but they’re a fresh take on the trend – a revival, rather than just a continuation of what we’ve seen before. Interestingly, an expert recently explained that the enduring appeal of this look isn’t actually about revealing skin.
Why The Naked Dress Red Carpet Trend Is Back
Stylist Megan Watkins, who works with SilkFred, recently told Hello magazine why she thinks the ‘naked dress’ remains popular. She explained it’s all about finding the right ‘balance,’ which seems like a good point.
See-through dresses are popular again because they manage to be both bold and stylish. Celebrities are drawn to them because they create a look that’s both strong and fun.
It’s surprising to see so many celebrities wearing revealing dresses, but stylist Watkins explains it’s not just about showing skin. She believes these dresses are actually a form of confidence, helping them feel powerful on the red carpet.
Margot Robbie, Jenna Ortega, and Charli XCX demonstrate that the ‘naked dress’ trend isn’t simply about revealing clothing. It’s more about skillful styling and wearing outfits with self-assurance.
The way she explained it completely changed how I see that dress. Plus, if heavily beaded clothes and statement jewelry are what’s trending, I’m definitely on board!
