When it comes to recent fashion trends, there’s been a running theme: making dressing as fun as possible. From loud polka dots to sophisticated stripes, we all want to add a little more personality and flare to our outfits. And one of the more recent trends to enter our feeds — and our wardrobes — is sheer dressing.
Whether it’s a sheer dress, blouse or skirt, people are experimenting with revealing a little more in a way that still feels safe and covered, as if the somewhat see-through fabric acts as a shield.
In Hollywood, sheer dresses on red carpets is nothing new, so much so that it has its own name: the ‘naked dress’. Last year, we saw actresses including Millie Bobby Brown, Sydney Sweeney, Mia Goth, Dakota Johnson and Margot Robbie all step out at awards shows and premieres in different variations of naked dresses.
And while we’re not going about our day in a see-through ballgown, we certainly can take inspiration from what celebrities are wearing and integrate it into our own style.
Margot Robbie’s Wuthering Height‘s press tour looks are a source of inspiration that’s probably easier to work with. For her interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, she wore a black sheer lace dress from Alexander McQueen’s spring 2026 collection, with a asymmetrical hem and vampy, gothic aura that we’re absolutely obsessed with.
Sheer dressing is one of those trends that allows you to have a lot of fun with it. We’re seeing a lot of layering (e.g. sheer dress over pants), draping, and experimental fashion.
Want to shake things up and try out the trend for yourself? We’ve scoured the internet and collated our favourite sheer pieces into one gorg-ina guide for you to peruse at your leisure.

SNDYS Tamara Sheer Maxi Skirt
The main thing that deters a lot of people from sheer dressing is the idea of having everything on show. If you want to dabble while still being mostly covered, the SNDYS Tamara Sheer Maxi Skirt has built-in layer to minimise what can be seen. It’s not entirely opaque, but it’s a good in-between.
