8 of the best see-through outfits celebrities wore in 2023.
In 2023, the world of celebrity fashion saw a notable trend towards a “less is more” approach. The sheer fabric became the go-to choice for Hollywood stars at major events and red carpets, shaping an unofficial starlet uniform. Barely-there dresses took centre stage, creating some of the most memorable fashion moments of the year. Mesh accessories, such as Alaïa and The Row’s cult-favourite ballet flats, also embraced the trend.
The sheer fabric frenzy extended beyond the realm of celebrity. The Crown, a popular television series, even recreated Kate Middleton’s iconic see-through dress in its final season, further solidifying the trend’s influence on pop culture. This daring trend also found its way onto the runways of Paris and Milan, making an impact on the fashion capitals of the world.
As the trend gained momentum, expectant mothers proudly showcased their baby bumps, while others confidently embraced the liberation of the nipple. The fashion landscape became a canvas for designers and celebrities alike to explore the boundaries of exposure and self-expression.
Looking back at 2023, we celebrate the fearless celebrities who embraced sheer fashion moments, taking risks and pushing the boundaries of traditional style. This year serves as a testament to the ever-evolving nature of fashion, where confidence and individuality reign supreme.
MARGOT ROBBIE
In November, Margot Robbie turned heads in a Schiaparelli gown that blended two distinct fabrics, one of which was sheer.

Exploring the sheer trend wasn’t exclusive to women, as some fashion-forward men also embraced it. A case in point was Timothée Chalamet, impeccably dressed in Tom Ford, who confidently rocked the sheer look at a premiere event for Wonka.
