How to Style a Sheer Dress Like a Celebrity

The sheer dress trend has officially gone from daring red carpet moment to everyday fashion statement, and celebrities are showing us exactly how to style it with confidence and personality. Once considered a risky, high-fashion choice, sheer dresses have evolved into a wardrobe staple—thanks to the rise of naked dressing, where what you wear underneath becomes just as important as the dress itself.

L’OFFICIEL rounds up the sheer dress trends spotted on our favorite celebrities, offering styling tips and inspiration to help you pull off the look and stay true to your own style. 

One of the most popular ways to embrace the trend is through a classic sheer mesh black dress. It's sleek, simple, and endlessly versatile. Paired with opaque matching black undergarments, like a fitted bra and high-waisted briefs, the look feels polished without sacrificing allure. Hailey Bieber has championed this style, blending minimalism with edge.

But for those looking to add a little more drama, Eiza González offers a more stylish alternative—styling her black sheer dress with mesh Gucci-detailed undergarments that turn lingerie into the star of the show. It’s proof that even see-through pieces can be refined, especially when the underlayers are treated like accessories themselves. But don't forget about the actual accessories. Like González, she turned something that seems so naked into a full glam look, with sunglasses, a purse, and chic heels to add more depth to the look. 

Megan Fox takes a different approach, often using her sheer dresses as an opportunity for full monochromatic moments. From burgundy mesh dresses layered over matching tonal heels and outerwear, she proves that when it comes to naked dressing, the more layering, the better. This tonal styling keeps the look cohesive while enhancing its impact—making sheer dresses feel less like a statement and more like a curated outfit.

For those drawn to a more romantic, bohemian aesthetic, Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh are perfect inspiration. Both have worn sheer dresses with soft, flowing fabrics, embroidery, and a breezy ease that feels just right for spring. Brands like Chloé are go-tos for this particular vibe, delivering lightweight, ethereal designs that align perfectly with the season’s free-the-nipple ethos. It's a sheer style that doesn’t scream for attention, but rather invites it in softly.

While layering with a bra is always a safe choice if you're not ready to bare it all, the bohemian sheer dress encourages a full embrace of naked dressing—with nothing to conceal and no reason to feel anything but confident.

On the opposite end of the minimalism spectrum is Emma Corrin, who has redefined how sheer dresses can embrace maximalism. While some might attempt to tone down a sheer look, Corrin goes all in, choosing bold colors, intricate textures, and unexpected silhouettes. From vibrant lime greens to electric blues and fuchsia lace trims, Corrin makes it clear that transparency doesn’t have to mean simplicity. Have fun with it. 

Then there’s the sheer dress twist we didn’t see coming: the cheeky back reveal. Zoë Kravitz gave this trend a new spin with her black dress that was entirely opaque in the front—classic and understated—until she turned around to reveal a sheer, bejeweled panel that exposed the back of her dress and, subtly, the top of her backside. This kind of peekaboo detailing shows how designers are continuing to innovate within the sheer space, offering just a little tease rather than a full reveal.

Whether you’re into clean, minimalist mesh or going all in on maximalist glamour, there’s a sheer dress for every style and personality. Naked dressing doesn’t have to be intimidating—it can be powerful and playful. With the right layering, undergarments, or surprising design twists, sheer dresses prove that transparency might just be the boldest way to express yourself this season.
