While color comes and goes, fit-and-flare gives way to ball gowns and columns, and designers have their moments, the naked dress is the look that stars come to again and again. No matter the occasion — big-time awards ceremony or a ho-hum red carpet premiere — a star is bound to show up in a dress that looks like nothing more than strategic swaths of sheer panels, shimmering embellishments, and an entire roll of body tape. This year wasn't an exception, though 2019's most memorable naked looks added plumage, color, and inventive ways to incorporate a peekaboo look at what was going on underneath. And it's not just one type of star that goes for the look. Generally demure celebrities and your usual bombshells alike opted for the sexy, suggestive, and sparkling creations. Here are this year's standouts from the Met Gala, awards season, and every film festival, after-party, premiere, and charity event between.
