Sheer Dresses Were Literally Everywhere at the 2023 VMAs

glamour.com:

for a minute now, and at the 2023 VMAs, the see-through look positively took over. Megan Thee Stallion took lingerie-inspired fashion to the next level with a sheer black corset gown.

Karol G took the naked dress and made it nakeder with a transparent skin-colored lace dress. Doja Cat's cobweb dress barely used fabric at all.Arguably one of the grandmothers of sheer red carpet couture is Gwyneth Paltrow, who practically caused an international incident with her visible nipples on a 2002 Academy Awards red carpet.

The fact that became so “infamous” in the early 2000s that it made headlines when her daughter Apple borrowed it two decades later seems almost quaint now.

These days, everyone from to to Ciara has gone nearly naked on the carpet.And where better to push the transparent envelope than MTV's video music awards?The rapper's boudoir-inspired sheer black dress was, as she might say, real hot girl shit.Colombian singer Karol G topped her nude lace gown with an equally glamorous coat in the same color.Doja Cat's was among the nakedest of the night, layered over nude-colored thong underwear.On the more demure end of the see-through spectrum was Tiffany Haddish, who layered a crystal-encrusted halter neck slip over her strapless black bodysuit.By Hanna LustigBy Arancha GamoBy Ana MoralesInstead of head-to-toe sheer, Cyn Santana made a statement with a sheer panel in the bodice of her black gown.By Hanna LustigBy Arancha GamoBy Ana MoralesBy Ruhama WolleMore from GlamourSee More Stories© 2023 Condé Nast.
