Celebrity style is pushing the boundaries when it comes to showing skin this year.

The sheer trend took over the front rows of New York Fashion Week in February, and the trend has now trickled down to the Oscars red carpet and Vanity Fair Oscars after party carpet. Both were filled with sheer and naked dresses.

The sheer trend picked up steam in the front rows at New York Fashion Week, with Ashley Graham, Lori Harvey and Julia Fox sporting sheer styles. At Valentino’s Paris Fashion Week show, Florence Pugh wore a sheer skirt that went viral.

Fashion is also seemingly having a free-the-nipple moment. Here are some celebrities who sported the sheer and naked trend during the Oscars festivities.

Shay Mitchell

Shay Mitchell took a page from Janelle Monáe’s book on wearing a sheer black dress. The corset and skirt didn’t distract from the elegance of her black evening gown.

The Naked Dress

Emily Ratajkowski

Model Emily Ratajkowski attended the Vanity Fair Oscar party, opting for a Feben dress with bodice detailing over her chest and a sheer silhouette for the rest of her body. It was a bold choice on the model’s part, as only her underwear left her truly covered.
