Celebs Are Now Wearing Sheer Dresses That COMPLETELY Show Their Underwear--It’s Unreal!

Sheer dresses have been trending this season and proving that less can definitely be more. From the red carpet of the Met Gala to your Instagram feed, celebrities have been taking on the look and leaving very little to the imagination.

Olivia Culpo turned up the heat in Miami when she stepped out wearing a so-sheer-it’s-barely-there silver dress, complete with crystal detailing and a cleavage-boosting halter front. The 27-year-old model and actress posted the jaw-dropping look to her Instagram account just before heading to the celebration of the Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit edition, which she graces the pages of. Culpo held true to the less is more mantra by accessorizing solely with a pair of strappy, silver stilettos, which kept the dress front and center.

Stella Maxwell recently took the sheer trend out of this world by wearing this star-adorned Moschino by Jeremy Scott dress to the 2019 Met Gala. The Victoria’s Secret Angel’s enviable figure was on full display as she posed for the cameras and walked the iconic steps. By some form of magic, she managed to keep the sequined star embellishments in just the right places to avoid a red carpet wardrobe mishap.

Leave it to Kylie Jenner to take an already edgy trend to a blushing new level. The social media and beauty mogul posted this look to her Instagram account where it racked up over 6 million likes. The see-through sheer dress showed off Jenner’s signature curves and made her neon lingerie set fully visible. The style combination only Jenner could pull off has us seriously reconsidering the idea of visible panty lines as a fashion no-no.
