Hailey Bieber has become one of the fashion icons of her generation, but her latest red carpet look has stirred up some controversy online.

The Rhode Beauty founder was a special guest at the recent Wuthering Heights premiere in Sydney, Australia, where she wore a sheer and sultry lace dress with a unique shape to it. The dress showed off her enviable figure, but also didn’t sit right with some social media users, who felt like it was one of the poorer examples of the sheer dress trend on a red carpet. Therefore, there were certainly a lot of mixed reviews in various comment sections. Read more about the saucy premiere look and how the internet reacted to it below.

Hailey Bieber Steps Out In A Sheer Lace Dress For The 'Wuthering Heights' Sydney Premiere

One of the most highly anticipated films of the winter is undoubtedly the upcoming Wuthering Heights movie, which is the latest adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic romantic novel. Directed by Emerald Fennel, known for her work on Saltburn, it stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, who have been dressing in super unique, gothic, and avant-garde looks for the premieres held so far.

 

Aside from the film's actors, celebrities are beginning to step out as premiere guests, also donning some looks that they might not have leaned towards in the past, including the one and only Hailey Bieber, who made a surprise red carpet appearance at the premiere in Sydney, Australia, on Thursday, February 12th.

 

For the special night, she wore a sheer, black lace dress with long sleeves and a coordinating bralette with extra lace trim. The gown had a mermaid-like silhouette and ruffled sleeves. She wore black undergarments and strappy black heels, and her brown hair was styled in her new signature wavy bob.

Fans React To Hailey's Premiere Look On Social Media

It's no secret that one of the trends that has taken over red carpets in the last few years, only getting more and more risque, is the sheer dress and top look. Stars are leaving little to the imagination for fans and photographers, and while some sheer looks have received lots of praise, others have gained much more negative attention.

 

There were mixed reviews coming in for the mom-of-one's dress at the Wuthering Heights premiere, with many of her loyal fans hyping up the look as more and more fashion critics expressed their disappointment. Now, it seems that the latter is filling up even more comment sections on social media platforms like Instagram, calling the dress "ridiculous."

 

"Not her best look," wrote a user on Instagram, as another simply added, "Oh dear."

 

"This just missed the mark," commented a fan. "It feels forced and inelegant."

 

One user wrote that the see-through dress caused Hailey to look "awkward," as another wrote that it looked as though she was wearing "cheap lingerie."

 

We'll be curious to see if there will be more sheer red carpet styles in the billionaire beauty mogul's future, but for now, it might be that she'll want to hold off on them for a little while.
