It’s Time To Say Goodbye To The ‘Naked’ Dress

Sunday night’s Oscars was not boring because there wasn’t any drama. The red carpet was filled with the underwhelming, overused and repetitive “naked” dress trend — if you can still call something that Kate Moss was doing 30 years ago a “trend” — was regrettably abundant.

Ciara, Alessandra Ambersio and Daisy Edgar-Jones were the worst offenders at the Vanity Fair Afterparty. However, Emily Ratajkowski opted for the worn out look.

The first is the “naked” The dress is just not flattering. The risque look can’t even be described as suggestive — it’s not suggesting anything; it’s just spilling the beans all over the red carpet.

It is generally bad for people to notice your face if you wear an outfit that hides it. When used to highlight the wearer’s features, hair, or the cut of an ensemble, neutral and nude tones work well. If neutral tones are used to emphasize a visible bra, this effect is totally lost.

The visual contrast between see-through mesh fabrics and skin tones is not enough to make them stunning. “Naked” dresses rely on the wow factor of the wearer being, well, nearly naked — a factor which is reduced considerably when you’re the hundredth celebrity to do it.

Hunter Scafer, a Vanity Fair attendee decided to maximize skin per square inches. forego A shirt made of one feather and a shirt for it is the best proof.

For comparison — Kate Hudson’s afterparty look, with its severely plunging neckline, was just as daring as the fishing net get-ups above, but the bright, solid color helped balance the suggestive neckline instead of competing with it. Although the dress is striking, her face isn’t lost amongst the sequined underwear and chain mail.

Women’s magazines have gender studies majors that try to cast the right kind of casting. “naked” Also, dressing as a symbol to support women’s rights and abortion is not appropriate. Marie Claire quoted “trend forecaster” Jessica Richards Please explain This is a key “reason sheer pieces have been trending” It is in response the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. “Body-baring trends defy a climate created by legislation that restricts women’s autonomy of their bodies,” Richards insisted without explaining why the trend began so long before. Dobbs It was voted.

It is not empowering to tell women that they must be stripped down in order to become empowered. The former tells women that their worth is determined by how they look, while the latter encourages them to shun the beautiful functions of their bodies.

Perhaps the reason is the “naked” Our culture has made sex boring and dull, and it makes dress seem so old and tired. Our casual irreverence with sex makes it less important. Little boys believe that pornography consumption is normal and healthy, and little girls think they can overcome the difficulties of puberty simply by becoming boys. Young people are increasingly having sex in an age where sexual pleasure is easier than ever. We need less of it.

As with a naked culture — Burke might say our “decent drapery of life” Has been “rudely torn off” — so with “naked” dresses. It’s not interesting to expose everything in a society that conceals everything.

(When Marilyn Monroe made her debut a Similar Look to the “naked” Wear her infamous robes “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” On the other side, the gown was too transgressive and left enough for the imagination to be intriguing. She didn’t have her underwear exposed!

Let’s hope it works! “naked” The trend towards dress is the same as skinny jeans. Hollywood is in a creative drought — not just in the studio but also on the red carpet.
