BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — At the recent Oscars ceremony, celebrities showcased their glamorous styles, but as the night progressed into the after-parties, a striking fashion trend emerged: naked fashion. This daring style choice was prominently featured at high-profile events like the Vanity Fair party, where many guests embraced the idea that sometimes, less truly is more.
Among the stars making headlines for their audacious outfits was actor-director Olivia Wilde, who donned a sheer, embroidered lace negligee by Chloé. This stunning piece included intricate details like “metal ends and embroidered lace lingerie panties,” showcasing Wilde's unique sense of style. In contrast, Julia Fox took the naked trend a step further with her eye-catching see-through wrap dress, which appeared to feature only strategically placed hair extensions as embellishment.
Doja Cat captivated audiences during the Oscar telecast with her performance of “Diamonds Are Forever” in an outfit that seemed to consist solely of diamonds, leaving little to the imagination. Later at the Vanity Fair after-party, she stunned attendees in a custom Balmain strapless gown adorned with fringes. The designer revealed that this masterpiece was a labor of love, crafted by 39 artisans over the course of 3,450 hours, inspired by the iconic Oscar statue and reflecting the female form through hand-threaded glass beads in nine shades of gold.
Kendall Jenner also made a splash at the Vanity Fair event, wearing a vintage 1992 Mugler piece made of black lace, cleverly designed from rubber. Her choice highlighted the continuing evolution of the naked fashion trend, which, while it may seem fresh to some, has been gaining momentum for several years.
While many Oscar attendees choose more traditional outfits for the main event, it is often at the after-parties where the naked fashion trend truly shines. Hirsch explained, “It’s the time when attendees can let down their hair after hours, and generally speaking, it’s a lower-stakes red carpet and less formal event than the ceremony itself.” She emphasized that “next-to-naked dressing matches that energy,” making after-parties the perfect setting for such bold fashion statements.
As the Oscars continue to inspire fashion choices, the naked trend appears to be firmly entrenched in celebrity culture, captivating audiences and setting new standards for daring red carpet looks.
