15 Sheer Looks to Nail the Met Gala Trend

The 2025 Met Gala brought a slew of trends for us to gawk over (and raise eyebrows at) from durags and pinstripes to no-pants ensembles. Although this year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which highlights Black Dandyism, was far too specific to miss, some stars took the standard approach with sheer dresses. For what seems like the umpteenth year in a row, many industry figures donned the trend in all different silhouettes, from Kylie Jenner’s gray-and-black custom Ferragamo ensemble, to Halle Berry’s vagina-baring dress by LaQuan Smith. While sheer dresses were ever-present during fashion’s biggest night, the look isn’t exactly new. It’s most popularly referred to as the “naked dress” trend, which is beloved by celebrities for not only many Met Galas past — from FKA Twigs’s bejeweled co-ord in 2024 to Beyoncé’s sequin gown in 2015 — but every major red carpet.

Throughout the years, they’ve graduated from your average see-through slip to ensembles adorned with revealing details. From cutouts with sheer overlays in full-coverage dresses to see-through catsuits, the sheer trend is clearly here to stay. And of course, we’ve gathered some of the best sultry styles that will help you nail it.
