As showcased by Kim Kardashian, the trend of decorative fabrics, ultra-thin mesh, and sultry lace is set to dominate in 2026. These elements are essential for looking stunning even when you’re not fully dressed.
The founder of SKIMS graced the New Year in a black metallic mesh gown from Ludovic de Saint Sernin’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection. The sleeveless, backless piece featured silver accents along the bust and hem, with a daring thigh-high slit. The bodice was inspired by Robert Mapplethorpe’s 1985 photograph “Orchid,” which provided a crystal embellishment.
Kim complemented her striking dress with a black fur wrap for a dinner at Matsuhisa in Aspen. Her long, raven hair was styled into soft waves, and her makeup featured a bronze smoky eye, a touch of blush, and shiny lips, giving her a gentle glow.
After a year where revealing dresses reigned supreme, Kim’s daring look signals its comeback. Notable outfits include Margot Robbie’s jeweled Armani Privé creation, Dakota Johnson and Demi Moore’s lace Gucci ensembles, and Lily Allen’s iconic “revenge dress” by Coleen Allen.
This fashion style is characterized by materials that seem almost ethereal—chainmail, lace, sheer mesh, and airy organza—creating a dreamy and barely-there effect.
Tania Leslau, the Fashion Features Editor for HELLO! Fashion, shared insights about Kim’s choice and the enduring naked dress trend. “Kim Kardashian’s sheer halterneck gown embraces the naked dress wave that shows no signs of fading in 2026,” she explains. “The look aligns with her signature style and her on-screen personality—glamorous, festive, with a touch of playful femininity.” The Kardashian-Jenner clan has almost turned Ludovic de Saint Sernin’s femme fatale-inspired designs into a signature, and Kim’s diamond-encrusted outfit adds a fun, early 2000s vibe to this trend.
As a fashion writer, I’ve explored Kim’s frequent embrace of skin-tight, sexy outfits. Last October, she made headlines after revealing she spent a night with two naked women.
Kim wore a sheer, corseted mini dress to the official afterparty for her Hulu show “All’s Fair” in London. The look combined a structured, boned bustier with a champagne satin mini skirt, completed with gold lace-up stilettos and matching mesh gloves.
Before heading to a party hosted by her friend Mert Alas, she changed into an even more daring ensemble. Kim elevated the naked dress trend with a sleek corset dress featuring striking black cutouts made from braided hair, layered over a beige, boned bodice decorated with silver beads and diamonds, truly pushing the boundaries of sexy fashion.
