From Florence Pugh’s #freethenip rant after fans commented on her sheer gown at Valentino’s recent show in Rome, to Olivia Wilde’s sheer silver moment at the Academy Museum Gala — going bra-less is having a well deserved moment in the sun.
And obviously, we’re here for it.
It’s long been a conversation among women, that men are able to go topless without raising an eyebrow, while women’s boobs are treated like they are something shocking to behold.
Given this, it’s refreshing to see celebrities flaunt their bra-free choice underneath sheer dresses at fancy events.
But even generally, sheer is very in right now. It’s almost impossible to scroll my Instagram feed and not see at least one sheer dress or top, whether it exposes nipple or not.
So, from Abbie Chatfield‘s recent little brown dress number, to Olivia Wilde and Kaia Gerber‘s sheer gowns at the Academy Museum Gala, to Dua Lipa‘s wedding guest attire; here are eight celebrity-approved sheer dresses, and where to shop them.
Farfetch
Santa Brands Diamonds rhinestone-embellished mesh maxi dress
This Santa Brands diamonds rhinestone-embellished mesh maxi dress ($1,785) has a bit of a similar vibe to Wilde’s. It’s sheer and metallic, with a fitted bodice and long sleeves. The splits up both legs give it a slightly “sexier” look, also making it more versatile — it could more casually be worn with combat boots.
Farfetch
Santa Brands crystal-embellished feather-trim minidress
Another Santa Brands number, this crystal-embellished feather-trim minidress ($2,496) is a pretty in pink number. It’s shorter than Wilde’s but is still in metallic sheer, with the addition of soft pink feathers on the sleeves.

Abbie Chatfield is living her best single life right now. She wore this sexy sheer mini dress to her friend Kath Ebbs‘ birthday party the other night.
REVOLVE
Maya Dress Bronx and Banco
This Maya Dress, by Bronx and Banco ($976.02) is a longer version of Abbie’s number. With horizontal ruching, this style would look fab on curves, really accentuating any figure. It’s slightly metallic, sheer and figure-hugging. Overall: a vibe.
REVOLVE
L'Academie Olicia Sheer Maxi Mock Neck Dress
This L’Academie Olicia Sheer Maxi Mock Neck Dress ($404.60) is a more naked version of Abbie’s dress. It’s seriously hot. OMW to add to cart.

Kourtney Kardashian Barker Mesh Maxi Dress
This Kourtney Kardashian Barker Mesh Maxi Dress ($55) is the perfect classic sheer black mesh maxi. You could wear a leotard underneath it (if you want more coverage) or go full sexy lingerie vibes.
Mytheresa
Norma Kamali turtleneck jersey gown
This Norma Kamali turtleneck jersey gown ($495) is giving more Kaia Gerber vibes, with a full skirt and high neck. It’s only slighty sheer, but is still super sexy.
REVOLVE
Nookie Eden Gown
This Nookie Eden Gown ($672.56) is a simple sheer white number. With corset boning, a strapless bodice and horizontal ruching around the hips — this dress does all the work for you.
Showpo
Stunning View Bodice Maxi Dress in White Mesh
We love this Stunning View Bodice Maxi Dress in White Mesh ($89.95) with it’s princess skirt, front slit and sheer vibes. Like Lipa’s wedding outfit, this dress has the covering over the boobs — offering coverage and comfort.
