The 31 Best Naked Celebrity Dressing Moments Of 2025
Less is more.
Trends come and go, but if there’s one fashion concept that has stood the test of time, it’s “naked dressing.” The phrase entered the pop-culture lexicon during Sex And The City, when Charlotte York famously called Carrie Bradshaw’s nude DKNY spaghetti-strap mini “the naked dress.” Bradshaw wore the sheer style on her first date with Mr. Big and again for a photo shoot promoting her fictional newspaper column, an image that would later loom large on a city bus in the show’s iconic opening credits. While the series may have cleverly given the phenomenon a name, the act of dressing to reveal the body long predates it.
Dating back to 1925, sheer gowns appeared on silent film and vaudeville stars like Clara Bow and Mae West, pushing boundaries well before the red carpet became a global spectacle. The look resurfaced with renewed shock value in the 1960s, most notably when Marilyn Monroe serenaded President John F. Kennedy in a crystal-embellished, body-skimming gown that blurred the line between clothing and illusion. (It was most recently reworn by Kim Kardashian.) Decades later, figures like Jane Birkin, Cher, Madonna, and Kate Moss continued to test the limits of transparency, often courting controversy in the process. They walked so today’s celebs could run.
In 2025, naked dressing reached new heights. Some celebrities, including Dakota Johnson and Julia Fox, leaned fully into the look. Others, like Margot Robbie and Justine Lupe, experimented with sheer silhouettes for the first time. Even the fashion establishment took note. Anna Wintour and leaders at the Metropolitan Museum of Art recently announced a forthcoming Costume Institute exhibition centered on the relationship between the body and fashion, signaling a broader institutional embrace of transparency and exposure.
Before diving headfirst into another year of barely-there looks, it’s worth pausing to reflect. Ahead, a look back at the 31 most unforgettable naked dressing moments from 2025.
