Hate ‘em or love ‘em, sheer has been a celeb favourite since a long time. The first notable sighting was when Marilyn Monroe wore a risqué gown to John F Kennedy’s birthday party in 1962. Then see-through outfits saw their popularity peak in the 90’s and noughties with everyone from Rihanna to Priyanka Chopra donning them at the red carpet (remember that iconic green JLo dress that left very little to the imagination?). Now, sheer has shimmied its way back into the top fashion charts—Florence Pugh made heads turn (and internet trolls to come after her) in July when she attended the Valentino Haute Couture Fall/Winter 22/23 fashion show in a nearly-naked Barbie pink gown by the designer. We at Cosmo stalked our favourite celebs on Instagram to bring you their latest sheer looks.
