The Most Striking Celebrity Naked Dresses, From Sabrina Carpenter to Florence Pugh

It's 2023, and naked dresses remain all the rage. With the likes of Rita Ora, Florence Pugh, and Dua Lipa all stripping down in the name of fashion during red carpet events (and even for their hair appointments ), we've got plenty of fashion mood-board inspiration for dressing up to reveal all. Of course, naked dresses aren't exactly new. Back in 2000, Jennifer Lopez hit the red carpet in that scandalous green Versace dress with its iconic deep plunging neckline. The world was aghast that she had the gall to show her navel, cleavage, and thighs all in one unprecedented outfit. Fast forward nearly two decades, and that green dress that made jaws drop looks pretty tame in comparison. Today, the naked dress trend reigns supreme, and while it requires only the tiniest amount of fabric, one needs the biggest dose of confidence to pull it off. Also just as important? The briefs, shorts, or thong you might wear underneath , providing just the tiniest bit of coverage. Check ou...

Anne Hathaway's Red Carpet Evolution, From Khakis to Couture

From her breakout roles in "The Princess Diaries" and "Ella Enchanted" to her recent performances in " Armageddon Time " and " WeCrashed ," Anne Hathaway has embarked on quite the impressive style transformation, today positioning herself as a connoisseur of all things glamour on the red carpet. With Bulgari and Versace campaigns under her belt and a taste for other high-end luxury labels such as Valentino, Ralph Lauren, and Armani, she is now expected to make a sartorial statement at any event she attends. Hathaway, 40, works with stylist Erin Walsh on her outfits, which have recently taken on an edgier tone thanks to touches of patent leather, shorter hemlines, and even ornamental embellishments like sequins or the beaded hood she wore to Bulgari's high-jewelry event in Venice, Italy. Most recently, Hathaway stepped out at the The Albies, hosted by the Clooney Foundation, at the New York Public Library in New York City, sporting a sli...

The Open-Back Fashion Trend Has Hollywood in a Chokehold

Naked dresses and boob-window cutouts are slowly taking a back seat to the next big fashion trend on the rise: backless silhouettes. Celebrities are fueling the craze by wearing open-back outfits at red carpet events, fashion shows, and beyond. The phrase "business in the front, party in the back" has never been more applicable. Backless dresses were a popular pick at the 2023 MTV VMAs in September, with singers including Shakira , Kelsea Ballerini, and Dove Cameron wearing gowns that dipped so low, they nearly showed butt cleavage . The trend has popped up plenty during Fashion Month , too; Irina Shayk modeled a metallic halter dress with a completely open back on the Mowalola runway at London Fashion Week, while Hailey Bieber, Emma Chamberlain , and Cara Delevingne attended shows in back-exposing looks. Stars aren't only choosing backless outfits for fancy red carpet outings. Just take it from Dua Lipa, Jordyn Woods, and Jennifer Lopez , who've all repped the...

Ab Windows Are the Latest Dress Trend Celebrities Are Loving

From extreme hip cleavage to kitschy butt cutouts , designers and stars alike have become increasingly more creative when it comes to showing skin. The ab window is another daring trend that's recently surfaced, with celebrities stepping out in dresses featuring standout cutouts to highlight their core. The style is characterized by its singular "window" into the abs, often designed in a diamond shape. While the aptly placed stomach cutout isn't new, more stars have been experimenting with the trend as of late. At the Acne Studios show during Paris Fashion Week in September, Rosalía wore a black dress by the designer featuring a sizable cutout spotlighting her abs. Similarly, in July, Nicole Kidman wore a black Saint Laurent gown with a romantic rosette detail and diamond-shaped ab window at the London premiere of "Special Ops: Lioness." Coco Jones took on a different interpretation of the style at the BET Awards in June, wearing a sequined red dress ...

Selena Gomez's Best Outfits, From Flirty Minidresses to Gowns

It takes a lot of confidence to completely revamp your look, especially when you're in the public eye. Selena Gomez knows a thing or two about that. The 31-year-old songstress and Rare Beauty founder has managed to successfully define her style from the street to the red carpet, but as they say, "it takes a village." Gomez can credit much of her evolution to stylist Kate Young , who she began working with in 2015 while promoting her Revival tour, as well as Erin Walsh , who has been curating her wardrobe as of late. While she has worked closely with Louis Vuitton's Nicolas Ghesquière and Coach's Stuart Vevers on custom looks for many an event, most notably the Met Gala, Gomez has also opted for sophisticated silhouettes from Valentino , Oscar de la Renta, Rodarte , and Armani. When she's off duty, she sources her sleek pieces from the likes of Ganni, Victor Glemaud , Sezane, and Mango, to name a few. She is also rarely without a pair of Jennifer Fisher ho...

16 Best Joggers For Dressing Up or Down

Once categorized as activewear, joggers have become one of our go-to wardrobe essentials , thanks to their comfort and versatility. While their popularity boomed during the pandemic, fashionable details like ribbing, pintuck seams, zippered pockets, and ankle cuffs have elevated them from low-key loungewear to something you want to be seen in outside of the house. Some of our favorite ways to style joggers include a high-low mashup, juxtaposing baggier sweats with blazers and stilettos or crop tops and kitten heels. For an ultracozy look to wear outside of the gym, we love seeking out luxurious loungewear materials like cashmere . Whether you splurge on a high-end fabric or opt for other soft knits, it's easy to create a cuddle-worthy but polished look.

How to Dress For a Football Game, as Taught by Our Favorite Celebs

Not sure what to wear to a football game? Allow our favorite celebrities and influencers to offer some inspiration. We have a renewed appreciation for game day fashion this season, thanks in part to Taylor Swift's recent Kansas City Chiefs game appearance . While cheering on rumored boyfriend Travis Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 24, the singer wore a white tank top, black denim shorts, and stylish pops of red to rep the Chiefs. Though much of the internet is focused on her current relationship status, Swift's outing got us thinking about other famous fans who are always dressed to impress on the sidelines. No discussion of game day style is complete without mentioning Simone Biles, whose Instagram is like a treasure trove of football game outfit ideas. The Olympic gymnast loves thoughtfully repping husband Jonathan Owens by wearing customized t-shirts , hoodies, and tank tops emblazoned with his name and team number. Biles isn't the only WAG rolling up to the stad...

Kylie Jenner's Fashion Evolution in 14 Mesmerizing Photos

At 26, Kylie Jenner has more than just a few accolades under her belt. Named the world's youngest billionaire in 2019 - now worth an estimated $680 million, according to Forbes - the reality-TV star turned beauty mogul can do it all. So why not overhaul her wardrobe while she's at it? Working with stylists Mackenzie and Alexandra Rose Grandquist, Jenner has developed a newfound affinity for wearing luxury labels such as Jean Paul Gaultier, as the face of the brand's campaign ; Mugler, having attended the brand's archival exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum alongside current Creative Director Casey Cadwallader; and Loewe, for which she rocked underwear over tights while showcasing her impressive slew of Paris Fashion Week looks last year. Some would argue that first stint in Paris marked her sartorial shift, although a recent trip that saw her in minimalist Bottega Veneta and Alaïa are fodder for the quiet-luxury trend, which was pioneered by Sofia Richie's elega...

Natalia Bryant Can Now Add "Versace Runway Model" to Her Growing Fashion Résumé

Natalia Bryant might've just had her runway debut, but she was always destined for fashion. "My mom says, 'Walk like Naomi but remember to be yourself,'" the oldest daughter of Kobe and Vanessa Bryant told Vogue prior to her first show. "'Put your own style to your walk and always with your head held high.'" In fact, it's partially thanks to her mom that Bryant decided to pursue modeling in the first place, signing with IMG Models in 2021 and joining a crew of talent like Ashley Graham and Gigi Hadid at the agency. Fast forward to this year's Milan Fashion Week, and she's already walking alongside celebrities and industry icons like Kendall Jenner and Claudia Schiffer for Versace's spring show . Leading up to her first catwalk, Bryant introduced herself to the fashion world with a series of heavy-hitting projects, earning her stripes before ever stepping foot on a runway. In early September, she appeared in UGG's new autu...

Everything to Know About the Victoria's Secret World Tour, Including Julia Fox's Debut

The Victoria's Secret fashion show officially returns for 2023 in the form of a video that's part documentary, part runway spectacular, available to stream on Prime Video as of Sept. 26. Titled " Victoria's Secret: The Tour '23 ," the reintroduction of the experience was first announced by brand CFO Tim Johnson during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call on March 3, according to USA Today . A Victoria's Secret & Co. spokesperson told POPSUGAR that the spectacle revolves around the new mission to champion women's voices, stating: "As we've previously shared, our new brand projection and mission will continue to be our guiding principle.

The No-Pants Trend Is Taking Over, From Hailey Bieber to J Lo

Long gone are the days of fashion having strict rules. Many trends have come and gone and resurfaced again, from outlandish styles like the skirts-over-pants look of the 2000s to more practical aesthetics like the Sofia Richie-inspired quiet luxury . Of all the popular styles of the moment, we can't seem to escape the no-pants trend. Where in the past, it was rare to step out without pants, celebrities have shamelessly and successfully produced several style moments that exclude the wardrobe essential. From Rihanna 's red puffer jacket and heels for a date with A$AP Rocky in mid-winter 2022 to Dove Cameron's pantless moment with six-inch heels, it's okay not to wear pants. While this trend is currently enjoying a moment in the spotlight, going pantless first became famous as early as 2012. Miley Cyrus was among the first to try the bold styling method at the Billboard Music Awards of that same year, having worn just a white Jean Paul Gaultier blazer and black-an...

Unapologetic and Never Underdressed: Black Women's Power on and Off the Runways at NYFW

In the last few years, we've witnessed a renewed urgency and energy around the pursuit of racial equity. And as a racial justice educator and culture writer, I've been curious if these commitments to a more just future have manifested as visceral investments - shaping new conversations, elevating new voices, and empowering new agency to shape culture. Three years removed from the impetus of this cultural reckoning (namely, the deaths of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd), I've questioned whether the headlines, tweets, black boxes on Instagram, and financial pledges were just performative action, and if America's short attention span would once again undermine the pursuit of a more inclusive and equitable future. Throughout American history, some of the most effective barometers of our political posture have been spaces of cultural consequences, and the world of fashion serves as one of those cultural spaces . Indeed, at the intersection of fashion, poli...
