Kendall Jenner Keeps the Naked Dress Trend Alive and Well at Cannes
Kendall Jenner and her oft-photographed cohort—the KarJenners, the Hadids—have never shied away from a good naked outfit, short or long, formal or casual. Famously, there was her 2017 Met Gala dress, made from one (one) piece of string. A few months later her famous sib Kim Kardashian stepped out in what was basically a transparent shift dress sandwiched between a jacket and briefs. Last year Bella Hadid wore what basically passed as the Frozen version of the look, complete with bling-y, icy embellishments, along with some casual crocheted separates. The trend was still going strong as of September, when Selena Gomez wore an incredibly romantic Rodarte look to the #BoF500 party in New York. And of course, even more examples go back to a high point of the trend in 2016 after it exploded in 2015. But Jenner's first naked look, courtesy of Cannes, is one of the glammest, sheerest, party-ready looks we've seen yet, and then she took us by surprise in a totally different version of the trend.
As of Friday, Jenner hadn't attended any films, but she was at the Secret Chopard Party that night, wearing a short, sheer green Alexandre Vauthier minidress blinged out with glitter (and accessorized with Chopard earrings, of course) that caught the camera flashes. No bra, no worries.
But a new day calls for a new dress, and on Saturday she hit the red carpet for the premiere of Girls of the Sun (the only female-directed film in competition at this year's Cannes, BTW) in an naked dress that was otherwise opposite in every way: long to Friday's short, tulle to Friday's mesh, white to Friday's black. It's sort of like if a Bond girl was also an angel. Should you be considering a major investment, it hails from Schiaparelli's fall-winter 2017–2018 couture collection.
