At the London premiere of 'A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,' Margot Robbie dazzled in a sheer Armani Privé couture gown, and at a New York event, Dakota Johnson attracted attention in a Gucci ensemble inspired by lace. These ensembles demonstrate the powerful revival of sheer designs in celebrity fashion.
A Rebirth of Sheer: Robbie's Red Carpet Tribute
Shortly after steeping into the role of a mother, Margot Robbie made a remarkable comeback on the red carpet at the London premiere of 'A Big Bold Beautiful Journey' on 11th September. She donned a dress from the Spring 2025 couture line by Giorgio Armani Privé, which included paisley-floral patterns, sequins, embroidered beadwork, and a sheer base.

With spaghetti straps crisscrossing into a gemstone pendant positioned between her shoulder blades, the dress featured a strikingly exposed back. A beaded thong piece highlighted Robbie's lower half, which showed more than normal.
To counterbalance the boldness, she accessorized the ensemble with pear-shaped diamond earrings, silver heels, a soft up do reminiscent of the 1990s, and delicate peach makeup.
Dakota Johnson's Gothic Lace Moment at NYC Gala
Meanwhile, at the Kering Foundation's Caring for Women gala in New York City, Dakota Johnson, on the other side of the Atlantic, followed the trend. She opted for a sheer black Gucci dress with a high neck, flowing train, full-length sleeves, and exquisite floral lace embroidery. She maintained a bold yet sophisticated look by wearing matching black lingerie underneath.

Her wavy look with rouge nails, strappy shoes, a diamond tennis necklace, and emerald and diamond earrings all added glitz without overpowering the sheer design.
Why Sheer, Why Now: Trend Revival & Fashion Statement
The resurgence of sheer looks—or "naked dressing," as some fashion outlets call it—feels timely. In addition to using the look for shock effect, both actors used it to make glitzy and self-expressing statements. Robbie's ensemble also served as a memorial to Giorgio Armani, who had died a few days prior. Their wardrobe selections demonstrate how red carpet fashion is still pushing the envelope. On premieres and gala nights, what was once only seen at editorial shoots or private runways is now conspicuously displayed.

Recent ensembles by Robbie and Johnson imply that this isn't a passing trend but rather the newest trend in evening attire for celebs. This risky design is becoming refined rather than scandalous, thanks to sheer materials, well-placed embellishments, and well selected accessories. Lighter materials, elaborate detailing, and "barely there" layers are making a comeback for those who enjoy dramatic fashion.
