No matter what year it is, the naked dress will always reign supreme. For award season this year, celebrities showed up left and right in see-through gowns or jumpsuits. That inspired us—okay, me—to keep track of the sheerest outfits and how they were worn. Why? Curiosity, for one. Plus, naked dresses always make you do a double take at the person wearing it. You would think by now I'd be tired of this trend, but it's the opposite. I've become even more obsessed with discovering the latest bold, sheer outfit. Although I have yet to wear one myself to an event, I will surely take notes on how to style it from the ladies ahead.
