Sydney Sweeney is here to remind us all that the naked dress trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
The actress, known for her striking fashion choices and commanding presence on the red carpet, showcased the bold trend at this year’s Variety’s Power of Women event in Los Angeles.
Strutting onto the red carpet, Sweeney donned a completely see-through design by Christian Cowan, captivating onlookers in a silver chainmail dress from Cowan’s Spring/Summer 2026 ready-to-wear collection. The dress featured a wide scoop neckline, flowy mid-length sleeves, and a sculptural ruched bodice. The dress beautifully accentuated her cinched waist through the clever twisting of fabric, which enhanced her hourglass silhouette.

Completing the daring look, Sweeney opted for nude panties and eschewed any additional clothing, fully embracing the naked dress aesthetic. Her accessories were kept refined yet glamorous, with romantic diamond drop earrings and eye-catching rings from Effy Jewelry elevating the outfit.

Attending the LA Dodgers game against the Toronto Blue Jays, the actress opted for a toned-down fit featuring a white tank, cutoff denim shorts, cowboy boots, and team merchandise. Despite the casual nature of the game, she injected a touch of Hollywood by styling her blonde locks in tight curls.
