What better time to sport a bold sheer dress than summer?&nbsp;

If there's one thing we've learned from fashion these past few months, it's that the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/naked-dress-celebrity-fashion-beyonce-rihanna-zoe-kravitz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sheer naked dress trend</a> isn't going anywhere &mdash; and we're certainly here for it. We've certainly come a long way since the days when women couldn't even wear bikinis to public swimming pools, let alone the beach. But trying out the naked dress trend in 2024 is easy when both the red carpet and the runway have provided so many looks for inspiration. Case in point: <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/bella-hadid-morning-wellness-routine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bella Hadid</a>'s barely-there <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/yves-saint-laurent-fall-winter-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saint Laurent by </a><a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/anthony-vaccarello-runway-history-saint-laurent" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anthony Vaccarello</a><a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/yves-saint-laurent-fall-winter-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Fall/Winter 2024</a>, the sheer dress she chose to wear for her <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/cannes-film-festival-2024-celebrity-red-carpet-looks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024 Cannes Film Festival</a>&nbsp;red carpet comeback. From <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/a-complete-timeline-of-machine-gun-kelly-and-megan-fox-s-relationship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megan Fox's</a> sultry crystal-embellished Mugler dress at the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-looks-mtv-vmas-red-carpet-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 VMAs</a> to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/florence-pugh-best-style-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florence Pugh's</a> completely see-through gown at <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/valentino-fall-winter-2022-haute-couture-rome-runway-photos">Valentino's Fall/Winter 2022 Haute Couture</a> show, celebrities have led the way in the naked dress revival. But if Hadid's Cannes look taught us anything, it's that the way to wear the sheer dress trend this summer is to take a decidedly minimalist approach.

You might think it's <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/most-memorable-outfits-vma-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rose McGowan's</a> (controversially) iconic naked dress from the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards. But it's actually the bedazzled, skin-tight dress <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/most-memorable-outfits-vma-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marilyn Monroe</a> wore while singing "Happy Birthday" to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/president-john-f-kennedy-quotes-jackie-kennedy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President John F. Kennedy</a> in 1962 that set the precedent for how to wear the sheer naked dress trend. Since then, celebrities and designers alike have continually pushed the boundaries with the nude look, incorporating everything from strategically placed embellishments to sheer fabrics.&nbsp;
