Kendall Jenner Just Took the Naked Dress Trend to New Heights
Over the past few years we’ve seen the naked dress become the occasion-wear item of choice for daring celebrities. The likes of Dua Lipa, Rihanna, Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner have turned to the trend on more than one occasion for film premieres, award ceremonies and intimate dinners alike. Perhaps the biggest fan of the style, Kendall Jenner wore her latest naked look for a party in L.A. on Friday night for her tequila brand, 818. Taking the trend one step further than her stylish peers, Jenner wore a head-to-toe mesh outfit, styling a sheer, green-tinted dress hot off the Gucci AW23 runway with equally sheer slingbacks.
Kendall Jenner wore a green-toned mesh dress with mesh kitten heels from Gucci and a small Gucci bag.
Keeping her accessories to a minimum, the model, reality TV star and brand founder styled her favourite crystal-embellished mesh slingbacks from Gucci with another Gucci favourite—her Tom-Ford era horsebit bag. On the makeup front, she opted for a fresh look, choosing a rosy-cheek-and-lip combination and a light dusting of bronzer.
Jenner doubled up on Gucci, wearing her sheer slingback shoes with a Tom-Ford era Gucci bag.
Earlier this summer we witnessed the beginning of the mesh-shoe trend, pioneered by brands such as Alaïa and The Row. Reimagining footwear staples like ballet flats, the trend quickly gained traction, with a sea of high-street retailers swiftly catching on. Pre-dating this recent trend, Gucci's slingbacks are an archival design, calling on the silhouette beloved by Tom Ford during his time at the helm of Gucci.
Next time you're stuck for a party-ready outfit, consider taking your mesh all the way from head to toe for an easy but high-impact outfit.
