The red carpet sizzled Thursday as Margot Robbie and Dakota Johnson showcased daring sheer outfits. The trend of “naked dressing” has become popular, but the two A-listers took it to a new level at separate events in London and New York.
Robbie Pays Tribute in London
Margot Robbie, star of Barbie, attended the London premiere of her new film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. She wore a couture gown from Giorgio Armani Privé’s Spring 2025 collection. The appearance also served as a tribute to Armani, who passed away at 91 earlier this week.

Robbie’s gown featured a sheer base adorned with intricate floral and paisley beadwork. When she turned, the spaghetti straps crossed to highlight a jewel-shaped pendant on her back. The design left much of her backside exposed, creating a bold statement on the red carpet.
Colin Farrell, attending the premiere with Robbie, wore a double-breasted cotton trench coat from Dolce & Gabbana over a fitted button-down shirt and wool pants. He completed the look with a satin tie and patent leather derby shoes.
Johnson Shines in New York
Meanwhile, Dakota Johnson attended Kering’s Caring for Women gala in New York. She wore a black sheer gown by Gucci, styled by Kate Young. The dress had a high neck, floral embroidery, and a long train, revealing a matching bra and panties underneath.

The gala was star-studded, with attendees including Demi Moore, Jessica Chastain, Julianne Moore, Salma Hayek, Lauren Sanchez Bezos, Adrien Brody, and Casey Wasserman. Anna Wintour appeared alongside Chloe Malle, Mark Guiducci, and Baz Luhrmann on the red carpet.
Johnson accessorized her daring ensemble with a diamond necklace and emerald drop earrings. The look perfectly combined elegance with a bold, playful edge.
Trend of Sheer Dressing
Both Robbie and Johnson exemplify the “naked dressing” trend, which pairs sheer fabrics with delicate embroidery or beadwork. This style has become increasingly popular among celebrities on the red carpet, offering a mix of glamour, boldness, and fashion-forward artistry.

Fashion Impact
The gowns sparked conversation online and on social media, with many praising the creativity and confidence of the actresses. Photographers captured every angle of the intricate designs, emphasizing how modern red carpet fashion continues to push boundaries.
