Celebs give a fresh twist to the ‘naked dress’ trend at Emmys 2025
For years, naked dresses have been sparking debate. Are they edgy statements of empowerment or just repetitive shock value? At Cannes earlier this year, the festival even banned them from the red carpet. However, at 2025 Emmys, celebrities gave the naked dress a fresh twist.
Jenna Ortega’s crystal top
Leading the charge was ‘Wednesday’ star Jenna Ortega, who turned heads in a daring Givenchy creation, giving a fresh twist to the naked dress. The actress wore a top crafted entirely from oversized vintage jewels.

The shimmering top, made with strands of pearls and gemstones, gave her look a "Death Becomes Her" vibe, echoing Isabella Rossellini's iconic character Lisle von Rhuman from the 1992 cult classic film. To complete her look, the ‘Wednesday’ actor kept her accessories simple with strappy black heels, pearl studs, and a ring.
Justine Lupe’s sheer dress
While many experimented with embellishments and structure, Justine Lupe leaned into the roots of the naked dress. Her fabulously sheer, shimmery gown was perhaps the best interpretation of the naked dress.

The ‘Succession’ star wore a statuesque Carolina Herrera halter neck gown from the designer’s Fall 2025 collection that glittered from every angle. The ethereal plunging dress was embellished with shiny, disco ball-inspired sequins and an intricate chain design. She added several diamond cocktail rings, dangling diamond earrings, and nude sandal heels to add that extra oomph to her outfit.
Charlotte Le Bon’s twist to the naked dress
Charlotte Le Bon made all heads turn in a sculpted silver Courréges gown. In the daring outfit, she resembled a silver-gilt statue come to life. The stunning, close-fitting gown made Le Bon resemble a silver-gilt statue and offered a unique, sensual take on both the silver trend and the naked dress trend.

Well, this goes on to prove that the naked dress has found its way and is evolving. From sheer shimmer to bejewelled construction, the digression from naked dress is here and we are loving it.
