Hollywood Stars Flaunt Sheer Black Dresses and High Slits at 10-Plus Red Carpet Events

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 23

Summary

  • Lindsay Lohan, Halsey, Brooks Nader and Helena Christensen were among the stars wearing sheer black gowns or thigh-high slits this week at Cannes, Gucci and other red carpet events.
  • Several Cannes appearances directly challenged the festival's dress code, which has barred sheer dresses since 2025 for decency reasons, yet Christensen, Halsey and Marion Cotillard still arrived in revealing looks.
  • The trend extended beyond Cannes: Julianne Hough wore a cutout black dress at the Gracie Awards, Emily Blunt showed black lace at a Louis Vuitton show, and Christina Aguilera chose a sheer bodysuit in West Hollywood.
  • Tara Reid also returned to the Cannes red carpet in black after her November hospitalization, adding a comeback note to a week dominated by skin-baring fashion statements.
