It's about time for those folks on the other side of the internet who find the female body deeply offensive to accept the facts: naked dressing is in, and it always will be. Based on how many times we've reported on it alone, it should be obvious how we feel about the trend—but allow us to reiterate our stance. We think naked dressing is the ultimate power move, we think showing off your body is fun and cool, and we don't mind seeing a little butt.

At the 2026 LACMA Art + Film Gala on Saturday, an annual event and fundraiser where the worlds of Hollywood and art collide, there were a lot of fashion moments worth shouting out. But despite how perfectly tailored Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner's dresses were, how much Anya Taylor-Joy and Alex Consani's dresses looked like works of art, and how elegantly chic Jessica Williams and Monica Barbaro looked, we can't help but feel an affinity towards the looks that showed a bit (or a lot) of skin.

As naked dress aficionados, we would go so far as to say that the trend has a series of subgenres. Models Iris Law and Stella Maxwell went the sheer route, with Law in a custom Amaramara gown constructed out of 6000 mother-of-pearl tiles for a chainmail effect, and Maxwell in a white lace dress that felt ethereal, angelic, and lingerie-inspired from Alexander McQueen's Fall/Winter 2026 collection.

Rose Huntington-Whiteley and Alix Earle went for bumster-adjacent looks. Huntington-Whiteley wore a look that we consider the dress form of a mullet haircut: business in the front, party in the back. Her black Gucci dress features long sleeves and a high neck detail at the front, but is completely backless and reveals a good amount of her butt. Earle wore a custom silver crystallized fringe dress from Gucci's Resort 2027 collection with an open back and revealing gaps in the fringe.

Ningning and Devon Lee Carlson went with the bra-top route. Ningning wore a full Gucci look featuring a crystal diamante bra, black trousers, and a dramatic green feathered coat. Carlson wore a completely sheer two-piece Gucci set: a cropped top and a matching skirt, both made out of crystallized black lace.

From bras to butts to everything in between, naked dressing won the gala.
