Megan Thee Stallion is on something of a style streak at the moment. She has made sure to pull out all the stops on the red carpet as of late, most recently in her custom Defaïence blue and white dress for the CMT Music Awards. Not to mention the champagne gold vintage co-ord set by Paco Rabanne she wore to an event last month, and did you see her strapless mermaid gown for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party? Stunning.
If there's one thing we can learn from Megan's previous sartorial choices, it's that she's not afraid to be daring with her fashion picks. And her latest look proves exactly that. Meg repped not just one bold trend but two, taking to her social media channels yesterday to post a clip of herself dancing, first on TikTok before following up on Instagram, in a see-through cut out dress. She captioned the post "🍯🍯🍯" and a remix of Beyoncé's "Cuff It" could be heard playing over the top of the video.
The naked dress trend has been taking over the celebrity style circuit for a while now, but Meg just took it to the next level. The silver chainmail fabric was completely see-through, save for the built-in silver knickers, strategically placed rhinestone embellishments, and contrast stitching detail. And as for cut outs, the entire midsection of the dress was one giant cut out with the halterneck bra top connected to the asymmetric skirt (that featured a thigh-high slit, natch) by a slim side panel.
Chainmail dresses aren't exactly a new trend. Remember Paris Hilton's *iconic* 21st birthday dress crystal-chainmail dress? It's been copied by the likes of Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian and Dua Lipa, as well as Paris herself when she wore a Nicole + Felicia dress inspired by the Julien McDonald OG mini earlier this year.

But back to Meg. We have no words for this lewk, and clearly fans agree as the comments section is full of mainly emojis, including 😍, 🔥, and 🍯. The official Bratz Instagram account was able to formulate a comment, writing "Ok now THATS Super stylin’ 💎👄" and who are we to disagree with the most fashionable dolls of the toy world? (Sorry, Barbie.)
Long may Megan's style streak continue.
