Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll no doubt be aware of the naked dress style that has taken Hollywood by storm as one of this season's biggest trends – if not the biggest. Nearly all of our fave celebs have rocked the look on at least one red carpet this year. But perhaps the biggest champion of naked dressing is Rita Ora.
Yep, the singer has stepped out in an endless number of sheer 'fits including a cut-out crochet maxi dress, the black gothic dress featuring transparent panels she wore to this year's Met Gala, a brown ruched mesh number, a red netted maxi for her and husband Taika Waititi's Vogue Australia photoshoot, and not forgetting a red lace dress with matching red underwear clearly visible underneath.
Well, Rita repped the trend again when she attended the Azzedine Alaïa show during Paris Fashion Week yesterday.
Naturally, Rita was wearing a look from Alaïa's Summer-Fall 2023 collection for the designer’s Paris Couture fashion show. Her ensemble consisted of a high-neck and long-sleeve maxi dress fabricated entirely out of black lace featuring a floral pattern that was vaguely reminiscent of the net curtains from your grandma's kitchen.
But the potentially conservative design was far from modest as it was completely see-through. And Rita turned the temperature up further opting to go braless, wearing just a pair of high-waisted black knickers underneath.
Rita added a pair of towering black platform peep-toe heels but ditched any accessories and pulled her hair into a sleek up-do, keeping focus firmly on her 'fit.

She also shared a snap to her Instagram stories ahead of her arrival at the show. Pictured in a hotel hallway, she wrote over the image "on my way" tagging the fashion house and Pieter Mulier, Creative Director of Alaïa.
Rita's trip to Paris follows her performance at London Pride over the weekend where she was repping a very different trend.
Wearing head-to-toe pink leather – we're talking trench coat, a sleeveless cropped shirt and tie, and a mini ruched skort – and knee-high lace-up boots also in a pink hue were spot on for Barbiecore.
If there's one thing Rita knows, it's how to go all out with a trend.
