At the Variety Power of Women event, Sydney Sweeney made headlines by choosing a dress that doesn’t merely flirt with transparency—she embodied the “naked dress” trend fully. The gown, from Christian Cowan’s Spring/Summer 2026 ready-to-wear collection, featured silver chain-mail-style mesh, a dramatic scoop neckline, ruched bodice, and a lace-up back.
The ensemble left little to the imagination: no visible lining, minimal accessories (just diamond earrings and rings), and a freshly cut bob haircut that framed the face perfectly.
Trend context: the return of the “naked dress”
While sheer dresses have long been a red-carpet staple, this season the “naked dress” has surged with intensity—garments cut from mesh, chain-mail, or transparent fabrics that expose as much of the silhouette as they cover. Marie Claire described Sydney’s dress as “a liquid chain-mail dress” and cited the look as a perfect example of the trend’s momentum.
Of note: It isn’t just about exposure, but intention. Sweeney’s stylist and dress choice signal that the look is about empowerment and confidence rather than mere shock value. As she said in a separate interview:
“I just feel good and I’m doing it for myself and I feel strong.” InStyle+1
What makes the dress special
-
Fabric & texture: The chain-mail effect mesh gives the sensation of liquid metal—reflective, sculptural, and daring.
-
Silhouette details: A cinched waist and ruched bodice give shape despite the transparent outer layer; lace-up back adds a dramatic detail.
-
Styling minimalism: Because the dress itself is dramatic, the jewellery and accessorising minimal—letting the gown dominate.
-
Hair and makeup alignment: A sleek bob and a bronze/bold brown lip unified the look—neat, polished, but letting the dress be the focal point
