ON NJ Fashion Expert Dawn Del Russo Talks the Naked Dressing Trend

Naked dressing is the boldest evolution of the sheer clothing trend — and it’s everywhere right now. But it isn’t about shock value. It’s about confidence, control, and intentional styling. As Dawn Del Russo, fashion expert, shared on her segment with Show ON NJ, naked dressing can be elevated and wearable when you style it the right way.

So what does it mean? Naked dressing is subtly revealing fashion using sheer fabrics like mesh, tulle, and lace, plus illusion panels, cutouts, and barely-there silhouettes. The goal is creating the illusion of exposure while still looking polished.

Designers are leaning into transparency as empowerment, and celebrities like Rihanna, Zendaya, Jennifer Lawrence, and Teyana Taylor are showing how chic it can be.

Dawn’s key tip is balance: pair sheer pieces with structured items like blazers, trousers, coats, or sleek shoes. And you don’t have to go all in — small touches like sheer sleeves, illusion necklines, or mesh layering pieces still count. Naked dressing isn’t about showing more skin — it’s about showing more style.
