The Best Naked Fashion Moments of 2018

last updated 14 August 2019

We know, we know, the year isn't over yet, but if there's one trend that has taken the celebrity world by storm in 2018, it's the naked trend. So, instead of waiting until December to do a final roundup, we figured why wait? The naked trend comes in many different variations, including shoes, dresses, and even lingerie. Overall, naked dresses have been the most popular among the celebrity set considering the A-list has so many fancy red carpets, premieres, and parties to attend, but there's a lot more where that came from thanks to daring It girls like Dua Lipa and Kourtney Kardashian.

Ahead, check out the best naked fashion moments so far this year. Brace yourself for sheer, crystal-drenched nude gowns; barely there nude bikinis; and see-through lace pieces that will have your jaw dropped all the way to the ground. In case the photos ahead make you want to test out the trend as well, we shopped out a handful of our favorite naked pieces so you can tackle the style on your own. If it's any justification, we believe in you.

If your birthday is coming up, we suggest giving this look a go.

Who needs full coverage when you have feathers?

The fashion-girl wedding we've all dreamed of.

The leopard print makes this look a little less "naked."

Yep, she went there with this nude bikini.

This was basically the look that broke the internet this NYFW.

Were we even surprised when we saw Kim Kardashian West step out in this barely there dress? Not at all.

In case you were wondering what to wear to Ibiza…

We haven't stopped thinking about when Olivia Culpo pulled off this black-tie naked dress.

We would honestly love to marry J.Lo in this dress.

Pretty sure our jaws are still on the floor from this look.
