Dakota Johnson Wore the Lingerie-Inspired Dress Trend That May Replace Sheer Dresses

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for a new controversial dress trend. As you know, celebrities are obsessed with sheer dresses of every type. The long-standing trend is still alive and well (for now, at least), but if you're ready for something new, take a cue from Dakota Johnson, who just attended an event at the Toronto International Film Festival wearing a Gucci dress that was a great example of the latest dress trend: lace-trimmed slip dresses (and yes, it's also sheer).
Lace-trimmed slip dresses (and skirts) are suddenly kind of everywhere, and I predict you'll see a lot of the subtly lingerie-inspired trend this fall at weddings and for nights out. That said, if you want to wear the trend for daytime, just add a trench coat (or any other piece of structured outerwear that doesn't resemble a bathrobe).
If you're into this pretty trend—especially after Johnson's endorsement—keep scrolling to shop the best lace-trimmed slip dresses on the internet right now.
