Bella Hadid was photographed in Aspen wearing a sheer black lace dress during a night out in the resort town, a choice that immediately stood apart from the heavy winter clothing typical of the area.

The dress, a vintage Georges Chakra design from the early 2000s, was worn with high-waisted black briefs underneath, making the transparency deliberate. She paired it with knee-high patent leather boots and leather gloves, adding weight to the look while keeping it suited to an evening setting. A fur outer layer was used for warmth as she moved between locations.

Seen heading to dinner, Hadid appeared comfortable in the outfit. The choice felt direct and self-assured, presented without explanation or adjustment for context.

Vogue’s coverage noted the clarity of the styling, highlighting how the dress was worn as-is rather than softened or reshaped to fit expectations of winter resort dressing. The focus remained on how the piece was carried, not on framing it as a statement or trend reference.

The look also continues Hadid’s recent use of vintage pieces in everyday settings. Instead of treating archival clothing as novelty, she wears them as functional wardrobe choices, allowing the design to speak for itself through fit and movement.

In a town where celebrity appearances often blend into familiar winter formulas, Hadid’s sheer dress stood out simply because it did not try to adapt. It was worn plainly, confidently, and on its own terms leaving the reaction to follow naturally.

The sleeves were designed with same black lace that created a web-like diaphanous cape trailing beside her as she lifted her arms. Behind her head was the same web-like motif, giving the illusion of her being in the middle of a black spider web.

If previous red-carpet seasons thrived on predictability, 2025 broke from it decisively. This was the year celebrities approached dressing with intent. From Met Gala appearances anchored in cultural references to awards-season looks that questioned inherited ideas of glamour, the red carpet shifted into a space defined by risk and clarity of vision.

Whether through sculptural shapes, confrontational styling, or unexpected material choices, stars like Teyana Taylor, LISA, Bad Bunny, and Jenna Ortega rewrote the rules, often in ways no one anticipated.
