Despite chilly temperatures, Kristen Stewart is proving that the naked dress trend remains popular in 2026. The sheer trend which was one of 2025’s biggest fashion choices on red carpets continues into 2026 with fresh interpretations.

Just days earlier, Sabrina Carpenter also debuted her take on the naked dress, signaling that the style is making a return.

For the bottom half, she went full glam wearing a see-through high-waisted skirt entirely covered with clear sequins, showing her black underwear that matched her bralette. She finished the look with black platform heels.

Jennifer was seen running a few errands in New York on Monday, January 5. The actress paired a black puffer jacket from Toteme with gray wide-leg slacks from the Row. She layered a red V-neck top that peeked from under her jacket.
