Sheer Delight

  • print this

There's nothing quite like a touch of sheer, especially for night. A beautiful peekaboo cocktail dress—like the frothy black confection seen at Prada’s fall 2008 show—just smacks of decadent, of-another-era glamour. Now don’t get us wrong, we’ve spotted our share of style slipups: Who didn’t get a little jumpy seeing so much of Gwyneth's hip-torso-pubic-bone area when she stepped out in her see-through Antonio Berardi number at the premiere of Two Lovers? And really, who wants to see their uptight neighbor’s bits and pieces saucily waving at them through a bit of netting? A good rule of thumb: Reserve sheer panels for PG-13-rated spots. Safe zones include shoulders, back, legs, arms, midriff…you get the idea. Throw in some strategic nude lining, perhaps a few feminine flounces, and you’ve got a look fit for a lady.
