Charlize Theron Just Introduced Us to the Sheer, Lacy Corset Dress

The naked dress trend is here to stay. Recently, Victoria's Secret model Shanina Shaik got married in not one, but three different sheer dresses, and Charlize Theron is the latest to jump on board with the see-through look. Photographed in New York City on Thursday, Theron wore a beautiful lace Stella McCartney dress complete with a built-in corset, and it's convincing us to try the trend for ourselves.
Of course, Theron is no stranger to test-driving trends. In two recent red carpet looks, for instance, she traded a gown for leather shorts and wore a cool bra-and-skirt combo. We can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve next. Scroll down to see her latest outfit.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
