The sheer-dress trend might never die, but for A-listers at fancy festivals, something more sophisticated and less revealing is needed. Enter the exposed bra illusion, which Scarlett Johansson wore to the Cannes premiere of her new Wes Anderson flick, Asteroid City.
The superstar wore custom Prada to the event, a light pink column dress with what looks like a white thin-strapped bra peeking out from underneath. But look closer and you’ll see that it’s all one garment; the triangle tops are even embellished with beads.
Sydney Sweeney (the ScarJo of her generation? I can see it) did a similar thing at the festival, pairing a white slip dress with a baby blue Miu Miu bra that was clearly meant to be seen. Somewhat similar to the bright magenta meant-to-be-seen bra Miu Miu put Nathalie Emmanuel in. Like we said: trend alert. Sexy without being obvious, just the hint of lingerie; plus, you can rock a strapless shape without constantly having to check on the girls all night. Win-win!
