Anya Taylor-Joy's Nearly-Naked Crochet Set Wins Dior's Paris Fashion Week Front Row
Tasteful nudity was the theme of the day.
The rise of naked dressing has hit the fashion industry like a tsunami, washing over every possible corner of the business. No longer only for club rats, the look has now been adapted for every possible occasion—from red carpets to movie premieres and even weddings.
At Paris Fashion Week, some of the most respected fashion houses are unveiling revealing collections of their own, putting a luxury twist on the NSFW look. Dior is the most recent to release a shockingly sheer line. The Parisian brand presented their Spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection in their hometown on Sept. 24—and naked-adjacent outfits filled both the runway and the front row.
As always, the guest list was packed with A-list celebrities: Natalie Portman was in attendance, as well as Rosalía, Rosamund Pike, and Kelly Rutherford. All were dressed in their Dior best, of course, but none channeled the naked theme better than Anya Taylor-Joy.
The actor showed up wearing the sheerest of sheer looks. She was outfitted in a crochet crop top, which was embroidered with crustaceans and coral reefs. Underlining the aquatic aesthetic, she styled the top with a see-through mermaid skirt that put her nude underpants on full display. Both pieces came in a light beige color that mimicked Taylor-Joy's skin tone, furthering the naked illusion.
This energy was reflected tenfold on the runways before Anya Taylor-Joy's appearance. For Dior's latest Haute Couture collection, models paraded down a purple-tinted catwalk wearing unlined creations of all kinds. Styles ran the spectrum of nudity, ranging from sheer gowns covered in transparent sequins to crystalized crop tops that looked like wearable chandeliers.
Other models wore more demure iterations of the naked dress, debuting gauzy black gowns that offered a bit more coverage, but were none the less see-through.
Taylor-Joy's ensemble was decidedly less revealing than the couture runway counterparts, providing Dior fans with a full scope of the naked fashion possibilities.
