Winnie Harlow is the latest celebrity to embrace the naked dress trend, but the model found a way to put her own spin on the style. In celebration of her 29th birthday, Harlow donned a see-through, beige fishnet dress featuring subtle starfish detailing. The model then took her mermaid theme a step further with nautical accessories including oversize starfish earrings, a snail-shaped clutch, and a golden shell necklace.
In addition to the clear nautical theme, Harlow also made a statement with neutrals. Her beige dress included touches of coral and ivory, thanks to the starfish, while her accessories and sandals were all gold. She did mix in a touch of color with the tiny purple flowers that adorned her braided updo, but overall, her outfit made a splash while sticking to a muted but glam color palette.
Even her makeup was subtle. The model opted for bronze colors paired with a shimmery touch on her eyelids. Meanwhile, her manicure was clear with touches of white-and-pearl embellishments in keeping with her mermaidcore vibes.
Just in case there was any doubt about where Harlow drew her outfit inspiration from, she shared several photos from her birthday celebration on Instagram, alongside a caption that made it clear her ensemble was inspired by “The Little Mermaid.” She wrote, “This little mermaid must chop life. 29 so far is filled with love.”
Harlow is far from the first celeb to step out in a naked dress this summer. Other celebrities who have wowed with the daring trend include Megan Fox, Dua Lipa, Shay Mitchell, and Ciara. While naked dresses are by nature see-through, they come in a wide variety of designs, including sheer material, beaded designs, and the fishnet style that Harlow pulled off so seamlessly at her birthday party.
