Selena Gomez Looked Stunning in This Fresh Take on the Naked Dress
Ah, the naked dress. Whether made from a single string or worn only with a thong, it’s one trend that is definitely not for the faint of heart. Unless, of course, you consider Selena Gomez‘s fresh—and completely romantic—take on the look, which she wore to the Business of Fashion’s #BoF500 party last night in New York City.
The “Fetish” singer skipped the mesh and almost completely sheer versions favored by the Kardashian clan when she stepped out, opting instead for a decidedly less see-through dress from Rodarte’s Spring 2018 Ready to Wear collection. The fabric, a medium-translucent beige lace, let the dark high-waisted briefs Gomez was wearing underneath peek through. It’s a beautiful look: the juxtaposition of light and dark helps set off the gown’s beautiful beading and floral appliqué.
Gomez was at the event celebrating her BoF 500 cover, which she shared on Instagram earlier this week saying she was “very grateful” for the honor.

As you can see, Gomez’s longtime makeup artist, Hung Vanngo, channeled retro glamour to finish off her look: he put a deep side part in her wavy bob (something we’ve been seeing all over the runways this Fashion Week) and paired it with a dark burgundy lip.
The overall look is very Old Hollywood-meets-woodland-fairy, and we’re here for it. Although we won’t know what her brand-new (and adorable) puppy thought about Selena’s look, her Instagram Story from later that night reveals how Charlie feels about the star herself, and it’s super cute:
