It s a big day for the naked dress. First, Margot Robbie arrived at the London premiere of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey in a sheer, jewel-encrusted gown from Armani Privé’s spring 2025 collection. (Fashion writer Hannah Jackson has all the details, calling it “a fitting tribute to the designer, who died last week at 91.”) Just a few hours later, Dakota Johnson served up another naked dress inspiration at the Kering Foundation s Caring for Women dinner in New York City.
While the dresses themselves were incredibly different, the stars could agree on one thing: If you re going nearly-nude, only an updo will do.
For Robbie, hairstylist Bryce Scarlett created a sculptural, sleek updo. Her hair was parted in the middle, then pulled back to the crown of the head, where tendrils of highlights gently swirled around the bun. Makeup artist Pati Dubroff kept everything else incredibly subtle—shades were silky and all within the peach and earth tone families. Yes, we would call it toasted.
Johnson s take started with a black lace gown and underpinnings to match. From there, her go-to hairstylist Mark Townsend stayed in line with her iconic bohemian style. The actor s thick curtain bangs were slightly mussed, and two face-faming tendrils were curled to perfection—the ease of it all was incredibly chic. To finish it off, makeup artist Georgie Eisdell lined the actor s eyes with a combination of black and brown shadows and a heavy swipe of mascara.
It s the choose-your-own-adventure of naked dressing. Which way would you go?
