Raunchy new fashion trend that will replace the naked dress in 2026

Fashion sources say the trend is driven by “practicality and inclusivity,” offering a way to show off intimate apparel without the full exposure of a nude dress.

A celebrity stylist told us: “Underwear-as-outerwear, or ‘nudes’, are popping up all the time. It sounds exciting, but honestly, awards bosses don’t like seeing stars walking around in completely see-through dresses with their underwear on display.

However, the peek-a-boo bra dress is much more practical and works for a wider range of bust sizes – and is easier to see on television at events like the Grammys and Oscars without causing offense.

The ‘peek-a-bra’ style has been spotted on a string of A-listers in recent months. Lindsay Lohan attended the Fashion Trust Arabia Awards in Doha, Qatar in November wearing a little black dress with a bejeweled bra subtly visible below the neckline.

An industry insider said: “Lindsay’s outfit was fun and glittery without being over the top. The bra took center stage, and that’s exactly why this trend works: it’s bold and intentional, but also understated and tasteful.”
