Sheer, lingerie-inspired dressing has been a huge red carpet trend for celebs for the past few years, whether it’s peekaboo lace, almost-invisible mesh, or all of the above. We’ve seen sheer on everyone from a pregnant Hailey Bieber to Vanessa Hudgens on her wedding day to Jenna Ortega. Now, FKA twigs is putting her twist on the look with two different ways to go sheer.
The musician and actor wore two sheer looks while out and about in New York City, starting with a leather-and-mesh outfit that paired a deep chocolate brown leather corset with mesh short shorts in a light taupe shade. FKA twigs accessorised with thigh-high leather boots with an exaggerated platform toe and a clutch bag made of hair — yes, hair!

The next night, FKA twigs attended the premiere of The Crow, in which she plays the character of Shelly Webster, alongside costar Bill Skarsgård. The musician wore a sheer black lace corset and wrapped lace skirt with a long panel of fabric flowing out from her waist, plus a pair of high black platform Mary Janes with multiple skinny straps, styling the look with a black leather wrist cuff and black clutch bag.

The ensemble was the perfect balance of gothic and glamorous, with the corset’s lace detail and black boning adding a touch of romance, especially with the matching fabric wrapped around her hips and the platform shoes and accessories toughening up the sweet lace.
The sheer trend isn’t going anywhere, and it’s fun to see how our favourite style stars keep reinventing the look on the street and the red carpet. It can be sexy, demure, dramatic, gothic, or punk, so no matter your personal style and aesthetic, trust us — there’s a sheer vibe for you.
