The American wedding dress has become more and more revealing over the past few decades — some brides are even getting married in crop tops. And at this year’s Bridal Fashion Week in New York City, the trend toward bare skin went one step further with designers showing sheer wedding dresses.
Even big names like Vera Wang included dresses in their collection that exposed nearly everything.
“It’s more about the body now,” Vera Wang told the AP. “What we’re trying to do more is really capture a certain sense of intimacy in body language.”
The dresses are similar to styles worn by Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, and Beyonce at recent red carpet events. Perfectly placed sequins and lace keep the wearer from getting a public nudity summons, and brides can always add a stole or shawl to cover up if they want.
