Irina Shayk stunned in Milan Sunday night. The Russian supermodel went braless in a silvery, see-through dress at a launch party for skincare brand d'Alba Piedmont in Milan.

The 38-year old's sheer dress completely was covered in rows of Swarovski crystals. To finish the look, the model wore strappy nude stilettos and, most surprisingly, an oversized black hoodie draped around her shoulders. Talk about a high-low fashion moment: She perfectly juxtaposed her shimmering eveningwear with a streetwear staple.

Shayk accessorized with earrings equally as radiant as her mini dress. She kept her makeup minimal, letting the clothes take the spotlight (literally, at this point), and donned soft brown eyeshadow with a practically nude lip. At the event, the model celebrated her new campaign with d'Alba, centering the brand's new spray serum and under-eye patches.

Shayk has a thing for going braless in a see-through dress, evident in her rolodex of previous looks from her sheer Missoni ensemble to Armani gowns. Remember her Moschino dress by Jeremy Scott at the 2021 Met Gala? Another prime example. Each time, she nails it.

From the iconic bus advertisement for Carrie Bradshaw's column in Sex and the City, to Kim Kardashian's more recent "birthday suit," the naked dress is (has always been) an iconic garment in the world of fashion. Not only does it often form an artful illusion around the body, but it can also be an empowering symbol. Wearing a naked dress offers a chance to more overtly control your sex appeal while still being "clothed." At a time when reproductive rights are under attack, the garment is increasing in popularity and seeming to stand for more than aesthetics.
