Sienna Miller has been making some excellent fashion choices lately. From her fun leopard-print trousers to her classic Sézane trench coat, she's always spotted in the newest and chicest trends. And today, we can add some very daring pieces to this list, namely a "naked" jumpsuit and over-the-knee boots.
Miller is no stranger to a "naked dress", having worn a sheer Fendi Couture gown to The Prince’s Trust Gala last year, but she's now given us major autumn fashion inspiration with a new take on the trend. Attending the red carpet closing ceremony of the 81st Venice International Film Festival this weekend, Miller was seen wearing what I thought was a sheer lace-mesh dress along with black, leather thigh-high boots, but it's actually a jumpsuit. Still, the same principles apply.
The outfit was a full Chloé look from the brand's A/W 24 show, one of the most applauded of the season. Whilst the outfit might be daring, over-the-knee boots are a trending footwear option thanks to their prevalence on the runways, and now, we're spotting them on a number of other fashionable celebs too, including Daisy Edgar-Jones.
Inspired by fashion icons like Cher and Jane Birkin, the "naked" dress trend that became popular throughout the '60s has remained a celeb red carpet favourite when the desired outcome is to make a real fashion statement. Different from the mesh, sequin and tulle styles we’ve seen before with the look, there’s something about lace that makes it more autumn-appropriate, especially if you opt for it in darker shades like black or burgundy. Not to mention that sheer lace is perfect for layering. When the temperature drops, you can throw your sheer lace dress over a thicker item, whether that be a slip dress, knitted jumper or even jeans.
Sheer dresses can be tricky to style without looking too "out there", but the contrast of Miller’s lace number with the more wearable black boots relaxes the look and makes it so cool. Plus, you can always swap out the frilly boxers she wore with a bodysuit or mini bodycon dress to make you feel more comfortable when giving the trend a go.
So, although this pairing isn’t one we’ll necessarily be wearing to the pub this weekend (more power to you though!), thigh-high boots are extremely wearable, pairing well with shorts and skirts and dresses in all lengths.
