# Eye-Catching Transparent Dresses This Rihanna See-Through Mesh Dress is Elegant and Provocative By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-09-08 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rihanna-see-through References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2015/09/03/rihanna-dior-magazine/) & [instagram](https://instagram.com/badgalriri/) The Rihanna see-through mesh dress from [Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shirt-dress-collection) is a triumph of modern style, walking the line between elegance and edge. The Barbadian star is no stranger to the world of [transparent dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova). At the 2014 CFDA awards, she caused a flurry of press coverage and Internet debate in a bare-everything translucent crystalline gown. Just like the CFDA dress, this newest Rihanna see-through look doesn't compromise on style. Its classic little black dress aesthetic is only heightened by the shock factor of its transparency. We are living in an age where the female body is becoming increasingly celebrated and embraced by mainstream culture. Rather than covering up, apologizing or conforming to social dictates, this [Rihanna see-through dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jisoo-dior) pushes the boundaries of what is "allowed" in modern fashion. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Celebration of Female Body:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create innovative designs that celebrate and empower the female body. - **Transparent Fashion:** Chance for designers to experiment with transparent materials and create edgy yet sophisticated garments. - **Breaking Social Norms:** Space for disruptive brands to challenge traditional fashion conventions and push the boundaries of what is considered acceptable. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers, retailers, and brands to capitalize on the trend of transparent dresses and cater to the demand for daring and bold fashion choices. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for entertainers, artists, and celebrities to use transparent fashion as a means of self-expression and making a statement on the red carpet or stage. - **Manufacturing:** Opportunity for manufacturers of transparent materials, such as mesh and sheer fabrics, to provide innovative and high-quality options for fashion designers and brands. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Peace-Resembling Dress Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-dress.md) - [Couture Ketchup Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup.md) - [Romantic Summer-Ready Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandra-rich.md) - [Ultra-Comfortable Bare Mesh Bras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bare-mesh-bras.md) - [Dynamic Shape-Shifting Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primrose-dress.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Tunic-Style Summer Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/low-back-shift-dress.md) - [Liberating Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova.md)
