Sheer Looks Were Trending at Dolce & Gabbana 40th Anniversary Party With Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Lupita Nyong’o and More

The world of fashion and the brightest global stars gathered in Milan for Dolce & Gabbana’s 40th anniversary party and opening of the From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce & Gabbana exhibition on Saturday, and a bevy of attendees opted to celebrate the Italian luxury fashion house by bringing the sheer trend to the festivities.

The sheer trend has been on a number of red carpets as of late. State-side, several stars fashioned the trend for the iHeartRadio Music Awards last week. At the start of the year, sheer was a major trend on the red carpet of the Emmy Awards in January.
