“No Modesty Anymore”: 17 Sheer Met Gala Looks That Broke The Internet For All The Wrong Reasons

9. Zoë Kravitz In 2021

At the 2021 Met Gala 2021, themed “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” Zoë Kravitz embraced a daring interpretation of minimalist glamour in a custom Saint Laurent gown by Anthony Vaccarello. The floor-length crystal mesh slip dress was almost entirely sheer, featuring an intricate, jeweled chainmail pattern that subtly incorporated the YSL monogram into the design. Beneath the dress, she wore a matching glittering underwear and a barely-there string bralette as her only coverage. Her signature micro-braids were parted down the middle and pulled back into a sleek updo, while her makeup featured winged eyeliner and a peach-toned lip that let her natural freckles shine through. She completed the look with diamond double-drop earrings by Jessica McCormack. While she walked the carpet solo, Kravitz was later seen leaving the event with Channing Tatum, fueling ongoing romance rumors at the time, as their relationship had not yet been publicly confirmed. The look sparked intense debate online, with some critics calling it “too revealing.” Comments ranged from “She crazy, and too daring!!!! All for attention!!!!” to “I used to have a shopping net that looked like that minus the jewels,” and “It’s sad everything is exposed . No modesty anymore. She is a beautiful woman, no need to show everything…” Kravitz later revealed that the backlash led her to delete her Instagram photos and take a break from the platform, noting that people seemed to forget she was human. In response to one critic, she famously wrote , “Being uncomfortable with the human body is colonization/brainwashing. It’s just a body. We all got em.”
