Okay, so I'm not quite finished gushing over Stella McCartney's S/S 09 collection so you'll just have to go through another post about her and her designs. More specifically one certain design. I am talking about "the naked dress" worn by model Lara Stone on the catwalk. The nude colour of the dress creates a skin-on-skin effect, that (when done right) is nearly too hot to handle. And Stella McCartney definitely gets 10 out of 10 points for this dress! I love the combination of the off-the-shoulders, slouchy top half, to the short, but still not too short, body-gripping bottom half. It's also nice the way Lara Stone has her hair pulled back tightly, that her make-up is clean and fresh, and that the accessories and shoes are kept simple. This defintely screams sex on legs!
When it comes to this dress, my thoughts instantly flew to Carrie's famous naked dress that she wore on her first date with Mr. Big in season 1. And we all know what Carrie and Big ended up doing that evening. It might be easy for some to compare the naked dress to a slutty dress, but I am not one of them. I actually think that in addition to the LBD every woman should have hanging in her wardrobe, every woman should also have a naked dress. Knowing your body, and knowing the fine line between sexy and slutty will get you a long way when it comes to having the confidence to wear and pull off this type of dress. So take some tips from Stella and Carrie, and don't be afraid to show what you've got!
Who do think has the best "naked dress", Stella or Carrie? And do have the fashion courage to wear a dress like this?

You made an incredibly good point here! It is this subtlety that makes it the most sexy. Because of the powdery hue it still carries an interesting innocence while emphasizing the own body. Great post.
Jeg hadde ikke hatt noe i mot å brukt en nakenkjole så fremt den ikke var for avslørende... Men jeg synes det er et dårlig utvalg av fine nakenkjoler i det hele tatt.
Jeg liker faktisk Carrie sin best<3
lovely dress
love it! they're both fabulous :)
I think both. Carrie did it for he 90s and Stella updated it for 00's.
Both work great as there is someone right underneath.

Either way... it's stunning no matter the era!
I love naked dresses and I have a few - they have a bit more structure than Carrie's so they are not quite as scandalous . . .
Great post!!

Ahhhh yes, the Carrie (naked) dress. One of my favorite episodes. I love nude basics and beige undergarments. Carrie wearings hers outside, as the actual garment? GENIUS! xx
I know you are busy but out there checking in when you can. I always look forward to your comments of course! :) Thanks for stopping in, dear. I visit yours everyday too.
I am still unpacking. Can you believe this?? Once the closet is ready, I will take photos for you. Remind me if I forget. Then, I will see the movie! ;)
Your comment about my outfit really made my day!! (especially after a very rude anonymous comment!) I like hearing what people really think, and you just made me SMILE! :) I try new things, because it's fun, some may work out and some might not, but that's how one learns, no?

Jeg elsker Stella McCartney sin kjole, men elsker også Carrie sin. Vet egentlig ikke hvilken jeg elsker mest.. Haha, og jeg ELSKER de replikkene du skrev ned på Carrie-bildet - det er perfection! :D
Hi there-they are both very nice indeed!!
I really like Stella's take on it. The draped shoulders make it...less naked? Not sure but I do like it more.
I would vote for Carrie. I think she rocked that dress - even though I love the off-shoulder detail on the Stella McCartney dress :)
Hi dear!
I like Stella's dress more. Would I have the fashion courage to wear a dress like this? If I could afford it? Why not?! :-)
xx
It´s fantastic I really like your blog and then you came to mine.Thanks
Hahaha, I like how Lara, the always "naked model" is wearing the "naked dress"
They're both great for different reasons.
I don't have a little black dress, or a naked dress. My closet is bare!
ah how could anyone forget the naked dress... after all big did jump all over carrie because of it ;)
i love that stella dress. i'd totally wear it!

That dress is nice! I wonder if I dare to try one..haha
Totally!

OH the naked dress! It looks beautiful at both stella and on carrie. I even saw Carine wearing a rather naked looking Margiela top at fashion week.
I agree with you!
Great post! And the dress is beautiful!
Pretty !!
Hugs & kisses !!
oooh i love nude colored clothing.. i'd have to say stella's dress.. and i would totally wear it!!
