Naked fashion is 2026’s hottest ticket said Raggle Taggle Gypsy owner. Picture: Supplied Naked fashion cannot be ignored. It’s everywhere from the red carper through to slightly more muted incarnations on the streets.
The trend is not new, however, but it was once the reserve of paparazzi and celebrity only.

Lace, mesh, diamanté netting, crystal-covered nude fabric illusions, and high-slit skirts that show the hip and hint at nothing beneath have been Hollywood staples.
