Is that Iggy Azalea in her birthday suit?
Not exactly; to celebrate turning the “big 32,” as the “Fancy” rapper put it on Instagram Tuesday, she poured her famous curves into a familiar-looking optical illusion dress by designer Sergio Castaño Peña.
Previously spotted on Bella Thorne at the LA premiere of “Morbius” in March, the second-skin, red-hot frock is printed with the image of a nude female form, making the wearer appear naked as well.
The Barcelona designer, who described his work as “low rent, high fashion” in a 2019 Vogue interview, has also dressed Cardi B and Bebe Rexha in his wild wares.
Nearly-nude looks like Peña’s are having a moment; earlier this week, Kylie Jenner “freed the nipple” (and raised eyebrows) in a “naked” bikini ($325) from Lotta Volkova’s collaboration with Jean Paul Gaultier. And on the Billboard Music Awards 2022 red carpet, she stood out in a digitally printed Balmain gown that only appeared to be see-through.
Both Bella Hadid and Maisie Williams, meanwhile, have posed in sexy trompe l’oeil styles from Gaultier’s collection with Y/Project, while Miley Cyrus modeled a similar bright blue look by Sinead Gorey while on tour in Colombia.
And Gabrielle Union made an eye-popping style statement ahead of this year’s Met Gala, stepping out in Loewe’s pinup-printed dress, complete with surrealist balloon “breasts.”
Turns out, you can turn heads in a “naked” dress without showing any skin at all.
