Bella
Hadid's profile rocketed after she flashed her thighs in a barely there
wisp of red silk at this year's Cannes Film Festival and models Giulia
Salemi and Dayane Mello made sure all eyes were on them in crotch-baring
dresses at the premiere of The Young Pope this weekend. see photos after the cut
Now
dresses with eye-wateringly high side slits are hitting the high
street, but can a real woman ever get away with wearing one and
maintaining some shred of modesty?
Fashion Presenter and Stylist Naomi Isted admits she is not a fan of the trend, saying she feels it's a cynical trick.
'Celebrity
Stylist are always looking for ways for their star clients to get
global press and coverage, the more shocking an outfit the more
coverage.
'There's
a trend this year for everyone to wear sheer dresses with bodysuits
underneath and this is an extreme extension of that.
'It's
not a realistic for the public to wear. It's quite a dangerous look as
it could go horribly wrong. If there's no underwear it's a potential
fashion catastrophe.'
However, if you are brave enough to try retailers such as Lasula, Boohoo and Missy Empire are selling the daring dresses.
But don't fall into the trap of thinking that barely there underwear is the way to go.
Options
include the C-string, which consists of the front of a thong-style pair
of knickers, held up with wire at the back - or the Shibue: a strapless
panty held in place using a soft adhesive gel.
However, Naomi advises against these skimpy lingerie options in favour of a classic pair of big pants.
'Go for skin toned shapewear,' she recommended. 'Ideally a big pant option which would be safer bet.
'If
the skirt goes over to one side it will hopefully protect dignity at
the back. Better still go for shapewear or a strapless bodysuit with a
big pant in your skin tone.'
