If there’s one thing we can be sure of at this point, it’s that Mia Goth knows how to slay a sheer dress. Previously showing up in a stunning purple see-through gown at the the “Frankenstein” Headline Gala at the 69th BFI London Film Festival at The Royal Festival Hall in London on October 13, she’s now done it once again.
This time, she stepped out to attend a special screening of “Frankenstein” at The Plaza Hotel in New York City, on October 20, and opted to wear an eye-catching sheer dress that put a little twist on the popular style.
Instead of a purely sheer piece, the black dress that reached below her knees featured a decorative lace panel across her chest and a full black panel across her hips.
Mia Goth Slays ‘Scream Queen Fashion’
While Mia is known for her epic horror film roles, she’s now also making her mark when it comes to her accompanying style choices.
“Mia Goth has been perhaps the biggest proponent of scream queen fashion as of late. In the lead up to MaXXXine, the final film in the X trilogy, the actor leaned into her character, Maxine Minx, … by sticking to the style codes of leather, bodycon, and corsetry,” according to Vogue.
“For the Los Angeles premiere, she turned to Ludovic de Saint Sernin in a velvet dress with a leather bustier top,” Vogue added. “Later in the week, she sported a black leather corseted Versace dress.”
Sheer Has ‘Dominated’ Runways, Red Carpets & Street Style
While you might think that sheer looks are something that are merely meant for red carpets and industry events, think again.
“I’ve taken note of the rise in the use of barely-there fabrics in decades past through to recent years, but for summer 2025, it has not only dominated the season’s runways, but street style and celebrity red carpet looks too,” fashion editor Sophie Robyn Watson wrote for Who What Wear in June. “My Instagram feed is also awash with semi-transparent organza and gauze-like pieces, which always make me double-take to see if the fabric is really there at all.”
“In 2025, we’re not resigning sheer pieces to eveningwear looks alone; we think they can arguably be worn anywhere, from casual daytime looks to office-ready ensembles (yes, really!), summer holiday outfits, and, of course, more showstopping occasion attire,” she continued. “I’ve seen the trend embraced across a wide variety of clothing and accessories, including but not limited to blouses, shapewear, skirts, trousers, dresses and footwear.”
