If we had a dime for every time someone showed up at an event wearing a sheer lace dress, we’d have more than enough cash to buy an Alexander McQueen dress by now.

Case in point: Check out these celebrities who wore sheer lace ensembles to the Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty Gala. Who do you think looked best?

1. Kate Moss in Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2015 Dress

The 41-year-old showcased her modelesque figure in a McQueen creation. While I’m not a big fan of this trend, I think Kate looked amazing in this dress. She’s one of the few who make a sheer dress look tasteful.

2. Poppy Delevingne Went Braless and Flashed High-Waisted Pants

Wearing a sheer Osman dress and going braless might sound like a recipe for a fashion disaster, but the slit sleeve detail added a unique flair that elevated this sheer lace ensemble.

3. Lady Mary Charteris Added a Tacky Belt

The model, also a member of the peerage, is no stranger to daring fashion choices. Perhaps you recall her unconventional cut-out wedding dress, which continues to baffle us to this day.

Unlike the previous two dresses with darker sheer lace, Mary’s had more see-through material, which made us wonder why she would wear it in public. The lace underwear, the strip of cloth that covered her breasts, and her choice of accessories (that choker!) made us gasp in dismay.
