Kendall Jenner spent her weekend aboard a yacht in the South of France with her nearest and dearest. While most fans were probably taken aback by the stunning scenery, I was too distracted by her perfect beach day look: A black sheer maxi dress straight off the runway courtesy of AMI Paris’ Fall/Winter 2023 collection. It stole the show.  Jenner kept the rest of the look minimal with a classic black bikini, black flip flops by The Row and a big Bottega Veneta raffia tote.

Transparent silhouettes have been trending since last summer and they are showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. A totally see-through look might seem daunting, so I suggest taking a page out of Jenner’s book and trying the trend on a beachy outing. Surprisingly, a sheer black dress like this one in particular, can be quite versatile. It was shown on the runway with a gold statement earring and a sleek black pump which gave it a more dressed-up feel. A dress like this is great for vacation because it’ll take up minimal space in your suitcase and it can transition from day to night with ease depending on styling and accessories. If you’re just as sold as we are, shop our favorite sheer dresses below!
