Raymond Hall/GC ImagesThe supermodel has a new signature look—and it has nothing to do with her brows.
Going sheer can be a risky choice, but for Cara Delevingne, it's an easy one. The supermodel-turned-actress has been all over the media lately for her upcoming film Suicide Squad, and lots of press events equals lots of outfits. For Cara, that means unlimited amounts of sheer.
For starters, this outfit doesn't only have one see-through aspect, but three: a sheer bodysuit, skirt and jacket (notice the sleeves from the elbow down). It's the perfect barely-there combination to complete this gothic-ballerina look. But how can you pull off this full-on-sheer look IRL? Take the model's advice and mix your sheer with a little leather. If you're looking for something lighter (because, well, it's summer), try a lace bodysuit and pair it with a leather skirt.
A Peter Pan-esque, collared school-girl dress can come across a little boring, so what really makes this outfit aspirational is the modern details (like the red textured fabric with the billowy sleeves). If you want to strike the right balance of tasteful and cool, go for a dress with a high neckline and transparent sleeves. You'll make a great impression no matter the crowd or vibe.
Between the long-sleeved blouse, knee-highs and intricate mini skirt, Cara's barely showing any skin. In cases like this, what you do show then needs to make a statement. We're all for a bare leg, but to add some texture (or if it's chilly outside) a sheer stocking or fishnet tight will add that sexy edge you're looking for.
Double the sheer, double the fun. A traditional mini skirt is a classic pairing, but what really makes this outfit unique is the bell-sleeved top layered over a lacy bra. Can you say sheer-on-sheer action? Try this at home with a lacy bralette (that will always work under any tank) and team it with any style see-through top you might own to show it off.
When you think of business-appropriate attire, mesh netting probably doesn't come to mind...however, Cara's playful jumpsuit is making a case for it. It's tailored and all-black, which feels really professional, and the hint of sheer at her neckline keeps it trendy and fun. The takeaway? An asymmetrical cut that doesn't show too much skin adds fun textures to your look as long as you keep the goods covered.
