Sheer tops are everything right now in the fashion world. We see them on everybody in Hollywood, from supermodels to pop stars, and we really can’t get enough of them! They’re flattering while also being just the right amount of “sexy”- without revealing too much skin. Sheer tops are versatile, too: a simple sheer blouse is the perfect addition to simple skinny jeans to wear for a dinner date, or to your favorite nightclub for a Friday night out with friends. The possibilities are endless!

Celebrities are constantly wearing them without fail, especially the beautiful fashion icon, Bella Hadid. Just 23 years young, Bella slays in everything she sets out in – especially sheer tops. A recent iconic Bella outfit was when she hit the streets of New York City for the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards (covid edition), rocking a one of a kind sheer black SSence top, paired with black SSense pleated wool trousers. She held a black face mask in her hand as she strutted in a pair of By Far ‘Gina’ chained sandals, walking as effortlessly as she does on the catwalk. This look exemplifies a sheer top as part of the perfect evening outfit, bringing just the right amount of sexy.

Speaking of sexy, this isn’t the only time Bella has worn a red-hot look outfit for a Hollywood event. Let’s never forget when she turned heads at the 2018 Harper’s Bazaar Icons Party in New York City, defining bougie in an all-sheer nude bodysuit. The piece was custom made for Hadid by creative director, Casey Cadwallader, so we can only take a guess as to how much it set her back! She paired the look with nude briefs underneath, along with dramatic glittering cuff bracelets and clear pointy-toe shoes. She pulled off the look like no other, thanks to her modelesque figure and geometrically perfect face. Also, she definitely helps set the trend for nude tones in fashion for the following years.

For a sexy meets urban look, sheer tops could also be added to any streetwear outfit. Bella often pairs a mesh blouse underneath a blazer or jacket, along with jeans or trousers, like she did while out and about in LA wearing this plaid Christian Dior suit. She added a hint of sexy to this tomboy outfit with an ultra-sheer cropped top underneath, revealing her bare tummy and showing just enough cleavage. This outfit could be mimicked easily and is perfect for a night out at a trendy restaurant or bar.

Much like Bella’s iconic mesh get-ups, we’ve got similar pieces to match it included in the seven to die for sheer tops listed below. Fear not – you don’t need to be Bella Hadid to rock this ultra-sexy fashion trend, and we’re positive you’re going to love what we’ve rounded up. Shop the list of perfect sheer blouses below!
