Kate Moss, a prominent figure in the fashion world, has long been associated with the color black in her style choices. She wore a long, transparent floral lace dress at the Met Gala 2026, an event themed around the exhibition Costume Art.

Charlotte Gainsbourg and the same look

Charlotte Gainsbourg, another style icon, also embraced the same aesthetic. She wore a similar long, transparent floral lace dress at the opening ceremony of the 31st Busan International Film Festival in South Korea on October 6.

Anthony Vaccarello’s tenure at Saint Laurent

Anthony Vaccarello, the former creative director of Saint Laurent, was known for his use of black and transparent fabrics in his designs. His tenure at the brand lasted a decade, during which he consistently featured long, transparent dresses in floral lace.

Vaccarello’s departure and final show

Vaccarello officially left Saint Laurent on October 9. His final major event was the spring-summer 2027 show on the Trocadéro esplanade, where he once again highlighted his signature use of black and transparency in his designs.

Continued influence of the black dress

Despite Vaccarello’s departure, both Kate Moss and Charlotte Gainsbourg have continued to wear the black, transparent floral lace dresses, indicating the lasting influence of this style on red carpet fashion.
