Irina Shayk Just Debuted The Wedding Trend We'll All Be Wearing In 2025
Are we heralding the end of the sheer wedding dress era? After what feels like aeons of barely-there gowns dominating the bridal space (not forgetting the red carpet and runways too), a new, slicker style has emerged—and you may be pleased to know it's a bit less risqué than flaunting your underwear on your special day.

On Saturday, Irina Shayk closed the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood show in an oversized white suit. Following a series of draped gowns, some sheer some ruched and gathered, Shayk’s brilliant white suit was an unexpected contrast to the rest of the collection.
And while we're well acquainted with the power a two-piece can bring to a wedding wardrobe, this particular rendition—double-breasted, with exaggerated proportions and a daring deep V-neck—might just overshadow the sheer ‘naked’ dresses we’ve been inundated with in seasons past.
The trend towards almost-naked wedding looks was ignited when ELLE UK contributing editor Camille Charrière wore a Harris Reed upcycled lace dress paired with a La Perla thong at her Paris wedding. This bold moment kicked off a frenzy of brides embracing skimpier styles, yet many are now seeking options that offer a more refined approach to bridal dressing.
For the demure bride who still wants to show a hint of skin, the plunging power suit is likely to become a welcome addition to the bridal pinboards of many. Despite its Seventies proportions, this tailored look still feels modern while treading the fine line between sleek and daring. As we move away from sheer fabrics, the plunging power suit offers a new chic alternative, and we’re embracing it with open arms.
