Showing skin has always been in season on the red carpet, but Hollywood stars are taking a bold approach by purposefully revealing even more.
Sydney Sweeney recently turned heads wearing a silky white Miu Miu slip dress while leaving the Hotel Martinez at the Cannes Film Festival.
The 25-year-old “White Lotus” star also revealed a powder blue bra underneath her simple sheer dress and sparked online chatter about this summer’s official fashion trend: the “intentional wardrobe malfunction.”
Olivia Wilde, Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson have taken note with their own exposed displays, but fashion expert Melissa Rivers exclusively told Fox News Digital the style has already made its mark multiple times.

Sweeney breezed through the lobby of the popular French hotel with her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, during the star-studded festival.
Her spaghetti strap slip dress draped down to the ground and featured delicate cups that highlighted her chic couture bra.
While the “Euphoria” actress went viral for her head-turning moment, the “Melissa Rivers Group Chat” podcast host looked back in fashion history books.

“Dolce & Gabbana did it a hundred years ago,” Rivers said. “They did these corset dresses, and it became a big part of the Dolce & Gabbana look for at least a decade. So, this is not some original fashion moment.
