The Bold Type breakout Meghann Fahy wore the sexiest lace black dress to the premiere of her new Netflix mystery limited series The Perfect Couple, yet somehow she made it SFW. Nicely done.
We're in a very pro-nudity era in Hollywood, as stars are wearing less and less on both the red carpet and on the street. This is not moralizing or panic, just a genuine observation: Fahy's Victoria Beckham ensemble (which might be a skirt over a bodysuit?) could, with different styling, be lingerie.
But that's what's genius about how she wore it. Instead of going for a hot and heavy bombshell look with big hair and red lips, Fahy, to borrow a phrase we're already over, is demure. A classy bun, tasteful diamond studs and a nude lip give her a kind of Upper East Side vibe that balances out the sheer.
Fahy also used paneling and pasties to make sure she wasn't showing anything censorable. Leaving a little to the imagination, if you will.
