Male celebrities are embracing more daring fashion choices, particularly with the popularity of sheer shirts.
For instance, Harry Styles made a bold statement when he cohosted the Met Gala in May 2019, adhering to the event's theme of Camp: Notes on Fashion. The singer confidently sported a sheer Gucci blouse adorned with a sizeable lace bow, proudly showcasing his tattoos. He completed the look with a single pearl earring and his trademark collection of gold rings.
Since then, a multitude of top celebrities have emulated Styles’ example. Fresh from his Elvis press tour, Austin Butler continued to establish himself as one of the most attractive men in Hollywood. During his appearance on the red carpet at the 25th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards in February 2023, the actor donned a Valentino suit paired with a semi-sheer button-down beneath his black blazer. Predictably, he captivated the audience when he took the stage to present.
