Kristen Stewart Makes a Revealing, See-Through Dress from The New Arrivals Feel Tough-Chic with Casadei Boots

I’ve always thought Kristen Stewart has this natural confidence when it comes to fashion. She often wears revealing pieces, but it never feels like she’s trying too hard or dressing for attention. There’s a quiet confidence in the way she carries herself that makes even the most seductive outfits look cool, whether she’s on the red carpet or the street.

While out in New York City ahead of her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where she talked about her directorial debut, The Chronology of Water, and the idea of possibly directing a Twilight remake, Kristen stepped out in a sheer dress by The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel.

It was eye-catching, even by her standards, especially with her underwear left visible. Paired with black Casadei boots, the outfit felt very much her—simple, bold, and unapologetic!

Let’s take a closer look at her latest outfit from her press tour.

Kristen Stewart’s Sheer Sequin Dress by The New Arrivals

Kristen has worn sheer looks before, but this one felt more bare and straightforward. She wore The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel “Isis” maxi dress, made from transparent polyester material, covered in soft beige sequins that gave the dress a fluid look as she moved.

But even with all the shimmer, the dress remained completely see-through, with the textile hugging her frame and creating a sleek, slinky feel. The dress itself featured a low square neckline and thin spaghetti straps, but Kristen layered a white Leset “Yoko” peplum crop top over it to keep things modest.

The top featured a simple crew neckline and a ruffled peplum hem, adding a softer contrast to the sheer dress underneath. It toned things down just enough, though her midriff was still visible.

Below the waist, Kristen didn’t bother hiding anything. Her black underwear, paired with a matching halter bra peeking from under her white top, was entirely on display!

I was struck by how relaxed it all looked. It didn’t read as attention-seeking. On Kristen, it came across as confident and casual, like she put it on and walked out without overthinking it. The dress is currently available on Farfetch for $927, marked down from $1,884.

Styling the Look: Plaid Jackets and Square-Framed Sunglasses

Outside the studio, Stewart threw on a black jacket with a red plaid lining, which was practical given the chilly weather. It also added another layer of contrast to the ensemble, mixing something cozy with a dress that was anything but.

Kristen skipped jewelry entirely. She’s never one to rely on accessories to finish a look, and this was another example of that. Her hair was pulled into a casual top knot with microbangs, and her makeup stayed minimal, with just a hint of red lipstick. A pair of square-framed sunglasses added a modern edge to her appearance.

The Shoes: Casadei ‘Nancy’ Platform Chelsea Boots

Kristen completed her outfit with black Casadei “Nancy” Chelsea ankle boots, bringing a tough-chic contrast to her sultry outfit.

Made from soft leather, they featured rounded toes, elasticated side panels, and thick double platforms with tall block heels. The rubber soles and heel bases gave them a sturdy, industrial-like feel.

Against the dress’s sheer, delicate fabric, the boots added weight and toughness, without making the look feel too fragile or overly styled.

They are a masterclass in how to maintain an edgy, authentic identity within the polished world of high fashion. As she transitions from her iconic acting roles to her latest chapter behind the camera, her shoe game remains as unpredictable and inspiring as ever.
