Jennifer Lopez Has the Final Word on Naked Spider-Web Dresses

Over the past few years, a micro trend has emerged, nestled in the spot where the Venn diagram of “sheer” and “method dressing” overlaps: sheer spider web gowns. Jennifer Lopez is the latest to don the style, and, dare we hope, the last?

In December 2021, red carpet queen Zendaya rolled up to a premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home in a gorgeous, faux-nude, slinky gown with web-patterned beading, accessorizing with a Spidey-ish mask for full effect. This is after she rocked spiderweb earrings on the same press tour.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the Sony-Marvel-Spiderverse, Dakota Johnson was cast in the lead role in Madame Web, and when that movie came out in February 2024, we got another handful of webtacular designs. Johnson wore a gorgeous and completely see-through spider-webbed mesh number to the Vogue Brazil Ball in Rio de Janeiro, and a week later, attended a red carpet in a mesh naked dress.
