The Materialist actor arrived at the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women dinner in New York City on Sept. 11 in one of her most daring looks, and the internet is in shambles.
The Kering Foundation‘s annual Caring for Women dinner brings together individuals who support its mission of ending gender-based violence, “which can be passed on from generation to generation, by resourcing partner organizations, engaging Kering and its ecosystem, and influencing others.”
The biggest names in Hollywood attended, and gee, they really gained the world’s attention to the cause with their stunning fashion for the evening.
Salma Hayek wore a strapless, black Balenciaga dress with a plunging neckline and double-breasted buttoned design.
And Jessica Chastain wore this lilac-colored sheer lace Gucci dress with embroidered detail, just to name a few celebrities in attendance.
Speaking of sheer Gucci dresses, the one who really had the internet talking was Dakota, who wore a sheer, black see-through Gucci gown with floral embroidered lace details.
The gown had a pseudo-modest turtleneck and long sleeves, as the dress draped over her black, open-toe pumps.
Here’s a closer look at her emerald jewelry, signature dark brown hair, and bangs in an updo.
And, of course, here’s the back of the dress, which is going mega viral.
Dakota is no stranger to the sheer idea of the revealing dress.
