Oscars 2019: Sheer, see-through fabrics dominate red carpet fashion

Amandla Stenberg, Constance Wu and Kacey Musgraves all embraced the risque trend

IT MAY still be winter, but these celebs clearly aren't fussed - as sheer, see-though fabrics were all the rage on the Oscars 2019 red carpet.

Metallic dresses, black ball gowns and tulle were all common themes at tonight's Academy Awards - but it was the sheer frocks which really made an impact.

Amandla Stenberg, 20, who starred in The Hate U Give and presented an award tonight, wowed in a nude slip dress with chainmail detailing.

The 20s-inspired Miu Miu gown had fringe detailing from top to bottom and wouldn't look out of place in one of Jay Gatsby's infamous parties.

While Think Like A Man actress Meagan Good, 37, also embraced the risque trend in a pastel pink ballgown with nude mesh cutouts.

And singer SZA, 28, wore a ruffled layered dress which included a mini skirt finish on the top layer and a sheer underlay.

SZA, whose real name is Solana Rowe, also rocked a thigh-high slit to complete the look.
