Step into the closet of your favorite A-list celebrity. Imagine racks that stretch on for days, lined with dresses straight off the runway, shelves stacked with the latest "it" bags and shoes, and drawers dripping in high jewelry. For most celebrities, this fashion fantasy is a reality. Every red carpet and talk show appearance brings a new head-to-toe designer look, never to be repeated. How do the stars sustain such expansive, expensive, ever-changing wardrobes?
Sheer clothing is undeniably one of the hottest trends right now. This trend is showing no signs of slowing down.

Sumptuous fabrics sing in jewel tones; daring silhouettes pirouette down the promenade. It's opening night, and the fashion on display is nothing short of art. How do we define elegance in an era that prizes individuality as much as tradition?
