Salma Hayek's part in the 'naked dress' trend is kind of fascinating. I mean, when she showed up at Cannes wearing that blue cardigan that left a lot to the imagination, it really pushed the boundaries of what you'd expect to see at such a fancy event. While she wasn't directly wearing the 'naked dress' as we see today, her look definitely had some of those elements that have defined the trend.

In my opinion, her outfit opened the door for stars to experiment more with their red carpet looks, showing them that you can flaunt a little without being, y'know, too over-the-top. Fast forward to today, and you have all these celebrities embracing this revealing style, and it's like a nod to icons like Hayek who paved the way with their bold choices.

Even though the Cannes festival eventually put a crackdown on this trend, Hayek’s influence is undeniable. It's cool to see how she might have contributed to this evolution in fashion, proving that rules in fashion are kinda meant to be rewritten, especially on carpets that were once super formal.
