I have to be honest with you; I had no clue who Doona Bae was up until someone pointed her out to me. Apparently, she’s a big time actress in Korea. But here’s the thing, what drew me to the Asian beauty was the sheer lace dress she wore to the European premiere of her movie, ‘Cloud Atlas’ (her first foray into English films).
Simply put, Doona looked stunning in the black high neck long-sleeved frock and it was interesting how she was able to make something sensually sexy seem so conservative…and proper.

How do you like her look?
I find it quite intriguing actually. I love the mix she put together – from the hair, to her creamy skin, to the red lips, to that see-through yet prim evening gown. Her sharp features and razor cut bangs created such a gorgeous contrast to the romantic dress that you simply can’t help but stare. Which brings us to the question, how would you wear her dress if you had it?
I have no details on Doona’s black lace gown yet, but if you love lace and want something sheer, you can try splurging on these dresses.

But if spending loads of money isn’t your cup of tea, why not go for these more wearable pieces from Free People? These aren’t as “prim” but they’re definitely as sheer.
