Leg Veil Dresses on the Red Carpet

The leg veil dress is one of the biggest trends we have seen on the red carpet this year. Virtually everyone has tried to wear this trend, but not all pulled it off successfully.

Someday, we’ll probably want to forget this trend existed, but right now, some ladies are rocking leg veil dresses well enough for us to want to see them stick around.

But what about you ladies? What is your stand on the increasingly popular leg veil dress? Do you think it is absolutely edgy or downright tacky?

For you to decide better, let’s take a look at some of the celebrities who have worn this trend:

Nicole Richie wore a Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2007 long-sleeve beaded embellished gown with fur and crystal cuffed sleeves, a black House of Harlow 1960 Wynn snakeskin clutch, and Jennifer Meyer yellow gold and inlay turquoise triangle diamond studs at the LACMA 2013 Art + Film Gala honoring Martin Scorsese and David Hockney presented by Gucci at LACMA on November 2, 2013, in Los Angeles, California (Credit: WENN)

Nicole Richie was the image of perfection at the recently concluded LACMA 2013 Art and Film Gala. Her Dolce & Gabbana leg veil dress was exquisitely made.

We are not too crazy about the hairstyle, but we think she looked gorgeous in this gown.

Pixie Lott wore a Yuvna Kim Spring 2014 strapless dress featuring floral appliques and a sheer tulle skirt with delicate embellishments at the Pride of Britain awards at Grosvenor House on October 7, 2013, in London, England (Credit: WENN)

One of our favorite leg veil dress looks is this one from Pixie Lott. Her Yuvna Kim dress was exciting and whimsical. She brought a different kind of sexy to the red carpet that night.

Lena Headey in a sexy and revealing Alessandra Rich Fall 2013 sheer black snakeskin-print dress with a thigh-high slit that she chose not to line at the 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on September 22, 2013, in Los Angeles, California (Credit: WENN)

It looks like Lena Headey was channeling her Game of Thrones character, Cersei, in this Alessandra Rich dress.

She could easily pass herself off as a queen. Although the dress bared more leg than we’d care for in a red carpet dress, she actually pulled it off elegantly.

Kerry Washington went for a modern, sleek silhouette with flawless makeup and shoulder-length, lightly highlighted hair (Credit: WENN)

Kerry Washington was among the first to wear this trend on the red carpet.

Her Miu Miu dress had a more straightforward cut and silhouette, but it definitely boasted fine embellishments. Kerry’s pared-down styling made the dress look extra classy.

Actress Rachel Weisz in an attractive Louis Vuitton dress that played to the sheer and solid trend at the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 13, 2013, in Beverly Hills, California (Credit: WENN)

Rachel Weisz put the other ladies in attendance at the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards to shame, which is no easy feat! The Mummy actress owes part of the look’s success to her Louis Vuitton polka-dot overlay gown.

Actress Jennifer Morrison wearing a sheer corset gown by Kristian Aadnevik Fall 2013 at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 19, 2013, in Las Vegas, Nevada (Credit: WENN)

Jennifer took a risk at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards when she wore a see-through Kristian Aadnevik dress down the blue carpet.

The dress easily resembled something you would wear on your honeymoon and flaunted Jennifer’s toned body. We aren’t that crazy about how much skin the dress exposed (especially from the back), but we think Jennifer looked gorgeous.

So, what are your thoughts on the leg veil dress? Does this trend deserve a quick death?
