Maisie Williams has always marched to the beat of her own drum, so it’s no surprise that she brought her signature counterculture edge to fashion’s obsession with sheer cutouts. Last night, the actress attended the BAFTA pre-party in London wearing a barely there mesh top.
Williams’ top was from Nensi Dojaka, a fashion girl favorite, and was actually more about revealing the most skin possible than proper functionality. The front of the piece featured a criss-cross neckline, followed by a series of revealing cutouts near the actress’ chest. Very, very cordy straps were attached to each side of the long sleeves, and a completely see-through panel took up most of the top.
Now, the likes of Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber (both no strangers to the slutty trend) might have worn this piece solo or paired with something like sheer bottoms as well. not. But considering Williams comes from a completely different world of style, more London underground than Calabasas chic, it’s no surprise that she executed the rest of her look in her own way.
The actress styled her look with a lingerie top and loose dress pants. Her loose-fitting bottoms brought an understated edge to her look. Sure, her top was very “out of the house,” but her casual pants made her look like she had just returned from some kind of business meeting.
There was also a sizable cutout on the back, which perfectly showed off Williams’ various tattoos.
Styling also played an important role in Williams’ sheer switch. His crescent-shaped shoulder bag with multi-colored graphics further enhanced the London edge of his look, as did his pointed sling back and his heels. Oh, and we can’t forget her sleek back pixie cut and her statement hoop earrings.
There’s no denying that the styles of London, New York, and Los Angeles are very different. Aside from his wildly different fashion weeks, each city’s celebrities have a fairly distinct identity. You’d be hard-pressed to find an LA girl wearing clothes that a Londoner would wear, and vice versa. Case in point: Maisie Williams’ goth-glam take on sheer fabrics.
