Rosie Huntington-Whiteley backless Gucci dress at LACMA Gala, Digi Mart USA News: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley arrived at the LACMA Art and Film Gala on Saturday night in a backless custom Gucci dress that has to be seen to be believed.
The long-sleeved black gown is modest in the front, featuring a sculptural oversize collar that almost obscures her chin. The back, however, is anything but modest, leaving most of the supermodel’s backside exposed.
The whole dress appears to be held together with a single clasp below her left hip. That construction has drawn attention from observers who question how the gown stays in place while the wearer poses.
Fashion commentary on the look notes that making the dress appear effortless is part of the job for a professional model. Still, the design raises practical questions about how the garment was engineered.
The look follows recent fashion trends that have spotlighted bold backless and revealing silhouettes. The commentary suggests that backsides are having a moment in high fashion.
