How to wear see-through clothes without looking naked and overdoing it?
Charlotte Casiraghi offered some answers on the Met Gala red carpet on Monday night in New York.
The 36-year-old rider took the opportunity of the social gathering to try her hand at this stylistic exercise, which is very fashionable among the stars.
No question, however, of being as unbridled as a Madonna whose thong unveiled in transparency had marked the 2016 edition of the Gala.
Charlotte Casiraghi offers a very subtle version of the transparent dress.

The Chanel ambassador quite naturally turned to a piece from the brand's archives to pay tribute to the man of the evening.
She wore a black silk lace dress created by Karl Lagerfeld for haute couture in the fall-winter of 1996-1997.
Totally transparent, the piece is cleverly worn with a tight-fitting black jumpsuit, also in silk, which hides the most intimate parts of the body from view.
While not obstructing the play of light allowed by the delicate openwork lace.

The nobility of art
In the past, in an attempt to shine in the dazzling evening of fashion, some aristocratic personalities also tried their hand at transparency.
Queen Rania of Jordan, in 2016, opted for a dress in “thousand leaves” of tulle and embroidered.
The following year, it was Princess Beatrice of York who tried a modest game of transparency, in a royal blue dress with a Victorian collar, also fully lined.
"Be 'politically correct' but don't knock others out with it," said Karl Lagerfeld.
An instruction that her longtime friend Charlotte Casiraghi hastened to apply.
