Alessandra Ambrosio has never been afraid to bare it all, but the 43-year-old Brazilian model may have pioneered an entirely new level of nudity at the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show after-party on Oct. 15. After stomping down the runway in a black teddy, gold angel wings, and an iridescent mesh sarong earlier in the evening, she changed into a Dolce & Gabbana look that took the naked dress trend to soaring new heights.

With a fur bolero draped elegantly around her shoulders, the model poured herself into a sheer black corset dress with defined boning, a floor-length skirt, and a plunging halter neckline. Interestingly, it was a big night for boleros more broadly. K-pop star Lisa performed at the show in a particularly memorable chrome chain bolero. Models Bella Hadid and Lila Moss, meanwhile, hit the runway in big furry red and pink boleros, respectively.

The dress was more or less see-through to showcase the black lace bra and opaque black thong she was wearing underneath. She even turned around to flash the gown's ruched, booty-baring skirt. Now, I'm starting to see why the Victoria's Secret alumnus has been doing squats on the beach so much lately.

To keep the focus on her daring look, she all but skipped accessories apart from a pair of statement gold, rhinestone, and pearl drop earrings from Dolce & Gabbana. Her hair was given the signature Victoria's Secret beach wave treatment, as is tradition. Her makeup, meanwhile, emphasized a smoldering cat eye and nude-pink lips.

Without a doubt, one of the evening's best moments was watching OG Victoria's Secret models like Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, and Irina Shayk reunite alongside newcomers such as Kate and Lila Moss, Paloma Elsesser, Ashley Graham, and Valentina Sampaio. However you might feel about the brand's attempted comeback, I think we can all agree it was thrilling to see these women back on the catwalk doing what they've always done best: maximizing their joint slay.

Hanna’s editorial journey began with formative internships at Elle and InStyle, where she was lucky enough to work for some of the smartest women in media while she was still in college at the University of Tennessee. Hanna then accepted a digital culture reporting fellowship at Insider, where she helped carve out a new beat dedicated to covering influencers. Those experiences later served her well as a staff writer at Glamour, where she developed a knack for spinning quick turnaround celebrity news and trend reporting into juicy feature stories.

Diane Keaton once hung up on Hanna during an interview, but thankfully that mishap did not derail what has otherwise been a deeply fulfilling career writing for and about women. As one of Marie Claire's resident experts on style and culture, her current coverage ranges from exploring TikTok's contrast makeup theory and the return of the boat shoe trend to interviews with costume designers for hit shows like Nobody Wants This and The Penguin.
