G-String Dress Trend Dominates The Red Carpet! Celebs Showcase Their Exposed Thong Moments
People like being bold with fashion, and now, the G-string dress trend is making a big comeback.
If you’ve resolved to be braver with your style, then brace yourself as the G-string dress trend is back. The style is specifically a take on the ‘90s exposed thong trend’ where women show off their underwear over the waistband of low-rise dresses or jeans, but combine the outfits and underwear in a single garment. The vibe is no doubt a little cheeky but also body-confident and in celebration of womanly curves.
Christina Aguilera was among the celebrities to popularize whale tails about 25 years ago. But the G-string dress is now making a comeback. To achieve the look, you must be able to embrace a deliberate wardrobe malfunction by flashing your thongs over the clothes; therefore, it’s not for the fainthearted. We’ve compiled some brave celebrities who have rocked the G-string dress look. Have a look and enjoy!
Charli XCX showed off quite a lot in this completely sheer gown for the 2023 Brit Awards, flaunting her thongs while posing for photos.

Rita Ora took things to new extremes, wearing this frock that was completely see-through as she attended the Fashion Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in 2023.

Kim Kardashian celebrated Givenchy’s Mathew Williams’s first collection wearing his sleek black gown with a red G-sting in October 2020.

Hailey Biber had also joined in on the G-string dress trend by opting for this open-back pink dress that flaunted her sparkly thong at the Met Gala.

Kourtney Kardashian had her husband, Travis Baker, snap this cheeky photo of her flaunting her tiny black G-string.

Liza Koshy also made a bold statement with the trend as she sported this one-of-a-kind Morphew Atelier Victorian lace for the 80th Annual Golden Globe Awards.

Kendall Jenner modeled this two-red piece, which featured a sultry bottom thong.

Notably, the G-string dress can sometimes expose the top half of a derriere. The racy look that typically accentuates a wearer’s behind is also an imitation of a controversial style from Gucci’s 1998 spring collection, which saw models walk the runway in satin trousers with leather hip straps peeking about the waistband. If you are looking to work the G-string dress trend, you might want to go for sustainable lingerie from brands like Cavalier, Prism, and Boody.
Doja Cat was giving “yes” as she stunned in the white ensemble in a photo posted to Instagram.

Alexa Demie joined in on the G-sting trend as she sported this snakeskin dress for the premiere of Euphoria in June 2019.

Bella Hadid walked the runway for Versace’s 2020 spring-summer show in this matching visible thong and bra beneath a sparkling suit jacket and pants.

Kylie Jenner also showed how the look is done as she sported this cropped black blouse with a visible thong strap going over her bare hip just above her miniskirt in a February 3, 2023, Instagram Story video.

Dua Lipa showed off the white garment beneath her sparkling New Year’s Eve dress in December 2022.

Yet again, Dua Lipa flaunted a peek-a-boo G-string while wearing a sexy LBD. A photo from January 2021.

Interestingly, the G-string dress has resulted in whale tail trousers. The trousers have appeared in stores across the world and have caused quite a stir. They look just like any other style from the front, but the rearview tells something different. Instead of covering the lower back like the traditional high-waisted silhouette, the G-string trousers were cut out in a triangular shape that looks like a denim G-string sewn into the pants. However, it’s a style that conservative dressers might certainly steer clear of.
Kourtney Kardashian loves to wear thongs, such as during this steamy make-out session with her husband Travis.

Avril Lavigne flaunted a black G-string in this racy Instagram post from May 2023.

SZA posed in these low-rise jeans and a viable thong on her Instagram in January 2021.

Kylie Jenner flaunted this green thong while rocking jeans and a matching bra on Instagram in June 2019.
