She covered a black bralette with a mesh top that hugged her body and tucked the latter into a high-waisted pencil skirt.

Hudson also wore patent-leather sandals and her hair in loose curls.

The top of her blush-colored dress wrapped around her neck like a choker, while its bodice featured a deep, V-shaped plunge.

The latter piece was also semi-sheer, as it was made from a thin fabric and decorated with strips of lace.

Hudson put a sheer twist on maternity fashion in 2003 at the Venice Film Festival.

Her bralette top was covered with a sheer, cropped overlay, and her knee-length skirt had a matching top layer that was see-through and reached the floor.

Her form-fitting dress was crafted from a tan fabric that matched her skin tone, creating a "naked" illusion.

It was also covered in thin slits held together with gold thread, adding more sheer detailing to the look.

In 2015, Hudson attended the annual Saint-Tropez Gala in a black Julien Macdonald gown with cutouts and lace details.

Alexander McQueen designed her strapless dress. It had a corset bodice decorated with crystal broaches and a floor-length skirt that revealed her black underwear.

Some of Hudson's sheer outfits have been more whimsical than daring.

At the 2018 Screen Actors Guild Awards, Hudson hit the red carpet in a pink gown printed with black hearts from Valentino. The long-sleeved dress had a ruffled neckline, a tiered skirt, and a black bow around the waist.

A sheer element was added up top in the form of black lace covering her décolletage and neck.

Hudson's see-through outfits have become a staple at the Venice Film Festival, so it was only fitting that she wore a vibrant, semi-sheer look in 2021.

For a screening of "Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon," Hudson donned a Valentino dress with a high neckline made from lace. The gown also had sheer balloon sleeves and a mesh bodice, the latter of which had strategically-placed lace covering Hudson's chest.

Its tulle skirt, on the other hand, was opaque and reached the floor.

She's also found ways to pair sheer tops with traditional trousers.
