Besides the controversial dress of "senior" Coco Arayha Suparurk, the see-through outfit that made Miss Grand Thailand - Engfa Waraha also received mixed opinions.

During the live broadcast on April 16, the "pet" of the Miss Grand International president wore a bold see-through outfit. She chose to wear a black bikini combined with a see-through dress of the same color, hugging her body.

Reason for controversial outfit

However, according to The New York Times , wearers need to pay attention to the context if choosing see-through clothing.

Despite taking on the role of MC for the swimsuit competition of the contestants at Miss Grand Thailand 2023, Engfa's appearance in the bikini design and see-through dress is still not suitable.

The New York Times believes that wearers should choose underwear with neutral colors, importantly, that match their skin tone to create a subtle see-through effect, avoiding causing offense to those around them.

However, with Engfa’s fair skin, the black bikini underneath was clearly visible on the see-through bodycon dress. The design of the top and bottom was not suitable because of the “lack of fabric” structure and complicated details such as straps, buckles and metal logos.

The Fashion Spot recommends pairing a balconette top with high-waisted panties when wearing a see-through dress. For a bikini top, the site suggests that the top should be thick enough to provide some coverage if the shorts are kept in shape, similar to the designs of Moncler Gamme Rouge. Additionally, the texture of the underwear should be simple and clear, according to Stylight.

See-through like Dua Lipa

Compared to Engfa Waraha's similar style, Dua Lipa's see-through outfit at Milan Fashion Week 2023 was praised by international experts and media.

The Mirr or page highly appreciated her black see-through design with subtle body coverage thanks to the lace panels and high neckline. In addition, with the see-through dress combined with lace details and external embellishments, the New Rules singer received positive feedback in her wedding party outfit in August 2022.

Overall, Dua Lipa's lingerie is quite simple and has a color intensity that is not too different from the dress outside.

Sharing with Zing , designer Tran Hung pointed out that wearing underwear that is the same color as the skin or fabric will help the wearer look sexy but not offensive. He said that the wearer should prioritize choosing underwear that avoids fussy details.

In addition to Dua Lipa, international stars such as Kristen Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence, Hunter Schafe,... show sophistication when choosing lingerie and see-through dresses. Most of the outfits will have quite prominent see-through outfits with different types of embellishments and surface treatments. However, the common point lies in the monochrome lingerie, which is chosen to match the skin color or the outer dress.

Engfa's case is the opposite, she chose to highlight her underwear inside with a simple, thin, see-through dress outside. This caused her and the entire program to receive many negative responses.
