Hilary Swank

Hilary Swank attended the Armani Prive couture show yesterday in Paris showing off the visible underwear trend in a barely-there dress

The show was held at the Palais de Chaillot and Swank decided to brace the cold weather and opted for a dress that barely covered her chest.

The dress is a nod to a new trend coming our way this spring and summer - 'boudoir seduction'. The trend is not to hide away our underwear but to subtley show a bit of brassiere. This trend goes hand in hand with another spring/summer trend - the sheer look.

Swank's dress is structured and formal which allows her stomach being shown through the sheer material without appearing trashy.

The trend is not for the wall flowers out there - you need to have the confidence for this seductive look.

The structure of the dress is of a boudoir style. The lacy sheer chiffon is only usually seen on night gowns or corsets in the boudoir but this trend allows underwear to break free from just the bedroom.

This boudoir style is built for seduction so take Hilary's lead - this could be the perfect style for a Valentines day to remember.
