Olandria Carthen Makes a Case for the Lingerie-First Formal Dress Look — See Photos

Olandria Carthen is integrating herself into the fashion world one red carpet at a time, and her latest outing proves she’s planning to be here a long time. The Love Island USA season 7 alum stepped out to attend InStyle’s Imagemaker Awards in California on October 23, wearing a vintage black satin gown from Roberto Cavalli.

Lace has always been a staple in celebrity fashion, and now more than ever, we’re getting it in fun styles as the rise of lingerie-first type looks continues to infiltrate celebrity street style and red carpet looks.

Carthen added a bit of flair to her take on lace, opting for this floor-length dress. At the top, with its trim, the look resembles an early 2000s lace cami top — a staple of Y2K fashion that is currently having a resurgence in popularity. The dress also featured sheer panels across the leg, resembling a slit without fully committing to one. She kept the rest of the look simple, going Old Hollywood glamour with barrel curls and a deep side part. Her makeup featured a prominent red lip, which she complemented with dangling silver earrings.
