Model Phuong Oanh strolled down the catwalk in a completely see-through dress at the Alexander Wang show at the 2023 New York Fashion Week.

The see-through silk dress had a cut at the chest area and stripes made of tassels. Before the show, she also took part in a photoshoot for Phillip Lim.

New York Fashion Week is taking place in the U.S. with the participation of 74 fashion houses. Oanh said she was happy and excited to be in a Marc Jacobs fashion show at the beginning of the year, and to then get chosen for the Alexander Wang show on Thursday.

The event marks Wang's first return to New York Fashion Week since May 2019. In late 2020 and early 2021, the designer faced accusations of sexual misconduct, but he made a public apology afterward.
