Maura Higgins delivered a striking red carpet moment while attending Vanity Fair Night for Young Hollywood. She stepped out in a dramatic sheer gown from Christian Siriano’s Fall/Winter 2026 ready to wear collection.
The figure-hugging black dress balanced transparency with an intricate design. Crafted from sheer fabric, the gown featured large velvet floral appliqués strategically placed across the bodice, sleeves, and skirt. The design motifs created a striking contrast against the translucent base. They offer coverage while allowing glimpses of skin beneath to be seen. The design played with negative space, forming a pattern of petals and leaves that appeared to float across her body.

The dress also featured a high neckline and long, fitted sleeves, giving the silhouette an elegant structure. The fitted bodice flowed into a sleek skirt that hugged the hips before extending into a dramatic train.
One of the most distinctive elements of the look was the statement-draped detail Higgins carried on her side. Made from the same sheer fabric and floral elements, the flowing piece resembled a flowing bouquet of velvet leaves. It added volume and movement to the otherwise fitted silhouette.
From the back, the gown revealed even more intricate detailing. The sheer paneling allowed the floral motifs to stand out dramatically, creating a layered effect that highlighted the craftsmanship. The long train trailed behind Higgins as she moved, emphasising the lightweight fabric.
Higgins complemented the gown with sleek styling. Her hairstyle featured a bun with a short side fringe framing her face. Her makeup focused on glowing skin, softly contoured cheeks, defined brows, and warm-toned eyeshadow paired with a nude lip. With its strategic sheer panels, intricate velvet detailing, and dramatic flowing train, the Christian Siriano design delivered a memorable red-carpet fashion moment.
