Nobody Wants This Actress Justine Lupe Discusses the Revealing Dress That Needed a "Butt Check"

      What connects Dakota Johnson and Margot Robbie to Justine Lupe's red carpet fashion? The Nobody Wants This actress clarified this link in our latest podcast episode released today. When discussing her 2025 Emmys outfit, a sheer Carolina Herrera dress, Lupe mentioned she had some hesitations about donning such a revealing garment but found inspiration from the two actresses. "It was encouraging that Dakota Johnson wore a sheer dress and Margot Robbie wore a sheer dress in the two weeks leading up to [the Emmys]. I thought, yes, thank you for paving the way for me, ladies. I can do this!" Lupe, the feature star of Who What Wear's inaugural Parents Issue, also shared more behind-the-scenes insights regarding her stunning dress. "I had never done anything like this before, so I wasn't sure how to handle it with everything on display. The beauty of the dress lies in its sheerness. You don't want to add extra thickness; you want it to remain as it is, which is quite transparent. But we did wonder, is my butt okay? Checking on the rear. What kind of underwear would work here? Are there visible panty lines? What do we do? So we went through several steps to determine how to make it work." Scroll down to see her Emmys gown in all its sequined splendor.
