Lifestyle Style Hot Pants Are, Well, So Hot Right Now: See Who's Wearing Fall's Sexiest Trend Celebrities like Emma Corrin, Olivia Wilde and Jodie Turner-Smith can't get enough of these barely there bottoms By Emily Kirkpatrick Published on October 2, 2023 11:09AM EDT Close Photo: Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty; Jamie McCarthy/Getty; Karwai Tang/WireImage 2023 has undeniably been the year of visible underwear on the red carpet. But as we move into the chillier months ahead, it appears that this celebrity trend has gotten a slightly more fall-friendly makeover. Instead of the usual briefs and G-strings worn beneath sheer maxi skirts and lace pants, stars have begun ditching the cover-up altogether and just stepping out in a pair of hot pants. In fact, this new crop of autumnal shorts are so short they could easily be mistaken for underwear. While some of these short-shorts definitely fall into the lingerie category, others have been made more outdoors appropriate thanks to fun details like rhinestones and buttons, or more substantial fabrics, like wool and velvet. If you, like these celebrities, aren't ready to let go of summer just yet, consider a few of these styling suggestions to extend the life of your short collection just a little while longer. 01 of 09 Emma Corrin for Miu Miu Fall 2023 Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Emma Corrin kicked off this new look in March when they walked the runway for Miu Miu's fall 2023 collection in a pair of fully bedazzled gold briefs worn as outerwear. 02 of 09 Emma Corrin at the Venice Film Festival Stefania D'Alessandro/WireImage And earlier this month, they revived the look at the Venice Film Festival in another matching hot pant and cardigan set from the brand, this time in an olive green knit. 03 of 09 Olivia Culpo at the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2024 Show Edward Berthelot/Getty Olivia Culpo put a C-suite twist on these very abbreviated shorts, pairing her one-inch inseam with a double-breasted blazer to attend Dolce & Gabbana's spring 2024 runway show in Milan. 04 of 09 Olivia Wilde at the Michael Kors Spring 2024 Show Jamie McCarthy/Getty Fashion week typically means a whole lot of stiff, uncomfortable clothing and super high heels, but Olivia Wilde found a way to keep it cozy in this extremely leg-baring matching set at the Michael Kors spring 2024 show. 05 of 09 Hailey Bieber During Paris Fashion Week SplashNews Hailey Bieber made a major fashion statement during Paris Fashion Week, balancing out her micro shorts with a floor-skimming leather trench coat. 06 of 09 Dua Lipa on Vacation in Ibiza Dua Lipa/Instagram Dua Lipa decided pants were optional to celebrate her birthday in Ibiza, going off in search of the nearest dance floor in this French cut romper. 07 of 09 Doechii at the Tommy Hilfiger Brunch Gotham/GC Images And while this Hollywood trend is still relatively new, celebs have already proven that there's no short too short for their liking. The bottoms of the rich and famous are now venturing into straight-up tighty-whities territory, like the Tommy Hilfiger-branded pair Doechii wore to a brunch hosted by the designer during New York Fashion Week. 08 of 09 Jodie Turner-Smith at Vogue World Karwai Tang/WireImage Jodie Turner-Smith took this look one step further, ditching the pretense of coverage altogether and pairing her Viktor & Rolf bow with a simple black G-string. 09 of 09 Julia Fox at the PrettyLittleThing by Naomi Campbell Show Rachpoot/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images And Julia Fox served as a harbinger of this hot pants trend's future, demonstrating where this trend is potentially headed.
