Melbourne’s fashion queen Bec Judd has become the latest celebrity to embrace the visible pantyline trend (VPL).

The mum of four stepped out in a custom gown by Melbourne couturiers J’Aton to attend The Met x Eichholtz Collection Launch at James Said in Armadale.

Sydney ath-leisure designer Pip Edwards put the VPL trend on the map wearing a bodysuit with a translucent skirt over the top to Victoria Derby Day at Flemington.

The ‘no pants’ look sent the racing fashion dress code monitors into a spin.

Judd took her interpretation to “The Met” on Saturday night.

She wore a stunning white evening dress which featured a sculptured bodice and bodysuit with a full length translucent skirt over the top.

The skirt included embellishment towards the base and a hem in the same white as the bodice.

The translucent skirt gave the outfit a daring edge and gave the illusion of underwear as outerwear. It was the old trick of seeming to be wearing less than you really are.

In an Australian first, the world-renowned institution The Metropolitan Museum (The Met) landed in Melbourne for the launch at luxury furniture store James Said – a collection of 90 pieces of furniture, lighting and accessories inspired from over 5000 years of art and history exhibited at the Met Museum.

The Metropolitan Museum (The Met) in New York is one of the world’s most celebrated museums.

James Said founder Bethany James said the aura of the Met was reflected throughout.

“My favourites piece in the collection is definitely the lighting,” she said.

“They are spectacular and large, so add instant drama to any room. They can be hung on their own but can also be clustered together for maximum impact.”

Two senior Met executives, Morgan Pearce and Josh Romm, travelled from America to attend the James Said Met Black Tie Event marking the launch of the collaboration.

Other guests included James Said founder Bethany James, Neale Whitaker, Lorinska Merrington, Shaynna Blaze, Jessie Roberts, Tayla Broad, Jason Grech, Alin Le Kal, Mikayla and Jack Crisp, Jacinta Stapleton, Charlotte Argyrou, and Diida Papafotiou.
