Between sweet moments with her sons Jason and Travis Kelce and candid box moments with Taylor Swift, we’ve been watching Donna Kelce for a few reasons over the past year.
But the NFL mom, 72, recently took center stage in a fashionable black sheer dress on the cover of Glamour‘s Women of the Year Issue. Kelce was in good company with fellow famous moms, including Tina Knowles, 70 (Beyoncé’s mother), Maggie Baird, 65 (Billie Eilish’s mother), and Mandy Teefey, 48 (Selena Gomez’s mother).
Kelce took a sophisticated spin on the Hollywood-approved sheer dress trend that Kate Hudson and Joey King have also worn black versions of, layering a Norma Kamali dress over a Ralph Lauren slip. We set out to find sheer dresses and blouses like the hers for the many holiday season events ahead — and our picks start at just $20.

A New Day Long-Sleeve Sheer Maxi Dress
Mindy Kaling and Oprah are among the pack of celebrities wearing maxi dresses this year, and Kelce’s layered iteration is a good way to take this style into fall. This black maxi from Target has a sheer mesh outer layer and a built-in slip dress, accented by delicate ruffles along the shoulders and wrists. Stick with the polka-dot pattern to get the most similar look to Kelce’s, or go for the black and brown floral option for a Thanksgiving dress.
Grace Karin Wrap Dress, $36 with coupon
Whether you’re headed to the office or that nice restaurant you’ve wanted to try, this elegant wrap dress may be your next go-to outfit. Its V-neck and cinched waist offer a confidence-boosting silhouette while the dotted organza sleeves add a touch of personality.
More than 2,400 shoppers rated this dress five stars, with one reviewer, who owns two colors, saying that it’s “perfect for just about any occasion [they] can think of.”
Mangopop Sheer Long Sleeve Blouse
If you find yourself reaching for a blouse over a dress more frequently, channel Kelce’s style with this sheer-sleeved blouse at Amazon. The bodice is an opaque black bodysuit with puffy sleeves, finished off by stretchy black bands at the wrists and a romantically ruffled neckline.
One reviewer was impressed by its performance in the heat, saying it “stayed put, didn’t ride up, and the material didn’t make [them] sweat at all.” Best of all, it made them feel “super confident all day long.”
Gap Sheer Shirt
For something a little more versatile, try this sheer button-down blouse. Designed with flowy sleeves, a pointed collar, and fabric-wrapped buttons, this see-through top is a good layering piece over a black camisole or a swimsuit as a cover-up. It comes in this classic navy hue or a delicate floral option, both adding an interesting touch of texture to any fall outfit.
If you haven’t found your favorite yet, there’s several more to choose from. Keep scrolling for more Donna Kelce-inspired sheer dresses and blouses that will make you feel like Woman of the Year, too.
