Sofia Black D’Elia, Rachel Thevenard, Eleanor Zichy, Camille Cresencia-Mills Skins and Britne Oldford in Elle

The stars of the controversial MTV show, Skins, are getting a fashion makeover at Elle, courtesy of creative director Joe Zee. The theme covers one of the latest trends of spring – innerwear as outerwear.

The photo gallery includes before and after photos showing the cast members wearing the clothing in the conventional manner, followed with a photo revealing the new stylish angle. Sofia Black D’Elia (pictured above) is seen in a neutral corset that gets the glam treatment with a skirt and J. Crew jacket, while Rache Thevenard’s bedroom-ready wrap/romper is made street-ready with just the simple addition of a roomy pair of pants.

Britne Oldford shows off some skin with lace and a form-fitting dress, and tap pants reveal their diversity with Camille Cresencia-Mills. Eleanor Zichy provides proof that a bra doesn’t have to be covered up, while James Newman gets the style shaft by covering up his tank-t with a stylish, but rather plain, black ensemble. As usual, the guys just don’t have much in the way of variety, as there are only so many combos that scream ‘cool’ while so many variations can be done for women to pull off ‘sexy’.

Check out the pics and then come back to share your opinions on the innerwear as outerwear trend. Will you be a trendsetter this spring?
