unadornment
Absence of decoration
Unadornment is the state of being without decoration or embellishment.
The word appears rarely, mostly in contexts where simplicity itself becomes notable: The unadornment of her dress made a statement at the gala.
It suggests deliberate plainness rather than mere absence.
