Trendy sultry Romeo's stripped (7)

I believe the answer is:

topical

'trendy' is the definition.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for topical that I've seen before include "hot" , "Up to date" , "currently newsworthy" , "Related to current affairs" , "Like The Sunday Times" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
