I don't know if this is the right board to discuss this but I wanted to know why nudity or the imagery not wearing of under garments can be both used to portray sensuality and innocence/purity at the same time.
Is there any name for this kind of style depicting mix of sensual and innocent imagery of a girl with an ethereal aura of natural beauty?

It's not a style, it's a mix of techniques used in evoking the author's intent.
Usually lighting is crucial to how we percieve things and forms and it sets the mood. See pic related for photographers, but it's actually very similar/practically same for painting.
If you use a lot of soft shadows, delicate ambient light, strategicaly placed highlights etc. you can do lots of stuff.
See the photo you posted. Light caught around the hair of a woman makes a glow around her head as if she has aureola of a saint. Light in the gown radiates, while the nudity is both visible and obscured in the way that leaves something to imagination.
If you play those elements well and leave something "for the viewer" to solve about the picture, it is subtle, tasteful and interesting. That's also why pornfags are in 99% cases delusional, stagnating idiots that don't understand that besides carnal appeal there should be some mystery and subtelty for the viewer to appreciate. Some narrative.

Some more examples about light. As far as I remember, "Framed Ink" showed it in good way.

I think a lot of it has to do with the way it is shown and how the girl feels about the nudity. There's a lot of subtle things around this stuff, like ask yourself what the difference is between "naked" and "nude". They mean the same thing, but at the same time mean very different things and have a lot of connotations with them.
The purity and innocence probably comes from not having a concept of shame or self awareness so the nudity is just a thing that happens to be there. It's as though the girl is unaware that her body might be seen as something sexual. It might go back to religious things where man is created without clothes, think of Adam and Eve for example. Or when a baby is born they have no concept of clothing and what nudity is or means.
On the other hand if a girl is shown in a pose that shows a self awareness where she is maybe subtly flaunting her nudity then it has a very different feel to it and becomes more sexual/sensual. If she also has sexual features like large breasts or hips which are shown clearly then it automatically takes on a more sexual note, even if the pose itself isn't sexual.
