Bra tops on the red carpet are closely associated with Madonna: after all, the pop icon did popularize wearing lingerie outside the boudoir after putting Jean Paul Gaultier’s cone bra on the map. These days, designers like Elie Saab and Miu Miu are putting their own spin on the trend, sending subtler versions of the bra top down the runway in recent seasons.
After peekaboo bras and bralettes had a major moment in 2023, the fad is here to stay this year as stars including Natalie Portman, Sydney Sweeney and Katie Holmes model lingerie-inspired styles at fashion week and other high-profile events. Most recently, Lauren Sanchez opted for the layering look wearing Alexander McQueen at Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Ahead, see more celebrities who have tried out the exposed bra layering fashion trend.
