The peek-a-boo style has been worn by nearly all of Hollywood.
The peek-a-boo styles roots go far beyond its 90s heyday, however.
Old Hollywood icons like Mary Astor and Lauren Bacall have flaunted skin in holey gowns in their 30s-era films.
Think: lone squares smack dab in the center of ones decolletage or artfully-placed circles across a torso.
(This more whimsical take on the look is a major move from the trends spicier associations.)
The fervor for the cut-out style reached an all-time high in the 90s, after the release ofPretty Woman.
Since then, the garment has been reimagined by a majority of todays top fashion designers.
Dont worry, though.
The look isnt getting old far from it.
Interpretations on the incisions just keep getting more creative, with no body part left behind.
