Fashion Week

Boudoir chic.

And spoiler alert: theyre all spicy.

It really shouldnt have come as a surprise.

PatBO and Christian Siriano sent designer bras down the runway.

Stars likeDua Lipa,Emily Ratajkowski, andRihannahave been trading actual shirts for designer bras for months.

(Lipa, for example, has donned multiple monogrammed, sheer, Gucci bras as tops).

EvenSydney SweeneyandScarlett Johanssonrocked the exposed bra style, in dresses with built-in faux bra straps.

Last season, a number of sheer ensembles traipsed the runways.

But bras mostly took a backseat, serving as mere undergarments for designers who didnt free the nipple.

these days, however, even when peering through diaphanous fabrics, the bra felt a lot more intentional.

Lim also styled visible bras under strategically buttoned tops and jackets.

The utterly sophisticated styling technique ensured the boudoir items were perfectly coordinated with the rest of their fits.

Meanwhile, at Christian Siriano, the bra in its purest form, took center stage.

At Priscavera and Palomo Spain, bras in contrasting hues and prints jutted out of tops and dresses.

It was reminiscent of the chaotic styling of the early aughts.

On even more runways, the bra was given absolute luxe treatment.

Whether embellished, embroidered, or bedazzled, the bra served as the most decadent of slinky tops.

PatBO embellished bras with pearls, Kim Shui enveloped them in sequins, and Wiederhoeft decorated them with crystals.
