Breastplates, bralettes: On the red carpet, opt for bold

The red carpet is where fashion truly makes a statement. With the next edition of Bangalore Times Fashion Week coming up this weekend, it’s time to gather inspiration from your favourite celebrities. Get ready to up your red carpet fashion game with bold trends like breastplates, corsets, and bralettes.

Breastplate: Once a protective armour piece, the breastplate has evolved into a fashion statement. This torso-covering garment draws its inspiration from ancient warfare.

Corset: It is a fitted couture piece designed to enhance a woman’s body type and curves, creating a chic look. It is also being reimagined as a modern alternative to a traditional sari blouse.

Bralette: What once was an undergarment has now become a bold piece of outerwear itself. It can be easily styled under blazers, sheer tops, or even worn solo, giving it an edgy flair.

For a red carpet look, I believe a corset blouse stands out,” says stylist Teju Kranti. She further emphasises, “I strongly believe your outfit and you should both go hand-in-hand to uplift each other’s beauty.
