Outfits often go down in history, but it's rare that lingerie turns out to be famous, in particular when there's no wardrobe malfunction involved.
There's no getting away from it - And that's precisely the message that our clothing is sending out into the world. If truth be told, then the only way we could make it clearer is if we were holding a flashing arrow pointing at our chest. It's not that we are stepping around the streets exposing the sort of cleavage that made Eva Herzigova so voluptuous that her Wonderbra ad stopped traffic.
But it's what these gorgeous babes are wearing underneath it that's causing something of a stir. After all, the idea of a conical bra means one thing and one thing only: THAT outfit. Let's take a look at the celebrities who have pioneered the benefits of the bra.
Kangana RanautPushing the envelope, girl! In Revolver Rani, Kangana Ranaut has a violent fight sequence where she will expose her wacky lingerie. Gavin Miguel, Designer is responsible of her attire. Quite recognized for his unconventional designs, Gavin has confirmed that he has taken an inspiration from Madonna's legendary cone-shaped brassiere from the 90s. Kangana sported a conical bra similar to the one popularized by pop diva Madonna, in the Bollywood movie.
She rips off her white shirt to reveal a sequined silver bra in her sexy seduction scenes in the film 'Boom'. Well, the scene not only had witnessed Katrina Kaif wearing diamond-marked bra, but also an extreme bold sequence with co-actor Gulshan Grover. Well, can someone pass Ranbir the smelling salts?
Princess Leia's metal bikini is an illusory slave dress worn by actress Carrie Fisher in the 1983 film Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Though only featured in two scenes, the outfit has since turn out to be an iconic sex symbol and is time and again imitated by female fans at Star Wars Celebrations. The metal bikini worn by Carrie Fisher in the first Act of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi was inspired by Fisher's criticisms that the loose-fitting attires she wore in the Star Wars covered her feminine physique.
Not many have the courage to wear a cone bra, and in public in fact. However, the courageous Lady Gaga have taken the jump. You can assume Lady Gaga dresses for impact rather than comfort and we can tell that, what an impact she makes. Her newest getup was half Gwen Stefani, half Madonna as she visited Heathrow Airport in a black cone bra, tight black skirt, a head scarf, big sunnies and a matching escort.
Madonna's album Like A Prayer made waves in 1990 in the company of its racy Catholic imagery and unconcealed sexuality. However, while few people keep in mind the rest of the tracks on that album, every Madonna fan remembers the conical bra she wore to promote it on her Blonde Ambition Tour. That bra and corset have turn out to be a symbolic of the singer as well as the designer who made it, Jean Paul Gaultier.
They stunned a generation and sent millions of men weak at the knees. Now, Czech model Eva Herzigova's traffic-stopping billboard for Wonderbra has been announced as the most striking advert of the last few decades. The image, part of the lingerie company's 'Hello Boys' campaign, featured a huge photo of Eva's cleavage. The advertisement sparked a sensation when it was launched in 1994 and was blamed for stopping traffic and causing accidents as commuters stared at the huge roadside posters.
Also jumping on said novelty-bra bandwagon is one Katy Perry. Always one for daring show outfits, Katy has moved on from her surreal cupcake bra phase and onto her, film reels. Yes, you read it right! Performing at a mini concert in Hollywood, she sported a conical bra crafted from what we can only assume is plastic, crafted ingeniously into the shape of rolls of film, and also pairing it with a popcorn skirt. Well, it's totally genius!
