The bra as outerwear trend can be traced all the way back to Jean Paul Gaultier’s conical bra—famously worn by Madonna during her Blonde Ambition world tour in 1990. Fast forward to today, and the bra is having another major moment, from Miu Miu’s bullet style on the runway to the hordes of New York girls putting their lingerie on show this summer.
One modern-day star who’s on board with the trend? Margot Robbie, who wore an archival blush pink bra with matching pencil skirt from Thierry Mugler’s fall winter winter 1998 collection—entitled Lingerie Revisited—for the London photocall of her new film, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.
Of course, it’s not the first time that the actor has worn the bra as a fashion statement. While promoting the Barbie movie in 2023, Robbie sported a pink gingham bustier top paired with a matching miniskirt by Prada, while at the Chanel Cruise show in Los Angeles that same year, she teamed a black triangle bra with flared jeans, layered with an embellished waistcoat over the top. The bustier was the perfect amalgamation of Ms. Barbie’s and Margot Robbie’s sartorial vibes.
As we head into fall, it remains to be seen whether the bra will be just as ubiquitous on the leaf-strewn sidewalks as it has been this summer. Over on the red carpet, though, expect to see plenty more bullet bras coming your way as we head into awards season.
