From Sam Smith to Maya Jama, See the Daring Celebs in Latex Fashion
Some trends come and go, while others stand the test of time, and celebrities in latex fashion is firmly in the latter category. The risqué trend offers a high-shine, super-sleek look that celebrities return to time and time again. Recently, we've seen Maya Jama step out with Stormzy in a latex co-ord, AJ Odudu rock a bespoke luxury latex catsuit at the premiere of "Big Brother" and Nicola Coughlan wow in a custom-made Christopher Kane dress earlier this year. And who can forget Sam Smith winning the 2023 Brits red carpet in that inflatable suit?
While latex has been a feature in high-fashion campaigns and worn among the A-list for years, it also has connotations with fetishism. Therefore, celebrities in latex combine both style and sex appeal when repping the trend. Latex is also a more sustainable option than its sister fabric, PVC. Made from the sap of trees, the natural rubber material makes it a more environmentally-friendly alternative to the plastic aesthetic.
