Maya Jama, Kim Kardashian and Florence Pugh prove corsets are making a comeback & stars aren’t afraid to show them off
GIRDLE your loins, ladies – corsets are on the rise.
This week Anya Taylor-Joy shared a photo on Instagram of what was underneath her black and gold gown at the New York premiere for her upcoming sci-fi flick Dune: Part Two.
The 27-year-old actress was wearing a waist-cinching corset that looked like more like a torture device as it bowed her frame over her hips while she held onto her bust.
Some of her followers claimed Anya was “promoting starvation”, and one commented: “What a terrible, terrible thing to do to yourself or share with others, as an influencer.”
But she isn’t the only celebrity who is getting waisted — corsets are the next big thin.
Other stars have used Victorian-style corsetry to fit into a frock.
Love Island presenter Maya Jama shared images of her wearing a structured bodice, while Kim Kardashian has been very honest about pouring her famous curves into corsets for big occasions.
And the trend doesn’t stop at lingerie.
A-list screen star Florence Pugh flaunted the look as outerwear on the red carpet, and fans of pop megastar Taylor Swift saw her wearing a corset as she cheered on boyfriend Travis Kelce at the Super Bowl.
Here, we reveal the stars who are wearing the bustier best.
SOFIA VERGARA
AT 51 Sofia Vergara looks incredible in her black leather skirt and lace bodice this month.
The actress is worlds away from her role in Netflix’s Griselda and for the better.
FLORENCE PUGH
THE British actress often goes braless on the red carpet, but for this year’s Baftas she wore her underwear as outerwear.
Florence, 28, didn’t go to the extreme lengths that other celebs do, but does it look as good? Of corset does.
OLIVIA ATTWOOD
LOOSE Women panellist Olivia opted for a lace corset-style top when she hit the streets of London in January.
The 32-year-old presenter and former Love Island star wowed in the sheer bodice and kept things comfy on the bottom with black baggy jeans. Atta, girl.
KIM KARDASHIAN
THE reality TV star is always trying to steal the limelight – and the 2019 Met Gala was no exception.
Kim, 43, cinched the deal for the most talked-about look when she wore a custom-boned corset underneath her wet- T-shirt-style dress by Thierry Mugler.
MAYA JAMA
MY oh Maya, the presenter caused a Stormz when she wowed in this sexy gown to this year’s London Fashion Week.
The 29-year-old, who poured herself into another corset yesterday and showed off the results on Instagram, showcased her incredible curves in the futuristic LBD look.
RIHANNA
SHE already has her own lingerie brand – so it’s no surprise that the pop superstar has tried the corset look.
Rihanna, 36, wore a fuchsia number with jeans and a cap in California earlier this year.
It just goes to show a corset can look Rih-lly good at any occasion.
ANYA TAYLOR-JOY
IT’S probably Taylor-made, but hardly looks a Joy to wear.
Anya doesn’t need to go to extreme lengths to get an hourglass figure when she already has a tiny frame – but still she squeezed herself into this extreme number for the red carpet and posted the picture on Instagram.
MEGAN FOX
MEGAN could have looked Fox-y when she wore a leather girdle and latex leggings as she accompanied fiance Machine Gun Kelly at a Super Bowl party this month.
But the 37-year-old actress’s addition of spikes spoilt her look. What a waist.

EKIN-SU CULCULOGLU
THE former Love Island winner wowed in a two-piece at the premiere of action comedy flick Argylle in London at the beginning of the year.
Ekin-Su, 29, braved the freezing temperatures in a white waspie that added extra oomph to her bust.
