The corset returns – here’s how celebrities are wearing them

16 November 2016

We say return but really we mean return again

Because the corset has been around for a while now. Since the 1500s, in fact. Of course, there have been some major improvements since then – they are no longer made with reeds or whalebone for a start! And these days they are worn with sweaters and band tees that don’t threaten the wearer’s health. Yeah, we like them much better this side of the start of feminism.

There are a few celebrities who have embraced full-on corsets and in doing so, have made them fully cool again. Here’s some of our favourites.
