Yahoo Lifestyle Addison Rae’s Conical Bra Top Features XXL Cups That Channel Madonna
It was just three short months ago that Addison Rae took to Instagram to share a photo of herself wearing a conical bra top, instantly drawing comparisons to Madonna in the process. The garment is so closely associated with the singer after she donned a custom Jean Paul Gaultier pink satin bodysuit featuring a cone bra during her 1990 Blond Ambition tour.
Fast-forward to today—well, technically yesterday (August 8)—and the TikTok influencer-turned-artist has *again* channeled Madonna. This time, by sporting a dusty pink ruched crop top with conical bra cups that extended far from her chest to attend the Variety Power of Young Hollywood event. The design is from the Jean Paul Gaultier x Lotta Volkova collaboration, which was released in May 2022 and saw the Russian stylist (famed for her work with Miu Miu, Balenciaga, and Vetements) reimage signature JPG archival pieces.
Including Addison's cone bra top.
Addison paired the top with high-waist velvet trousers in a complimentary merlot hue and matching patent peep-toe heeled mules. As for accessories? She skipped out on those and instead let her top take center stage.
Despite Madonna being considered the official poster girl of the look, Gaultier had been experimenting with cone bras and corsets in his work for years prior after being inspired by the bullet bras worn by Hollywood stars in the '40s and '50s to create an exaggerated feminine silhouette. His September 1984 show saw one of the fashion designer's early iterations of the style, sending a model down the runway in a velvet orange dress featuring wrapped extra-long conical cups similar to those on Addison's top.
It's not quite the celebs wearing vintage trend, but there's no denying Addison's look is vintage-inspired. That's worth an A for effort in our book!
