A Brief History of Pop’s Biggest Bra Moments

Jun 22, 2010 @ 11:15 am

So far, it’s been a very big year for what we here at InStyle.com like to call “the statement bra.” Everyone from Rihanna to Lady Gaga has recently donned at least one of the attention-getting garments—not-so-intimates for which support seems almost entirely beside the point. “California Gurls” singer Katy Perry is a particular proponent of the pop-star-friendly trend—she appeared at Canada’s MuchMusic Video Awards in this sparkling pink number on Sunday—but we’ve done a little digging and found that female musicians have been working the underwear-as-outerwear thing since way before the 25-year-old was born. Click on the gallery to see a brief history of pop’s biggest bra moments.

Stars Remember Alexander McQueen

Feb 12, 2010 @ 11:00 am

After the news broke of Alexander McQueen’s death, the designer’s celebrity friends and fans spoke out. “He was talented well beyond his years,” said Sarah Jessica Parker(at left with McQueen at the Met’s Costume Institute gala in 2006) in a statement. “There has never been anyone like him. And there simply never will be.” Victoria Beckham also expressed her grief: “He made all he touched beautiful and will be desperately missed.” Some stars jumped on Twitter to share their memories. “Alexander invited me to my very 1st fashion show (his in London),” tweeted Janet Jackson. “We lost a True Genius.”
