Could There Possibly Be a Whole New Way to Think About Our Breasts?
Elsewhere, subtler investigations have been taking place. The young designer Nensi Dojaka has made a name for herself in recent years with her lingerie-inspired tops and dresses, which can look as though delicate bralettes and underwire have been placed on the exterior of the garment. 'This interplay speaks to a contrast between presence and absence. It's a visual and tactile duality that only structures like corsets and boning can embody,' she told me. At the fall 2025 Valentino show, a public bathroom was the perfect stage for a collection that played with secrecy and revelation: a shimmering satin bra and high-waist underwear represented a thrilling confluence of fit and unfit for the public gaze. Most striking was a full-length see-through gown worn with a playfully baby-girl pink satin skirt. The model, an older woman with white hair loosely pulled back, reminded me how rare it is to see exposed breasts once they have passed a certain age.

PHoto: WWD/Getty Images 'In the '80s and before that, undergarments were very specifically not to be seen,' says fashion historian Natalie Nudell. 'Historically, it was really seen as not proper.' Since the fall of Roe v. Wade, she notes, there has been a lot of backlash against female and sexual empowerment. However, 'women's fashion has almost become more sexualized, but in a way that's not necessarily looking toward the male gaze.' All this is taking place against a confusing and sometimes contradictory cultural backdrop. On the one hand, there is the cleavage-friendly 'boom boom' aesthetic ascendant in conservative circles, far from the modest, matronly twinsets and bouclé knits worn by foremothers like Phyllis Schlafly. On the other side, there's a movement toward the small and subtle. Breast reductions have increased by about 65 percent since 2019, and those who are seeking augmentation are no longer necessarily looking to go bigger. 'The trend currently is for smaller boobs—I've heard them called yoga boobs, ballet-body boobs—and for removal of breast implants' says plastic surgeon Niki Christopoulos, MD. It's no surprise the trend is being given monikers related to fitness. More women are actively invested in athleticism than they once were, and what some are now seeking is aligned with that aim. 'Media trends back in the '90s were toward a fuller chest,' Lyle Leipziger, MD, a plastic surgeon for over 25 years, told me. 'Now there's a trend toward staying in shape, to exercising—and there are also all the semaglutide medications.' In this context, increased interest in smaller breasts may be less about ease of movement or rejecting an assumed male preference and more part of a revived fixation on thinness.

Dakota Johnson Wears a Completely transparent Skirt Set for a Late-Night Appearance in NYC
Dakota Johnson turned heads in New York City yesterday, wearing a transparent two-piece look while en route to Late Night with Seth Meyers. The actress was photographed leaving the Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca in a black tulle top and matching midi skirt by Albanian designer Nensi Dojaka, layered over a brown strapless bodysuit. She styled the look with pointed black slingback pumps, gold hoop earrings, and black angular sunglasses. Her Gucci Jackie 1961 shoulder bag in brown complemented the neutral tones of the ensemble. The outfit, styled by Kate Young, was one of several transparent looks Johnson has worn this week while promoting her upcoming film Materialists, directed by Past Lives filmmaker Celine Song. On May 30, the actress was spotted wearing a transparent black bodysuit by Commando, paired with a suede Khaite jacket and gold-framed oval sunglasses. This is just the latest in Johnson's standout press tour style streak. At Cannes last month, she wore a series of outstanding looks, including a semi-sheer Saint Laurent slip dress and a bubble-gum-pink fringe Gucci gown. She also made headlines earlier this week for wearing a plunging blazer minidress during her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon—which she jokingly covered up with tissues mid-interview. The Madame Web star's appearance came just one day after reports surfaced that she and longtime partner Chris Martin had ended their relationship. The breakup news followed a public shout-out from Martin, who told a Coldplay concert crowd on June 1, 'Don't forget to go see Materialists,' in a fan's clip shared on social media. The film, which stars Johnson alongside Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, is set to be released June 13. Neither Johnson nor Martin has commented publicly on the split, though sources told People that it 'feels final this time.'
