Oh my gosh, look at her butt! There’s always a debate on how much skin a woman should show in public. And recently, there have been conversations and criticism around the practice of female celebrities flashing their butts while posing on the red carpet, be it a movie premiere or MET Gala. These outfit decisions frequently challenge the notion of traditional clothing, whether it’s through bold cuts, transparent materials, or well-placed slashes by high-end labels. While some praise the stars’ risk and confidence, others view the trend as unprofessional or attention-seeking.
A practice that leads to a gross amount of slut shaming. Whatever one’s thoughts, there’s no denying that these audacious fashion choices give the glitzy realm of celebrity red-carpet events a provocative edge that leaves headlines and discussions lingering long after the event. Most of them are shamed due to a complex interplay of societal norms, values, and perceptions of modesty. Some critics argue that such attire goes against traditional standards of decency or sets a bad example, especially for younger audiences. Others may feel discomfort or jealousy towards celebrities’ bodies or perceived flaunting of wealth and privilege.
Additionally, in a culture where public figures are constantly scrutinised, any deviation from perceived norms can spark controversy and criticism, often amplified by social media platforms. Ultimately, it reflects broader debates about freedom of expression, individuality, and the role of celebrities as public figures. The debate keeps going on but as fashion fellows, we can’t deny how cool they look because no matter what you wear people are going to sexualise you so just do your thing.
Here are some of our favourite butt-baring looks:
Anya Taylor Joy in Mugler
Taylor-Joy wore a striking red leather minidress from Mugler’s fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection for her late-night outing. The remarkable ensemble included a complete short sleeve on one shoulder and draped fabric on the other, with structural fabric adorning the skirt and bodice. But the most remarkable detail of Taylor-Joy’s outfit was on the butt.
Dua Lipa in Marc Jacobs
The Dance the Night singer donned a cream corset bodysuit with a black lace overlay and a covering that was thoughtfully put over her front at the MET Gala this year. Lipa took a riskier approach by donning a translucent, curve-hugging V-cut skirt embellished with sequined garden patterns covering her butt instead of a skirt with a long train.
Kendall Jenner in Givenchy
Kendall was dressed in a black gown composed of sheer, glittering material at this year’s MET Gala. The look had mesh panels in the style of a V cut that ran over the butt. The plunging neckline was adorned with a sparkling gold spiked collar. A row of waist-length gold fringe adorned each shoulder, bouncing as Jenner ascended the steps. She completed the look with a variety of Lorraine Schwartz pieces to finish the look.
Anitta in Mugler
With cutouts highlighting her butt, the Brazilian singer, 29, looked stunning on the red carpet in a bespoke Mugler black-and-white sequin gown with a mermaid form that evoked a “party in the back” vibe. She also opted for the one and only Tiffany & Co. for her exquisite accessories.
Katy Perry in Ellie Misner
Katy Perry made an appearance at the Billboard Women in Music event sporting an Ellie Misner skirt and a cherry red top that revealed her butt corset.
Julia Fox in Alejandre
In this incredibly daring outfit, Julia Fox was spotted on the streets of New York. The Uncut Gems actress showed off her butt in a deconstructed blazer look by Alejandre while heading to dinner at the Mercer Hotel. She was wearing a tie-front crop top by Alejandre with a wide cutout in the centre.
