5 Ways to Style Corsets As Seen On Celebs
It’s more wearable than you think!
Without a doubt, the corset has definitely come a long way since its 16th-century debut. Originally created to mold the wearer’s body to a (rather unnatural) hourglass figure, we’re happy to say that today’s versions have taken a noticeably different — and more inclusive — direction compared to their predecessors.
For 2021, in particular, you may find the iconic piece taking on the form of shorter tops made from stretchier fabrics, with artistic detailing and playful textures breathing new life to the classical garment. This reimagined version gives a nod to its Victorian origins — sans the need for specialized breathing lessons.
As these new-gen corsets slowly make their way into our wardrobes, take a look at how some of our favorite stars like to wear them:
Bella Hadid
If you’re new to the corset trend, here’s a super wearable option that you can easily take from day to night.
Just like Bella, keep it casual by dressing down a corset with a pair of distressed mom jeans. We also love how she cleverly layers on a shrug for some added coverage whilst keeping the focus on the corset itself. To complete the look, she donned a pair of strappy sandals with some minimal accessories for a comfy yet fashion-forward ensemble.
Cop Bella’s model-off-duty aesthetic:
Hailey Bieber
Looking for a more tailored approach? Try this understated number from Hailey Bieber.
Dressed in some of the season’s most popular hues, Hailey styled her nude corset with a boxy, oversized blazer in a complementary sage color. To streamline the look, she chose a pair of high-waisted white jeans and classic nude pumps, giving her supermodel legs even more added length.

Dua Lipa
This look by Dua Lipa is probably the most laid-back out of the bunch, but is there anyone who doesn’t love a white top and denim shorts combo?
For those hotter-than-hot days, switch up your regular tank with a structured, figure-flattering corset, throw on some denim cutoffs and black trainers, and you’re good to go.
Channel Dua’s girl-next-door vibe:
Jennie Kim
Playing with prints and textures is key to a visually interesting outfit, especially when you’re going the monochrome route like BLACKPINK’s Jennie. Here, she combines her puff-sleeved corset with high-waisted sequined shorts in a similar hue for a sweet yet show-stopping outfit.

Madison Beer
You can never go wrong with an all-black outfit. Show off those shoulders and toned arms just like Madison Beer with a strapless cropped corset. If you’re looking to add some edge to this rather feminine trend piece, try pairing your corset with tougher elements like these baggy cargo pants and Doc Martens.
