Inflated bubble silhouettes have returned to prominence on runways at Jacquemus, Helmut Lang, and Christian Siriano and have been adopted by celebrities such as Zendaya, Sabrina Carpenter, Ayo Edebiri, and Kylie Jenner. The look has evolved from chaotic early-aughts versions into sleeker, monochromatic iterations. Elsa Hosk showcased the trend in a teeny ruched bralette and a high-waist voluminous miniskirt by Alaïa, with price tags of $850 and $2,090. Hosk accessorized with thong sandals and a net-style Prada macramé bag priced at $2,100, reinforcing designer and celebrity momentum behind the revival.
If you, too, rocked the poofed-up look in the early aughts and have been itching to dust off your fave pieces since, now's the time to strut in your gumdrop styles. The inflated silhouette slowly slithered back onto the runways last year, particularly at Jacquemus, Helmut Lang, and Christian Siriano. Fashion's chicest savants quickly took notice, with the likes of Zendaya, Sabrina Carpenter, and Ayo Edebiri rocking the whimsical look.
On a trip to the beach, Hosk dressed the breezy part in a teeny ruched bralette, which also gave hints of bubble, and a high-waist, voluminous miniskirt. Unlike the chaotic stylings of yore, Hosk's monochromatic take on the bubble was refreshingly sophisticated and sleek. It was also hella pricey. Designed by Alaïa - yet another sign pointing to the bubble's impending renaissance - the bra goes for $850, while the skirt costs $2,090.
