Rise of the veavage: how one look came to rule the red carpet
"This new term for a deep, V-shaped cleavage plumbed new depths this weekend at the SAG awards. As seen on (deep breath) Kristen Bell, Jenna Ortega, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Paulson, Odessa A'zion and Lauren Miller, this neck-to-navel style appeared on wafer-thin tops and second-skin dresses."
"The great thing about this trend is that you don't need boobs to do it. In fact, it's better without. Or a bra. Nipple tape, which is worn to stop nipples sticking out in frigid temperatures, is probably useful but otherwise you could see it as a cost-saving exercise a way of using up less fabric."
"These are weird times for cleavage. Criticise its existence and you look like a prude, show too much and you are on the wrong side of history. Take Lauren Sanchez, who turned up to Donald Trump's inauguration in January 2025 in an ice-blue skirt suit open so low as to reveal not only her cleavage but the bra-top that contained it."
The veavage trend represents a new fashion phenomenon characterized by extreme V-shaped necklines that extend from the neck down the torso. This style has become increasingly visible on red carpets, particularly at the SAG Awards, worn by numerous high-profile celebrities in wafer-thin tops and form-fitting dresses. The trend is notable because it requires minimal fabric and doesn't necessarily require traditional undergarments like bras. The veavage differs from traditional cleavage in its dramatic depth and technical precision. Fashion commentators note this represents a complex moment for discussions around women's bodies and fashion, where the trend exists in a gray area between celebration and controversy.
