A daring and provocative new fashion trend has emerged, captivating audiences as social media influencers and stars turn heads by adorning their chests with the alluring “melting top” breastplate.
Social media celebrities and trendsetters have recently captivated audiences by embracing a bold and provocative fashion statement, known as the “melting top” breastplate. This eye-catching design gives the appearance of molten metal cooling on the wearer’s chest, covering the breasts and nipples, and has been turning heads at events like Coachella and other star-studded gatherings.
Priced around $500, these striking Drip Breastplates are produced by the American brand Jacque Label and have been sported by US influencers such as Lele Pons and Hannah Stocking, both boasting millions of social media followers. The pair showcased the unique breastplates on the first two days of the California music festival, proudly displaying their avant-garde attire for all to witness.
The eye-catching trend, seen as a symbol of female empowerment, has garnered the attention of various celebrities, including singer Ellie Goulding and actress Zendaya. Fellow festival attendee and social media content creator Michaela also embraced the fashionable breastplates. Stylist Rochelle White, who spoke candidly with British company FEMAIL, remarked, “Coachella is a place to be free and creative with fashion and looks, so it makes sense that the melting breastplate is very popular there.”
As White anticipates this daring fashion trend will continue to gain popularity globally, she predicts a surge in sightings during the upcoming UK summer festival season. However, reactions to the trend have been mixed, as evidenced by the wide-ranging comments received in a Daily Mail article about the Drip Breastplates.
“say this as a feminist. Women need to stop wearing clothes that objectify them. These women rely solely on sexualizing themselves in order to get attention. We have to stop. Dress for comfort and dignity. Respect yourself, and others will respect you.”
While some commenters argue that the attention-grabbing attire objectifies women and goes against the notion of female empowerment, others view the trend as a lighthearted, creative expression of fashion.
“They flaunt themselves under the guise of empowerment when all it’s doing is degrading themselves. There are so many at it these days that the respect for women as a whole is being lost completely.”
“It’s not female empowerment. That’s just what they say because they don’t want to sound shallow by admitting it’s them just trying to be sexy for strangers.”
“I love fashion; it’s one of the few things that gives me a good laugh; women are like sheep. One try’s something, then the rest follow.”
“They look uncomfortable to wear and so unattractive, and unless you have had plastic surgery, boob shapes can be so unattractive. So sorry they don’t get my vote. I think they look ridiculous.”
Regardless of the differing opinions, one thing is clear: the melting top breastplate is making waves in the world of fashion and sparking conversations about self-expression, empowerment, and individuality.
