At the 2025 Met Gala, Vogue announced the return of the bust—a trend that defined the year as plunging necklines, showcasing both natural and augmented cleavage, became a red carpet staple. Now, 2026 appears to be shifting focus toward a different kind of reveal.
Since Alexander McQueen’s spring 1995 collection debuted the bumster, the look that bares the derrière has made multiple comebacks—most notably again in McQueen’s spring 2026 collection under Seán McGirr. Model Alex Consani walked the runway in ruffled red lace trousers, with the backside pushed over the leather waistband much like breasts in a push-up bra.
Celebrities have also been experimenting with the style. At the 2024 Met Gala, Kendall Jenner chose an unworn archival Givenchy dress originally designed by Alexander McQueen, featuring a low-slung mesh panel across the hips that offered a subtle hint of skin.
Others embraced it more fully in 2025. At the Vanity Fair Oscars party, Zoë Kravitz wore a custom black Saint Laurent dress with a sheer, rhinestone-dotted back panel that put her rear on display. Her friend Hailey Bieber followed at the 2025 GQ Man of the Year Awards in a sheer beaded dress, complete with a Y2K-inspired whale tail detail.
With McQueen reviving the bumster and celebrities daring to bare, one question emerges: Is 2026 set to be the year of the backless reveal?
