At the 2025 Met Gala, Vogue<\/em> declared that boobs are back<\/a>\u2014a truth that would resonate throughout the year, as heaving bosoms (both natural and man-made) appeared on red carpets everywhere. Now, 2026 is shaping up to prioritize a different kind of cleavage.<\/p>\n

After Alexander McQueen\u2019s spring 1995 collection introduced the bumster, the derri\u00e8re-baring look has enjoyed several resurgences\u2014most recently in McQueen\u2019s spring 2026 collection by Se\u00e1n McGirr. Alex Consani sauntered down the runway in a pair of ruffled red lace trousers, her bottom pushed over the top of the leather waistband like a pair of breasts in a pushup bra.<\/p>\n

Celebrities are experimenting with the look too. At the 2024 Met Gala<\/a>, Kendall Jenner opted for a never-worn archival Givenchy dress by Alexander McQueen (who else?), a sliver of mesh slung low across Jenner\u2019s hips offering just the slightest glimpse of her backside.<\/p>\n

Others took it further in 2025. At the Vanity Fair<\/em> Oscars party, Zo\u00eb Kravitz hit the carpet in a custom black Saint Laurent dress complete with a sheer rhinestone-dotted back panel that showed off her rear end. Kravitz\u2019s friend Hailey Bieber followed suit at the 2025 GQ Man of the Year Awards, opting for a noughties-inspired whale tail emerging from her sheer beaded dress.<\/p>\n
