Would you bare your bra in the name of fashion?

We know there have been some pretty horrible trends of late: crop tops, over-the-knee boots and day-glo fur (thanks, Dolce and Gabbana) to name just a few. But Miuccia Prada seems to be promoting another trend that two brave celebrities tried out at a Prada book launch last Friday.

Chloe Sevigny usually manages to get the balance right between quirkiness and sexiness, but this time her completely open blouse just looks a bit weird. We’re not sure about the length of her skirt either – calf-length skirts are unflattering and nearly impossible to get right.

Zoe Saldana of Star Trek was pictured in a very similar outfit. We think she pulls it off a bit better than Chloe: she’s lost the granny cardigan, her matching skirt and tights combo really lengthen her lower half, and I want her shoes. But you can still see most of her bra.

If young and beautiful female film stars can’t pull this look off, then normal people almost definitely can’t. But does that mean Chloe and Zoe shouldn’t give it a try?

Prada featured crotch-length waders last season, so maybe we should just let them get on with it in catwalk-fashion land, and stick to what we know when dressing ourselves (most of the time, anyway). After all, if they didn’t take the creative risks in the first place, we’d end up having to dress the same all the time.

Would you knowingly show you bra if it was part of a catwalk look? Let us know in the comments.
