MUMBAI: Corsets have become an integral part of the fashion word.
Let’s take a quick trip back to 1600 BC. Around this time, the corset started out as a sleeveless bodice that evolved into an undergarment with stays made of whalebone and steel that encircled the ribs in order to compress the natural waist. Why would someone ever agree to squeeze themselves between a sleeve of metal you may ask? Two words - body image.
For years, the corset garment has been tied to controversy. Emerging from the Western world in the early 16th century, the tight fitting undergarment wasn’t always the harmless regency style trend as we know it today. They have evolved over time and, with modern trends taking over the fashion industry, corsets have also been reworked with modern twists.
No longer just support garments, corsets have become more of a fashion statement. From belts to over-the-bust pieces, there are many ways to style this piece how you like it.

Corsets are a great way to emphasize your waist and to give structure to your outfit. Today, let us take a look at celebrities from the Bollywood and television fraternity as they inspire us to try this trend…
Take a look at the Telly and Bolly actresses like Erica Fernandes, Amyra Dastur, Katrina Kaif, Riddhi Dogra, Surbhi Chandna, Alia Bhatt, Ankita Lokhande, Shibani Dandekar, Mouni Roy, Sriti Jha, Kareena Kapoor and
Gauahar Khan, who are acing their corset look:
Telly actress Erica Fernandes is looking super charming in this all-white corset dress with cute and ting pastel-floral motif embroideries stitched on it's upper part.
Amyra Dastur comes with a bold and powerful look in this bold-blue coloured corset with pink prints. Her corset's imparting an overwhelming vibe on the actress.
Katrina Kaif endorsed this golden corset in the movie Dhoom 3. This corset imparted a 'royal Greek armour'-ish vibe with her entire ensemble.
Ridhi's white corset clearly is a meshwork of loosely-knitted net-like fabric. Her overall look is a subtly-trippy and feminine one.
Surbhi looks like a vibe herself in this neon-green closely-knitted net's corset dress, owing to that 'vibrant' shade of green. The layered-ruffles below add the feminine drama.
Alia Bhatt looks totally charismatic in this top-nude bottom-black corset. The colour variation and transition from top to bottom is well-balanced.
Actress Ankita Lokhande has put on a very fancy grey-based corset with 3D floral embellishments in shades of pink, purple and green (for the leaves), that have been stitched over it.
Shibani Dandekar looks super-feisty in this white and black corset ensemble that's layered in sheer fabrics, thus, giving a pretty mysterious vibe to her look.
Mouni Roy's simplistic yet classic grey corset with fancy white prints in a bordered and chequered pattern is definitely summer-friendly.
Sriti Jha totally looks like a princess in this sequence-studded royal-blue corset dress, that's also made of sheer.
Talking about the 'bold n black-beauty' vibe, actress Kareena Kapoor is definitely killing the look in this firm pitch-black corset. However, her fiery red-lips are definitely stealing the show here.
Lastly, Gauahar Khan's all about jovial charms in this lovely designed white corset in three different materials.
