From romantic drama to power tailoring, corsets are fashion’s biggest story right now
Margot Robbie, Priyanka Chopra And Disha Patani Make Corsets The Coolest 2026 Trend You Need To Copy
Fashion loves a cinched waist and nothing makes it hotter than a corset! Once associated with rigid Victorian silhouettes and historical drama, corsets are now being styled with everything from oversized tailoring to saree drapes. Instead of restriction, corsets are now about structure and contrast.
Layering now is the new language of corsetry and celebrities are speaking it fluently.
Margot Robbie’s Corset Streak For Wuthering Heights
Margot Robbie’s antique-inspired corset streak while promoting Wuthering Heights reminded everyone just how diverse and beautiful the silhouette can be. Think velvet bodices, lace skirts and just enough gothic romance to feel theatrical.
The styling trick here is commitment. If you’re leaning romantic, lean fully. Flowing lace, cross pendants, opera gloves. Drama is the point here. If romance feels like too much, contrast is your best friend.
The sharpest styling move of the moment? Layering a corset over oversized tailoring. Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner nailed this formula, and you can go any way with it! Sculpted waist over broad shoulders, fitted structure against relaxed trousers.
Priyanka Chopra Proves Corsets Can Tell A Story
At The Bluff premiere, Priyanka Chopra showed how corsets can go beyond style and into storytelling.
Her structured leather corset bodice was sculpted like armour, complete with panel stitching and embossed detailing linked to her character. Strength, symbolism and silhouette all built into one garment. The softness came from contrast: a fluid draped skirt, high slit and sweeping train. Sharp structure above, movement below.
Disha Patani And Ananya Panday Make Corsets Cultural
Disha Patani took to Instagram to share a series of pictures from her recent corset outing. She paired the post with the song Aashiqon Ki Colony from O’Romeo. The post quickly grabbed attention, with fans praising her bold styling and the dramatic interpretation of the saree. The pre-draped saree featured a corset-style blouse that sculpted Disha’s silhouette with precision, adding structure and definition to the look. While the corset introduced a modern, almost architectural edge, the fluid drape of the saree brought in softness and elegance.
Ananya Panday’s corset moment proves the trend isn’t just Western revival. Her Patola-inspired beaded corset paired with a Bandhani saree skirt fused traditional textile heritage with sculpted modern structure.
How Do You Wear A Corset In 2026?
The new corset rule is simple: never style it predictably.
Wear it with:
