Corsetry is no longer reserved for historical reenactments, Bridgerton fantasies, or Madonna’s vintage tour wardrobe. It’s back. And this time, it’s not just for the red carpet or the runway – it’s for real life, real curves, and real moments that matter. Whether you’re Kim Kardashian strutting through the canals of Venice or Lauren Sánchez saying “I do” in front of the richest man on Earth, Dolce & Gabbana are putting women back in control of their silhouettes.
This isn’t shapewear. This is powerwear.
Dolce & Gabbana – the unapologetic kings of lace, leather, and Mediterranean seduction – are redefining the modern corset. And if you’ve been watching closely, you’d know they never really left it behind. In their world, corsetry isn’t about restriction. It’s about sculpture. It’s about honouring the female form, not flattening it.
Kim Kardashian in Venice: Sidewalk Becomes Catwalk
Kim didn’t just walk through Venice; she claimed it like a queen in a corset. Draped in lace, bones cinched, and cleavage served like a Venetian feast, she turned cobbled streets into a personal runway. She wasn’t alone. D&G orchestrated a full couture invasion of Venice with their Alta Moda shows, and corsetry took centre stage. These weren’t bodices from your grandmother’s attic – they were breathing, laced declarations of seduction and strength.
The Venice vibe? Think 18th-century courtesan meets 21st-century mogul.
Kim’s curves were carved, elevated, and flaunted. Not because she had to, but because the corset gave her permission to own the street. No apologies. No filters. Just unapologetic glamour.
Lauren Sánchez: From Helicopters to Haute Couture
Let’s talk about the wedding of the year. Or maybe the decade.
Lauren Sánchez married Jeff Bezos wearing a custom Dolce & Gabbana masterpiece that could only be described as Italian aristocracy meets modern-day goddess. White lace. Sweetheart neckline. Cinched waist. A silhouette so sculpted it whispered of old Hollywood, but with that unmistakable D&G seduction woven through every seam.
What made this dress a true showstopper? The corsetry. That bodice wasn’t just holding her in. It was holding everyone else’s attention.
No floating tulle. No “boho chic.” No fake ease. This was a dress that took hours of craftsmanship, fittings, and design to turn a woman into an icon. A billionaire’s bride doesn’t wear fast fashion. She wears art. She wears something that reminds the world: money can’t buy class, but it can buy couture.
And Lauren chose the best in the business. The boys from Dolce & Gabbana have been dressing the rich, famous, and fearless for decades. They know how to build a corset that whispers confidence and screams sex appeal. Why did Lauren choose them? Because nothing else would do.
Corsets: From the Bedroom to the Altar
Let’s get one thing straight. Corsetry isn’t just for wedding days or gala nights. D&G’s magic lies in making corsets wearable, seductive, and celebratory. A corset can take you from the bedroom to brunch, if styled correctly.
Their lingerie-inspired looks blur the lines between boudoir and streetwear. Slip a black lace corset over a crisp white shirt, and suddenly you’re the CEO of seduction. Layer it with a blazer and walk into any room like you own it. Because you do.
What Dolce & Gabbana understand better than anyone is that corsetry is intimate. It wraps around your torso like an embrace. It lifts your bust, defines your waist, and commands attention. It’s sensual, yes. But also symbolic. It’s a love letter to the female body.
From the Heart to the Hands: Rome’s Fashion Cathedral
At Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, the exhibition From the Heart to the Hands celebrates this very philosophy. Walking through the rooms filled with D&G corsetry masterpieces is like entering Italy’s fashion Sistine Chapel. Gold-threaded bodices, embroidered bustiers, and lace so delicate it floats.
You see the technique. The hand-stitching. The heritage. This isn’t fast fashion churned out by machines. This is fashion built by artisans with calloused fingers and passionate hearts. Corsetry here is treated like sculpture. The mannequin becomes muse. Every line, every curve is celebrated, not hidden.
There’s a reason visitors to this exhibit – young, old, tourist, local – stand in awe. They laugh, smile, and even gasp. They feel something. That’s the power of D&G corsetry.
Why It Matters Now
In a world obsessed with comfort and oversized everything, choosing a corset is an act of rebellion. It says: I don’t dress for convenience. I dress for the drama.
And drama is what D&G do best.
They understand that women want to feel special. That we want to wear something that transforms us. Whether it’s a lace-trimmed corset for a date night, or a gold-beaded bridal bustier that takes 400 hours to complete – the message is the same: You are worthy of being seen.
Dolce & Gabbana corsets are not about hiding flaws. They’re about celebrating form. They’re about honouring our curves, not cursing them. They’re designed to lift more than just busts – they lift confidence, spirits, and entire rooms.
For the Everyday Icon
You don’t need to marry a billionaire to wear a corset. You don’t need to strut through Venice with paparazzi on your heels. A corset can be your daily armour. Your secret confidence. That one piece in your wardrobe that never fails to deliver.
Wear it under a dress. Over a t-shirt. With jeans. With a silk skirt. The options are endless, and Dolce & Gabbana want you to feel like royalty, even when you’re just walking your dog or sipping espresso on a Monday morning.
Because when you cinch your waist, lift your posture, and own your walk – the world sees you differently. And more importantly, you feel different.
Corsetry is not a trend. It’s a resurrection
From Kim in Venice to Lauren at the altar, the D&G boys are proving that the corset is back, and it’s not going anywhere. It’s bolder, sexier, and more powerful than ever. And in their hands, it’s also art.
So next time you’re getting dressed, ask yourself: Am I blending in? Or am I building a legacy with lace and boning?
Because corsets aren’t just clothes. They’re declarations. And no one declares it better than Dolce & Gabbana.
