If you’ve been dreaming about a way to exude more power, presence and confidence with your fashion choices, the time is now. It’s a new year, why not try incorporating something unexpected, like latex, with your wardrobe for a change?
Whatever your preconceived notions are about latex, it’s time to think twice, because celebrities of all shapes and sizes are flocking to the new trend. From the pages of iD magazine to quick paparazzi shots, fashion models like Kate Moss and #BreakTheInternet queen Kim Kardashian have been rocking latex clothing.
iD magazine, an iconic design magazine based out of the UK, embraced the latex trend wholeheartedly. In celebration of their 30th anniversary in 2010, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell graced the pages with some seriously irresistible Atsuko Kudo latex outfits.
Kate looked stunning with a black cropped bustier, thigh high leggings and matching gloves to give things an aura of mystery. In contrast, Naomi wore an angelic all-white look, featuring a corset top, harness overlay and matching thigh high leggings. Take a cue from Kate Moss and sport a latex bodysuit to your next party. Let your outfit do the talking, and speak volumes without saying a word.
Pirelli snapped famous supermodel Adriana Lima looking sultry in a black latex bra, featured with Gigi Hadid in a skintight bodysuit for their 2015 calendar. Go gutsy and incorporate some of these tough girl pieces into your own wardrobe. Start small by mixing in a harness-style top with subtle accents, or take the plunge and wear your own latex bustier out on the town!
Latex is definitely having a moment, with A-list celebs like Kim Kardashian wearing glamorous creations at nearly every major event. Kim lives by the adage, “If you’ve got it, flaunt it.” And she certainly knows how, flaunting her curves in pencil skirts to floor length gowns.
In one case, Kim keeps things subtle with a black pencil skirt and simple high necked top. Another look exuded a sense of Old Hollywood glamour, featuring Kardashian with a beige latex pencil skirt and classy but cool cut-out detailing at the neck. As winner of GQ’s Women of the Year 2014 award, Kim shined with a barely there corset, covered by a blinged out, bedazzled floor length gown. In one of her most recent looks from December 2014, Kim rocked a light beige Atsuko Kudo dress.
The strapless number looked simply gorgeous on Kardashian, creating beautiful contrast to her dark hair and oozing with a sense of power and perfection. These top models and celebs have cemented the fact that latex is beyond a trend

The iD magazine anniversary shoot you mentioned with Atsuko Kudo pieces still feels iconic, especially how the gloves and thigh highs added that mysterious edge to Kate’s look.
I hadn’t thought about gloves as part of the latex look, but the Kate Moss styling really shows how accessories can amplify that sleek, almost futuristic feel.
The contrast between “tough girl” pieces and Old Hollywood glamour in Kim’s looks shows latex isn’t boxed into one vibe, which makes it more wearable than people assume.
Kim Kardashian’s beige pencil skirt with the cut-out neckline was a great example of how latex can look refined rather than over-the-top, which people don’t always expect.
Interesting point about starting small with a harness-style top before going full latex, that feels way more approachable than jumping straight into a full bodysuit.
Naomi’s angelic white latex ensemble was a surprising highlight, since most people associate latex with darker, edgier tones rather than something so light and structured.
Highlighting different body types and celebrities embracing latex was important, it helps break the stereotype that only a certain figure can pull off these pieces.
The idea that latex is ‘beyond a trend’ makes sense when you look at how consistently it shows up from magazine editorials to red carpet moments.
I appreciated the suggestion to let the outfit do the talking, especially with something like a latex bodysuit that naturally commands attention without extra styling.
Your mention of mixing latex with simpler pieces like a high-neck top makes it feel less intimidating for someone curious but not ready for a full statement outfit.
I liked how you contrasted Kate Moss’s black bustier look with Naomi Campbell’s all-white corset and harness outfit, it really shows how versatile latex can be across completely different aesthetics.
Kim’s strapless Atsuko Kudo dress paired with her dark hair was a great example of how color contrast can elevate latex beyond just being a bold material choice.
The Pirelli calendar reference with Adriana Lima and Gigi Hadid really drives home how mainstream latex has become in high fashion editorials.
