Forget the No-Trousers Trend: Ana de Armas Is Making the Case for Bra-First Fashion

Ana de Armas is undeniably a player in Hollywood, but she has become a significant face on the fashion scene, too. The Cuban-Spanish star has nurtured a relationship with Louis Vuitton—she was dressed by Nicolas Ghesquière for both the Oscars and the Golden Globes this year, and she also made a noteworthy appearance at the creative director’s spring 2024 show in Paris.

De Armas is swerving the trouser-free trend that has captivated Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Jodie Turner-Smith and Taylor Russell in recent weeks to pursue a different path towards lingerie dressing—one that puts the emphasis not on your briefs, but on your bra. The No Time to Die star took her spot on Louis Vuitton’s frow wearing a pair of gold sequined trousers with a powder-pink satin bra, which was clearly visible beneath her open brocade shirt.

It comes after Alexa Chung traded a statement bag for a statement bra at Paris Fashion Week, attending the Dior show in a vintage-inspired floral balconette bra and matching high-waisted pants, a diaphanous cardi (open) and skirt not quite covering her modesty.

Arguably an easier way to approach this year’s full throttle approach to lingerie dressing than exposing your knickers, showing up to a party in your bra still requires no small amount of courage —not to mention confidence. Still, this Bond girl managed to make it look like a breeze.
