This is Karl Lagerfeld's new type of illusion dress, which premiered in a fashion show in January. Optical illusion dresses have been around for years. However, the trend has not been taken to this extreme until now.
On Rihanna, it does not seem as shocking. The fanny pack and accessories add more visual interest that do not draw the eyes instantly to what seems like a very small waist. Knightley's more classic choice creates a very extreme frame. The silhouette "made her waist look so impossibly tiny you wondered whether it could be an optical illusion".
According to London, the contour is made by the boxy cut of the top and the A-line skirt sitting at the widest part of the hips.
Many think the style is going to be very popular. For one thing it does make you look very skinny. Crop tops were also a big trend last spring/summer season and this style continues along with that same idea.
What do you think?
