Op shop finds on day one.

The white lace-detailed corset that I found at the op shop in the CBD in Melbourne is a timeless statement piece that embodies both sophistication and allure. Featuring intricate lace overlays that add texture and depth, it seamlessly merges vintage inspiration with modern styling. The structured boning cinches the waist for a sculpted silhouette, while the delicate lace evokes a sense of graceful charm. Whether styled with tailored trousers for a sleek contrast or paired with flowing skirts for a dreamy aesthetic, this corset is a versatile must-have for any wardrobe.

Corsets have been making waves in 2025, with several celebrities embracing the structured silhouette on red carpets and at major events. Here are a few standout moments:

• Kylie Jenner turned heads at the 2025 Met Gala in a sheer, deconstructed corset dress by Ferragamo, styled with a dramatic train and matching opera gloves.

• Hailey Bieber opted for a champagne-colored velvet corset dress at the Met Gala after-party, designed by Dilara Findikoglu, featuring sculpted hips and lingerie-inspired boning. 

• Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, and Madison Beer showcased stunning corsetry at the 2025 Grammys, proving that structured bodices are still a red-carpet favorite.
