Bridgerton fans may like to take credit for the current trend
in layering corsets into a ready-to-wear look. Still, it’s tough
for even the most successful Net昀氀ix show to compete with
the millions of fans who have paid hundreds and sometimes
thousands of dollars to catch Beyoncé or Taylor Swift in concert.
They’re just two of the major artists who have embraced corset

must-have accessories at the Academy Awards in March

red carpets.
Beyoncé, in particular, has been favoring full-length gloves
throughout her Renaissance World Tour. Gloves were crucial
to her Agent Provocateur look in Las Vegas. She also wore
them while performing in Kansas City. It was part of a custom
Balenciaga look that combined opera gloves in black jersey
with a bustier dress crafted with over 8,000 embellished crystal
rhinestones.
