Lily James Made This Lingerie "Faux Pas" Look So Chic on the Red Carpet
For a long time, women were expected to hide all evidence of their undergarments, lest we succumb to the dreaded VPL (visible panty line). But the underwear-as-outerwear trend has changed all that. Nowadays, anything goes. A thong on display at the Golden Globes? Check. Bras as shirts? Yep. Underwear as pants? Yes, that too.
Now, Lily James is convincing me that another supposed "faux pas" is actually quite cool: the exposed bra clasp. Instead of tucking her bra into the back of her dress, she flaunted it loud and proud—and why shouldn't she? Scroll down to see Lily James's newest red carpet look at the London premiere of her new movie, What's Love Got to Do With It?

After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports.
