11 Chic Braless Looks From the Runway

From Kate Moss at Gucci to Naomi Campbell at Valentino, here are 10 moments when models went braless on the runway.

Fashion has a habit of pushing the limits, and provocative, braless styles appeared on the runway long before the Free the Nipple movement. While braless moments were once controversial, now it’s completely normal to see intentional nip slips or to go fully topless on the catwalk. Visionary designers like Gianni Versace, John Galliano, and Vivienne Westwood were ahead of their time and helped normalize the no-bra look. Here, look back on 10 runway moments that made ditching the bra high fashion.
