Suits Without Shirts: A Timeline of Hollywood's Favorite Trend
By Steff Yotka
In the realm of fashion trends beloved by Hollywood, suits without shirts doesn’t seem too crazy. We get it. Showing a little cleavage under a blazer is sexy. But what’s surprising is the popularity and the sheer magnitude of stars who have tested out the style — both Nicole Kidman and Kendall Jenner have been spotted in this look.
Most recently, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley sported a Versus Versace by Anthony Vaccarello cut-to-there blazer with nothing underneath. And just days before Cara Delevingne rolled into the Burberry spring 2015 show in a suit sans shirt beside Kate Moss, who was the covered up one in this situation.
