Yesteryear's Shocker: Madonna's Dare-Bare Conical Bra Act Still To Be Outmatched At The Cannes Festival
Today, fashion seems to be ‘gowns with the wind’, but there was a time when it used to be pure dare-bare
Diaphanous gowns -- a la Aishwarya Rai's Cinderella look,
occasionally conservative and the occasionally mildly peekaboo ensembles of
Deepika Padukone, the chic hauteur of Sonam Kapoor-- are the looks being
sported by our abhinetris at the ongoing Cannes festival.
At most, there has been a brouhaha over a faux pas -- a
thigh-split gown inadvertently revealing nude underwear by the
internationally-lauded model Bella Hadid.

Just goes to show that the less the better is no more
while fashion spotting on the French Riviera. Indeed, the bygone millennium's
displays on the festival's Red Carpet were way more daring and audacious.
In fact, Madonna's display of a conical bra and knickers
had stirred up a right royal controversy way back in 1991. On the steps of the
Palais, the pop diva was at the Cannes for the premiere of a documentary on her
titled Truth or Dare.
In a Jean Gaultier creation, Madonna had dropped her
cloak to reveal the conical, leaving-nothing-to-the-imagination conical bra and
knickers.

This quick strip tease is still rated as one of the top
ten scandals which rocked the festival and the rest of the world. Needless to
add, the paparazzi couldn't have enough of Madonna that evening, as many as 16
years ago.
Incidentally, all through her prime days as a pop star,
Madonna would frequently make her bras a fashion statement at live concert
shows.
