Underboobage/Reverse Cleavage: If Everyone Jumped…

If you’ve ever seen Mean Girls, you’ll remember the scene in which holes are cut into Rachel McAdams’s top, exposing her bra. Well, the guests at June 1st’s MOMA event might have thought that Christina Ricci fell prey to a similar prank.

Ricci showed up to the event wearing a black dress by Givenchy. Unfortunately, it seemed as if the designers at Givenchy neglected to line the dress. Yet Ricci wore the design with such confidence that the sheerness seemed intentional.

But what really got tongues wagging was the controversial cleavage the dress created. Rather than exposing the tops of the breasts in the traditional manner, the dress’s strategically placed collar left the under side of Ricci’s breast exposed. That quirky feature was enough to get every fashion blogger discussing the trend implications of underboob.

Some bloggers have taken criticism of Ricci’s choice even further, calling the get up “Goth” and citing the neoprene collar as the “rings of Saturn”. In addition, there is wide-spread reference to Ricci’s days as Wednesday Addams. {Stylecaster}

Unconventional cleavage has yet to become a legitimate trend. Hopefully Ricci will learn this, unlike her cleavage predecessor Lindsay Lohan, who has been an advocate for side cleavage for almost 5 years now. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old has yet to learn the importance of a bra.

Here’s hoping that Christina Ricci is not taking a dive into the deep end and will return to her more favorable fashion ways.

Would you attempt an outfit that gave you underboobage / reverse cleavage?
