Glitter boobs may have been around a while, but for some uniquely obscure reason the fashion trend has witnessed a mercurial rise to prominence recently. So much so that it has become fashion trend that will feature at this year’s summer festivals.
Glitter boobs are a beauty trend where women cover their breasts in sparkly paint, multi-colored gems and nipple tassels.
Also dubbed “disco t-ts”, the brave look is really taking off and was hugely popular at Glastonbury 2017 – partly thanks to the unusually nice weather, New York Post reports.
It follows on from the glitter butt trend, which saw women dousing their nether regions in tons of sparkles.
The look has taken social media by storm, with hundreds of women proudly baring their jewel-encrusted breasts in events and carnivals.
Yves Saint Laurent even featured the look in their SS17 show and it was all the rage at California’s Coachella festival.
Glitter gurus The Gypsy Shrine, who had a stand at Glastonbury, and other companies have done a lot to promote the trend.
New York Post went on to give tips on how to recreate the look at home as seen below.
- Invest in better quality sticky gems with proper adhesive on the back
- Apply a fixing gel or hair gel before sprinkling glitter and gems on top
- Set the gems with hair spray
- Continue to decorate your face, arms and hair to complete the look
- And remember, you don’t actually need to go naked – you could always wear a crop top or bralette too.
