While corsets date back to the Victorian ages as a tool to straighten the spine and give women a teensy-weensy waist, there’s no way the inventor, a Roxey Ann Caplin, would know that it would go on to become a celebrity favorite fashion statement. While the corset was intended to be worn as innerwear, it and its new-fangled variations like the corset belt have gone on to be worn as outerwear in many fashion police approved looks. Here’s a look at 6 of those times these celebrities wore the corset as outerwear.
