The Tamesis
Even now, the desire for JPG’s corsetry and body-centered wardrobe remains strong. Stars continue to discover vintage JPGs, including Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Cardi B, and Doja Cat (just to name a few). Many of them wore the famous 90s polka-dot Cyber dresses or jumpsuits, while others paired Gaultier’s newly released mesh T-shirts with simple jeans.
Gaultier’s mesh pieces have lasting appeal and are perfectly suited for the 2026 Met Gala. Tonight explores how clothing can create a deeper connection with the body, with Gaultier’s playful, abstract and often eye-catching body-hugging pieces having all the ingredients for a remarkable red carpet look. Why don’t celebrities wear them?

The question is: Which famous A-list star would be brave enough to get nearly naked in front of hundreds of paparazzi (and millions of online viewers)? Kim Kardashian is a long-time fan and wearer of vintage JPGs, which seems like a no-brainer, especially considering she often goes all out for events. Another superfan, Cardi B, can easily slip into one of his vacuum-sealed outfits. Or maybe it will be someone completely unexpected, a menswear moment from an adventurer like Bad Bunny or Colman Domingo. Place your bet now!
