From there, the cone corset became a fashion trend as it broke the rules of what a corset should be.
In 1991, Madonna caused a stir when she attended the 63rd annual Academy Awards after-party with Michael Jackson. Madonna wore Harry Winston diamonds worth about 20 million USD (more than 468 billion VND). The female singer wore a sparkling dress and looked very seductive.
Also that year, Madonna had an unforgettable fashion moment when wearing a strapless Dolce & Gabbana dress on the red carpet. She appeared at the premiere of the documentary Truth or Dare wearing a bold outfit that showed off her slim body. The look became iconic as she showed off more skin on the red carpet.

In 2004, Madonna revived the corset trend.
Not only that, the singer also wore a corset during her US tour and world tour. The look became an instant trend as she once again bent the rules of what a corset “should” be.
