Championing femininity and strength in equal measure, the catsuit has made its official return and all the fashion it-girls are wearing it. From Kim Kardashian, Bella Hadid to Rihanna and Beyoncé, the catsuit sightings are on an all-time high. No longer reserved for Superwoman, Catwoman, or for that matter, Uma Tharman from Kill Bill (2003), the catsuit is now a fashion favourite and soon to be part of our 2022 must-have list. Tracing its popularity all the way back to Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief (1955), where she revolutionises a black catsuit overlaying it with a white cover-up skirt, the catsuit has been a key in many iconic looks through the ages.
Without being overly revealing, a catsuit and its inherent curve-hugging silhouette is a perfect balance of sensuality and sophistication. A common sighting on the recent runways of Richard Quinn, Prada, and Balenciaga, this ultra-feminine trend is bold yet entirely wearable. Read on to see some of the trendiest catsuits we have our eyes on and how some of our favourite fashion it-girls are styling them.
