Did Beyonce Bring Back the Bodysuit ?

So after all the seemingly low budget simple (for Beyonce) videos of  our girl Beyonce strutting around in bodysuits, did she bring them back? My first thoughts was...ok since Re-Re- (Rhianna) got the stylist from another world maybe my girl B feels like she gonna play it simple and keep her wardrobe on low key status. But then when she did it in yet a second video I was like ok now WTH.

Well it seems like her (Beyonce) stylist keeps up with Mulan trends. The prediction for Sring 2010 seems to be the fabulous "Bodysuit" taking over international a well as national runways all over.

Notice I said Beyonce brought it back....for all the fashionistas that rely on me for the history of fashion and trends, follow the story below. It gives you anidea of just how far back Bodysuits actually go (Beyonce was probably all of  4 or 5 years old) !

Back in the mid-eighties, Donna Karan launched her simple dressing system, Seven Easy Pieces, and made black stretch-jersey bodysuits (along with leggings and strong-shouldered jackets) part of the modern woman’s uniform. That’s Paulina Porizkova and assorted other runway lovelies modeling the look for Spring 1986. Lately, the one-piece has been revived by Dov Charney’s American Apparel, partly, it seems, for the opportunity it gives him to produce leggy advertising campaigns. Now, the look seems to be crossing back over from low to high.



There’s no doubt that a leotard sans pants is sexy; see Alexander Wang’s designs. But the bodysuit’s real appeal lies in its streamlined simplicity. Wear it solo for sleek lines, or layer on a blazer or a pencil skirt, as Francesco Scognamiglio and Hussein Chalayan did, respectively, on their Spring catwalks. Celine’s Phoebe Philo and Stella McCartney, both champions of practical chic, showed one-pieces this season. And Karan herself put Sasha Pivovarova in a sleeveless version with a breezy skirt.
