Lizzo Wears Nipple Necklace Dress at Cannes amfAR Gala

other · 2026-05-21

Lizzo debuted a nipple necklace dress at the amfAR Gala in Cannes, wearing a cobalt blue Robert Wun gown from the spring 2026 couture collection. The strapless sculptural bust and mermaid skirt featured a necklace hanging from the dress's nipples, along with matching blue gloves with extra hands. The singer skipped the runway's headpiece and crown. Nipple necklaces have a history in fashion: Thierry Mugler's spring 1998 couture show featured model Erica Vanbriel in a sheer dress hanging from nipple rings, as she told Byline in 2023. Collina Strada's Hillary Taymour used daisy-shaped nipple attachments for a pale pink dress in spring 2023. At the 2026 Grammys, Chappell Roan wore a burgundy Mugler iteration with prosthetic nipples. Lizzo's look confirms the pierced dress trend's staying power.
