Flashing cleavage, side boob, and side butt is old news; nowadays, it’s all about flaunting pelvic bones. It sounds like an incredulous trend, but we think we all saw it coming. Rumer Willis putting her pink underwear on display in an extreme cutout skirt and Kendall Jenner donning a gown with double slits were some of the signs of the start of this now-full-blown Hollywood red carpet obsession.

On last Sunday’s 2014 BET Awards red carpet, not one but two celebrities decided to air out their pelvic bones. First was Keke Palmer, who went for a she-bot look in an Alon Livné spring 2014 dress shaped by metallic gold trimming. Unfortunately, Keke didn’t match the dress’ bold style and seemed uncomfortable in all her red carpet pictures. We wonder how she sat, stood, or even breathed in this dress without flashing her lady bits to anyone throughout the whole evening?

The other celebrity to risk going commando just for the pelvic-bone-flashing trend was R&B singer Sevyn Streeter. The waist-high slits on her long skirt were literally held by strings. As if all that leg-baring wasn’t enough, Sevyn paired the skirt with a fluttery halter top that gave everyone a peek at her flat stomach. Short beach wave hair, metallic eye makeup, neon yellow nails, and heavy gold chain jewelry finished her look.

Are pelvic bones the new cleavage? Do you love or hate this trend? Either way, all those up-to-there cutouts give us unobstructed views of the celebrities’ shoes, which is something we always appreciate.

Keke Palmer’s shoes were the Saint Laurent “Janis” pumps in white, which are also favorites of Miley CyrusJessica Simpson, Ariana Grande, and Heidi Klum. The white is sold out online, but you can find several variants at Farfetch and Neiman Marcus.
