These 7 Runway Trends Are It For Fall - From Corsets to Micro Skirts

The fall 2022 season found designers in the four major fashion capitals reflecting on the state of the world. The result? A new set of trends - from reimagined sportswear to reworked denim - to welcome a future where we resume our pre-pandemic lives, hopefully with wisdom gained from the past couple of years.

With Miu Miu's viral low-rise miniskirts, the love affair with Y2K fashion continues. Diesel's denim-clad models and Loewe's jean shoes signal a new era for the timeless textile. Elements inspired by motorcycle racing were introduced; blazers were tailored to project a sense of gravitas; and lingerie-style pieces like sheer bras and corsets were designed to be seen. And for those of us who feel the return to normalcy is too abrupt, there's no shortage of blanket silhouettes that don't sacrifice style or comfort. Elsewhere, Thom Browne's reworked knits, kooky oversize coats, and patchwork suiting separates give business dressing a fun new twist. The designer broke away from the traditional Fashion Week calendar, staging his runway show at an industrial location filled with teddy bears in New York City on April 29.

Each trend marks a fresh start after an extended time of uncertainty. While some edge toward the avant-garde side (see Gucci's sporty corset and Yohji Yamamoto's deconstructed denim shirt), the majority of them are surprisingly wearable. Whether you'd like to experiment with wacky silhouettes and accessories, or would prefer to update your classic closet staples, the fashion ideas abound.

Ahead, get inspired by new sporty silhouettes; cool denim pieces; cozy knit ensembles; bold low-rise skirts; sultry lingerie looks; edgy moto separates; and sharp blazers. Read on for the top seven runway trends of the fall season.

Julia Fox's Nylon Dress Has an Extreme Open-Front Cutout

Julia Fox has descended upon the streets of New York ahead of Fashion Week to continue showing off her sultry, eccentric style consisting of a range of all-black, skin-baring looks this past summer. Fox's latest choice is a stretch-nylon midi dress with an open caged corset built in, created by designer Luis De Javier, who has also dreamed up avant-garde pieces for stars such as Rihanna and Kim Kardashian. The look in question is affixed to one long, grommet-adorned strap that wraps around the neck like a halter and extends toward the floor.

Working alongside her stylist Briana Andalore, Fox, 32, accessorized with a pair of pointed-toe leather booties, complete with a thick buckle strap across the upper and a sharp, nail-like stiletto heel. She finished the ensemble with a circular leather shoulder bag from By Far and a natural makeup look with a soft pink lip and a touch of blush - save for the thick swipe of bold red shadow that lined her eyes. She opted for wet hair, parted to the side, and a square-shaped french manicure with transparent tips.

Fox's outfit will likely conjure images of the latex dress she wore in LA this past August, held together by two shapely pieces of metal. The mini was yet another example of the surprising fabrics and silhouettes she's willing to experiment with as she rounds out her collection of memorable moments.

Ahead, catch a few more angles of Fox in Luis De Javier's forward-thinking design, then reminisce about the set of all-leather pieces she wore with a skull cap for yet another photo shoot on August 12.

Halle Bailey's Unique Cutout Sweater Is Perfect For Date Night

Transitional dressing isn't always easy, but Halle Bailey recently pulled it off with a cozy yet stylish date-night outfit. In her latest Instagram post, the singer and actor shared a series of selfies, likely moments before a night out with her boyfriend, rapper DDG. Styling a plunging cropped knit top with formfitting black pants resembling leggings, Bailey accessorized with tan sandals, a black leather chain purse, and gold earrings. Her deconstructed sweater was a unique, striking choice, featuring a large front cutout, mock neck, and detached sleeves.

Romantically linked since January 2022, Bailey and DDG made their red carpet debut at the 2022 BET Awards in June; they matched in sleek black outfits: Bailey in a black Mônot set with a plunging neckline and hip cutouts, and the rapper in a Prada turtleneck and vest, finished with stacked chain necklaces. For a more casual evening with DDG in London, "The Little Mermaid" star chose a velvety-green two-piece set with a crop top and slitted maxi skirt.

Aside from her date-night style, Bailey has brought out some equally chic looks all summer. Inspired by her "The Little Mermaid" character, she stunned in a green multimedia coordinating bra-and-skirt set by Joanna Prazmo for Variety's 2022 Power of Young Hollywood issue in August. And at the magazine's corresponding Power of Young Hollywood even, she donned a white '90s slip dress from August Getty Atelier. Just a week prior, she appeared in Latto's "It's Givin" music video wearing a pinstripe bikini suit with tiny tailored bottoms.

Take a closer look at her latest outfit ahead.

Anne Hathaway Styles a Cutout Top With a Neon Bra on Colorado Trip

Anne Hathaway leaned into post-Labor Day style at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado to promote her new film "Armageddon Time" from Sept. 2-4. The 39-year-old actress, who is styled by Erin Walsh, packed a slew of transitional staples, including La Ligne's white cotton Sirena dress with puffed sleeves and a black leather mockneck top with cutouts at the sides, which she wore over a neon green bralette.

The La Ligne design, replete with a twisted knot at the V-neckline, hit mid-shin, providing the perfect opportunity for Hathaway to show off her heeled lug-sole boots, which she wore twice during her trip. A crossbody bucket bag accented the functional shoes, and "The Devil Wears Prada" star played up the Western vibes with a brown woven hat and thick denim jacket.

Meanwhile, she kicked things off on Sept. 2 in her black leather top and flared denim, catering to the same aesthetic but with a unique twist - a pop of lime green thanks to the bra worn underneath. She accessorized with the same delicate jewelry daily, including gold chain necklaces, simple hoops, and everyday stacking rings.

While Hathaway definitely proved it's possible to ground out both a breezy sundress and sporty crop top with a rustic edge, these weren't the only two outfits she wore to usher in fall.

Ahead, get a rundown of Hathaway's five casual-chic looks at the Telluride Film Festival, then review her moments in the spotlight this past summer. From pulling off Barbiecore in pink Valentino sequins to rocking electric yellow mini shorts with a floor-sweeping shirt and diamond choker to fulfill her duties as Bulgari ambassador, her statements have been nothing short of bold.

Megan Thee Stallion Rocks Sheer Lingerie and Bold Gowns in "Ungrateful" Video

Building on the success of her sophomore album "Traumazine," Megan Thee Stallion serves up a fresh dose of costume inspiration in her video for "Ungrateful," released on Sept. 6. The track itself is a collaboration with rapper Key Glock, and the first scene of the music video takes place in a hotel room, with Megan lounging on a bed in black lingerie.

The sultry set consists of a bra top with sheer panels at the center and on each side, along with matching strappy underwear with cutouts at the front and a sheer back embroidered with lacy floral motifs. The singer finishes the look with glossy black pumps, and her long, curly hair extends to her lower back, softly framing her smoky eye and pink lip.

Next, Megan leaves the hotel room and changes into an equally alluring ensemble. She struts down a hallway in a black strapless velvet gown with a contrasting white fringe hem and an open, lace-up back that puts her derrière on full display. Taking the drama up a notch, Megan accessorizes with a sheer embroidered black veil and dangling earrings.

The following scene brings us into a staged outdoor funeral, where Megan pulls back the veil to clearly reveal her smoky makeup. Moments after, we see her clad in an all-white outfit, consisting of a majestic wide-brim hat and a silky cowlneck slipdress. A pair of silver earrings and white sandals round out the elegant look.

The music video packs just as much heat as the one she released last month for "Her." In the black-and-white montage, she embraces a variety of catsuits, from cutouts to designs with full coverage. Ahead, appreciate her latest work of art.
