Mildew has a concert!
On this "Erras Tour", in addition to the song itself, the opening look of Mildew has also become the focus - diamond-encrusted underwear with mesh stockings and shiny silver boots. Back on the Reputation Tour, Mildew wore at least three sets of panties with sequins in different colors.
provoked many netizens to say, why does she love to wear this kind of underwear so much?

In fact, not only mold, many female stars will wear one-piece underwear at concerts, such as Li Min and Zuer Yung in China, and sister Snap (Dua Lipa) and Sister A (Ariana Grande) abroad.
What is so good about underwear, so favored by female star concerts? What's so particular about the costumes for the concert?
What's so good about underwear
Perhaps, female stars can not hold concerts, but female stars will never lack a one-piece at their concerts.
Moreover, this trend appeared as early as the last century. In 1985, 32-year-old Teresa Teng appeared in a black and shiny one-piece at a concert, with a white hat and high heels, which was very eye-catching.

The direct reason why female celebrities always choose one-piece underwear is: good looks.
Concerts are often an audiovisual feast, in this process, singing performance is important, but the quality of the stage shape is also one of the indicators to judge the success of a concert. Compared with skirts and pants, one-piece underwear can highlight the good figure of female stars.
The underwear is a type of one-piece, and its tight wrap perfectly represents the curves of the human body – focusing the chest, sculpting the waist and lifting the buttocks.
The high-slit triangle design at the bottom of the underwear also has a strong "leg lengthening" function, and visually increasing the leg length by 10 cm is not a dream.

Mo Wenwei once appeared in a flesh-colored diamond-encrusted underwear at a concert, which made many audiences shout "long legs worth 30 million".
Generally speaking, as long as the shape of the underwear is done well, it can bring a direct visual impact to people, but if it is not good, it is easy to appear pompous and vulgar, or even ugly.

Another reason for the popularity of one-piece underwear is the ease of dressing.
During the concert, stars often need to change a set of looks within a minute or even tens of seconds, and the underwear can be directly hidden in the previous set of clothing, and after singing a song, one second to "tear" the coat can complete the change, but also drive the atmosphere of the scene.
For example, Mildew changed 16 outfits at a recent concert, including at least 3 outfits with underwear.
One-piece underwear for the freedom of dressing in one second
In addition, simple and tight underwear can also allow female stars to better "show off their skills", singing and dancing without pressure.
- First, the pants edge of the underwear lower body can be close to the base of the thigh, which will not produce the slightest resistance when the thigh movement is too large, and the resistance of the clothing to complete the action can be minimized;
- Second, the underwear is generally thinner fabric, has a high degree of skin exposure, and is easier to dissipate heat and sweat, which is very friendly to female stars who hold concerts in the summer.
Swimsuits and gymnastics suits that resemble one-piece underwear are favored by athletes because of these characteristics.
For gymnasts, this style of gymnastics clothing can also well modify the athlete's figure and enhance the athlete's physical beauty. And for divers/swimmers, simple tight one-piece swimsuits can be a good way to reduce the resistance to getting into the water; In the process of jumping into the water or swimming quickly, such swimsuits are also not easy to fall off or flooded, so you don't have to worry about running out.

Nowadays, not only concerts, but also many people wear "one-piece underwear" every day, which is the standard for hot girls.
The design of the one-piece is integrated into the outer top, which not only makes the ordinary fit clothes more sexy, but also makes the clothes less slippery or wrinkled.

How to wear concert costumes?
In fact, there is no official rule on what to wear to the concert, and it is all up to free play.
Therefore, in concerts, we often see celebrities competing for color, each with its own characteristics, and even their own costume styles.
As far as internal entertainment is concerned, what Faye Wong's concert wears has always been a hot topic for the media and netizens to talk about in Tianjin, because she is too! Yes! Wear! As early as 1993, Faye Wong was already performing on stage wearing a plastic skirt with leggings jacket and sheer eyes, with small curly hair on her forehead, full of playful girlishness.

In the millennium concert, Faye Wong's style was more personal, she directly put the Indian style on the stage, and inserted a bunch of bird feathers in her head, with the light and breezy expression of the clouds, it was not very contrary.

At her solo concert in 2003-2004 , she wore a white dress with two square silver eyes on her face and an inverted heel-like heel-like headdress with a feather on the heel.
How to say it, it sounds outrageous at first, but because the protagonist is Faye Wong, I feel "Ah, that's normal".
If you change someone, you may think that it is a jumping god
Compared with Faye Wong's boldness and personality, Karen Mok's costumes at the concert are more sexy and charming.
For example, during her "Brilliant" tour in 2018, she opened with a long loose bathrobe and a headscarf, took off while singing, changed into black curly hair, red lips, white shirt and diamond stockings, lying on the red sports car and singing "Cloudy Day", directly filling the sense of sexy atmosphere.
She also wore sequin fringed Latin costumes many times and performed pas Latina de pas with dancers; Black stockings and a skinny leather jacket are a must-have element in his concert outfit.

Although these looks are exciting enough, in terms of stage costumes, they are not as good as stage queen Lady Gaga, and her concert costumes can be described as maverick and strange.
During last year's Chromatica Ball tour in Paris, Gaga's gray sculptural structure stitched body armor with PVC masks began with disintegration and spinning, like an extremely evolutionary scene.

In the same scene, Gaga also wore Deadlotus Couture's black and purple bodysuit, with a masked long-bearded helmet, as if cosing a robotic insect from the future, which was strange and scary at first glance...

Not only concerts, but also the styling of other occasions, Gaga can be said to implement the "exaggerated and grotesque" to the end-
Animal collections, face-wrapping lace dresses, wearing only Bra, real beef dresses, etc., are shocking but also impressive.
However, I have to say that whether the concert costumes are ugly or beautiful in the end really depends on the skill of the star team.
When it comes to Deng Ziqi in the early years, perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is not the famous song "Bubble", but her favorite tight leather pants, black, pink, blue, big red... I can't wait to tell people all over the world about my love for colorful leather pants.
Not only leather pants, Deng Ziqi's previous stylists also played abnormally in various highly saturated colors of sequin long skirts, directly showing ten years older. It wasn't until she got a new stylist that she gradually found her own style.
