Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Ali Ahn is wearing a dress she made out of scrub brushes for a Drag Race design challenge. It got her sent home. Will clean the shit out of your boots, though. #SagAwards

Tyler James Williams is continuing with his big shoulder silhouette. The frumpy, kind of wrinkled fabric is at odds with the camp of the way this is all shaped. The whole look is incongruent, which sucks because this silhouette eats when it leans into the camp. #SagAwards

Having proper structure and support under a big shaped skirt is SO important Moeka Hoshi's dress would fucking eat if it were round and a proper shape, like one of Paul Poiret's lampshade dresses, but as it is, it's saggy and droopy and lumpy and sad. #SagAwards

At her 2000 VMAs performance, Britney Spears started out wearing a glittery pinstriped suit, performing a cover of "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones. THEN, she ripped the suit off, revealing this glittery nude-illusion getup underneath, and performed her hit song, "Oops! I Did it Again!"

Jennifer Lopez's 2000 Grammy dress was the naked dress to end all naked dresses. For real I cannot emphasize enough the extent to which people went absolutely WILD for this. It turned Jennifer Lopez from a budding starlet into an a-list STAR.

When I talk about "stuff going on in the background" in the 1990s and 2000s that helped brought sex and nudity to the forefront of culture, I mostly mean Amanda Lepore. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eym8...

On May 19, 1962, Marilyn Monroe walked onstage to perform at a birthday celebration for President John F. Kennedy, while wrapped in a large white fur stole. When she removed the stole, the audience audibly gasped. Underneath was a sparkling skin-tight dress.
