London - Tartan and tweed may have been hot looks on the catwalk over Paris Fashion Week, but the A-listers were spearheading a new trend of their own in the French capital.

Kim Kardashian, Miranda Kerr and Cara Delevingne all unveiled the so-called “extreme cleavage” – dresses or jackets that revealed an enormous expanse of decolletage.

New mother Kim Kardashian’s take on the trend was the most extreme, with the 32-year-old showing off her Botticelli-like form in a series of risque outfits.

Kanye West’s girlfriend wasn’t the only star keen to show off their decollete either.

Model-of-the-moment Cara Delevingne also wore a revealing black jumpsuit, complete with a daringly low cut neckline.

Elsewhere in Paris, Miranda Kerr proved she had the trend nailed with a sequence of outfits that would have even the most liberal of women blush.

As one of the sexiest models in the world she would turn heads anyway – let alone when sporting the sort of dramatic necklines she stepped out in.

At the Stella McCartney show at Paris Fashion Week, the 30-year-old looked confident and stunning in a low-cut white dress which featured a low-cut neckline, dropped-waist and a modest midi-length.

In Los Angeles, actress Gwyneth Paltrow showed her support for the racy look as she stepped out in a black tuxedo jacket while filming an advert.

The 41-year-old wore the blazer, which was open to the navel, as part of a shoot for Boss Jour Pour Femme perfume.

She wore her blonde hair swept over one shoulder and was topless underneath her blazer aside from a simple gem necklace.

Speaking about the extreme cleavage trend, celebrity stylist Claire Wacey, said: “The new trend to show off more cleavage is great provided you have a pert, toned bust. If, however, your boobs do not defy gravity and require bras of steel to keep them in place, do not attempt this trend.

“If attempting, then ensure that you only show the curve of the bust, either in the centre or at the top rather than creating a pushed together ‘Bum Boob’.

“Look for dresses that will separate and lift the bust so that the look remains classy.

“Invest in strong tit tape, which is great to keep everything in place.”

Daily Mail fashion deputy editor Lisa Potter added: “The fashion craze that’s been popping out all over the red carpet? Cleavage.

“Whether you like it or not, necklines are cut down to there lately, with everyone from serial offender Kim Kardashian to the usually demure Gwyneth Paltrow parading their assets in plunging everything.

“There’s a fine line between sexy and downright tacky so if you want to carry off a dangerous neckline – and stay in favour with the fash pack – then remember to keep everything else low-key and simple. That means long hemlines, adding a sleek cover-up like a blazer and keeping hair and make-up minimal.” – Daily Mail
