I swear the conical bras were popular because of Madonna! I don’t know if that’s actually the case but that’s what I always associated them with, lol

Madonna is a well known, more modern wearer of those kinds of bras, but… they were actually a pretty common type of bra going back to the 40s - 60s, worn by Marilyn Monroe and many other actresses and models / pin up girls.

Behold, the 1950s ‘Bullet Bra’ fashion trend:

So… Madonna too was actually doing a retro callback, as Gen Zers are now doing with ‘mom jeans’.
