Kim
Kardashian and Rita Ora may have made headlines for showing up to a
party in near-identical latex dresses but they're not the first - and
the won't be the last - to rock the look.
Once
the sartorial statement of choice in sex clubs, latex, PVC and wet-look
leather has been treated to a high fashion makeover.
It's
all the rage among celebrities and supermodels and judging by the
catwalks at fashion week, it could well be filling our wardrobes in
months to come.
Kim
Kardashian and Rita Ora showed up to a party on Thursday night in
near-identical latex dresses by famed designer, Atsuko Kudo...and
they're just two of the stars jumping on the bandwagon
On
Thursday night, Rita Ora, 24, stepped out for the Mert & Marcus
House of Love party in celebration of Madonna wearing a near-identical
latex dress to the queen of curves herself.
Both designs were by Atsuko Kudo and while Kim, 34, went for a high-collared look, Rita's came with a metal adorned choker.
Kim
has long championed the style. She wore a strikingly similar look by the
same the designer back in November for a fragrance launch in Australia.
The
£274 blush pink ensemble was the third time in just a few months Kim
Kardashian wore the look, after pouring herself into a black bodice at
the GQ Woman Of The Year awards in September, and to watch husband Kanye
West perform at Made In America in Los Angeles in August.

Mrs Kanye West isn't the only
celebrity to wear Atsko Kudo designs: the elaborate red dress Lady Gaga
wore to meet Queen Elizabeth in 2009 was created by the designer
Speaking
to MailOnline about the bra and pencil skirt combo at the time, the
brand’s managing director, Simon Hoare, said: ‘Latex fits so much to the
body that to the naked eye it’s very difficult to tell if it’s a top
and a skirt, or a dress,’ he said.
Kim’s
skin-tight outfit appears to leave little room for underwear, and Simon
admitted it generally looks better if the wearer does go sans pants.
‘It’s probably better without if you can manage it – but I’d have to leave that up to the lady in question’.
The
co-founder of the label said that they have met with the Keeping Up
With The Kardashians star to discuss her beloved latex outfits.
‘We have met Kim and chatted about what she likes,’ he confirmed.
‘Atsko designs with 100 per cent the female body in mind, and of course Kim is just embodying the feminine shape right now.
‘[The outfits] are very feminine and very empowering.’
