Pelvic Cutouts Are the Risqué Trend Bella Hadid and Kim K Are Already Endorsing

By now, you've probably noticed that the cutout trend has reached a fever pitch. The trend started taking hold with the F/W 20 collections and definitely didn't lose steam at the S/S 21 and F/W 21 shows. In the celebrity world, Zendaya wore an ab-baring cutout dress to the Oscars, and Emily Ratajkowski memorably wore a dress with a built-in G-string while pregnant. Now, Bella Hadid and Kim Kardashian are offering up the latest ideas on how to try out the look.
Both women were photographed in Paris wearing different versions of the exposed-hip cutout trend this week. Hadid wore I.Am.Gia's Carrie Pants ($80) with the fabric sliced and diced at the pelvic bone, and Kardashian's Barragán Amarre Dress ($439) showed off slivers of her hips. Scroll down to see how they wore the cutout trend in Paris and to shop the look.
