Pasties have come a long way from the boring nude flower pasties of the past and are now being worn as a fashion accessory that is meant to be seen. With all the crazy paparazzi stalking celebrities now, pasties not only look cool, but they assure that you won’t make the latest “nip slip” list. And with all of the great colors, shapes and fabric that pasties are made out of nowadays, they can be appropriately worn casually, as swimwear or even in conjunction with a couture dress (a la Katy Perry and her couture Marchesa dress and white lace heart pasties!).

So what do you think of the pasties trend? Smart & sexy or tired & trashy? Would you dare to wear pasties in public, and if so, what would you wear them with?

I never thought I would be calling a glimpse of pasties “classy”, but it sure is a step up from all of the Hollywood wardrobe malfunctions, nip slips and worse. Personally, I think Rihanna is already a style icon and manages to make sequined star pasties look stylish, edgy and sexy!

What do you think? Are Rihannas pasties a stylish alternative to a nip slip, or just plain trashy?

The yellow color is so fun for summer and Tila is right on trend pairing this cute ruffled dress with a sexy waist-cinching belt. Both the belt and ruffled dress are available right here at LaLaLingerie.com, so snap one up before they sell out!
