BIG beige briefs have ruled our knicker drawers in recent years – but this Christmas, sexy, red-hot stocking thrillers are back.
Thanks to Kim Kardashian’s brand Skims and years of lockdowns dampening our appetite for raunchy lingerie, a plain old T-shirt bra has become the norm.
However, for 2024, labels have relaunched Christmas campaigns showcasing their raciest and most daring undies. And red, in particular, is leaving less vibrant designs in the shade.
Not only is it super-festive, but it is the colour of lust – and these sets are certain to get pulses racing.
Lingerie brands have teamed up with the most glamorous celebrity sirens to front their promotions, from Abbey Clancy modelling for Agent Provocateur to Rihanna sizzling in her own Savage X Fenty line.
Even Skims, known for its more bland colour palette, has thrown out its rule book and dressed Canadian singer Tate McRae in a risque red body.
So if your style is usually modest, there is no better time than Christmas to take the plunge and sleigh a new look.
Here, Abby McHale reveals the lingerie sets that are sure to make Santa blush.
RIHANNA
RIHANNA, 36, has released some raunchy tunes in her time – and the theme has carried through to her lingerie line.
The mum of two looks incredible in a red and black corset with rolled- down dress, and we’re sure her fans will be following suit.
Savage Fenty bra, £70, pants, £31, dress £110
ABBEY CLANCY
DO you Clancy looking like a supermodel this festive season?
Tate McRae rocks very high-cut red lingerie for Kim Kardashian’s Skims in frosty holiday photoshoot
Agent Provocateur enlisted Wag Abbey, 38, to spread some festive cheer decked out in strappy stockings and suspenders with a lace bra.
Find me someone who wouldn’t love to unwrap these on Christmas Day.
Agent Provocateur bra, £545, briefs, £375, suspender belt, £470, stockings, £40
INDIA REYNOLDS
BE a frill seeker, just like India Reynolds in this sexy set from Pour Moi.
Red does not always have to be bright, as the ex-Love Island star and model, 33, proves.
The deeper tone would suit those looking for something more demure.
With four pieces for the whole look – a bra, thong, stockings and suspender belt – there is no keeping it brief with this outfit.
Pour Moi bra, £35, thong, £16, suspender, £22, stockings, £14
JASMINE TOOKES
OOZING sex appeal, US model Jasmine Tookes, 33, looks ravishing in this all-red set from Victoria’s Secret, which is hot enough to wear out.
It’s sexy, strappy and would look smoking hot under a blazer – or, of course, as underwear.
Victoria’s Secret, what Tookes you so long?
Victoria’s Secret, £75
MOLLY SMITH
SUMMERS like it hot . . . and so does former Love Islander Molly Smith.
The 30-year-old, who won the show’s All Stars series with Tom Clare, has joined high street lingerie giant Ann Summers for its Christmas campaign.
She models a strappy three-piece set which comes with stockings and suspenders.
Scorching, but not for the fainthearted.
Ann Summers, £38
TATE McRAE
THIS is the polar opposite of the usual statement Skims style (think earthy, neutral tones).
But the ruby red, high-cut bodysuit is a huge success – and looks roar-some on leggy 21-year-old Greedy singer Tate.
Skims, £88
