"    Move over, peekaboo tops. Step aside, sideboob. Center-bra is the breast-baring trend du jour\u2014and Cosmo is ON IT. &amp;quot;Sex and the City started the trend of wearing brightly-colored bras underneath your clothing, revealing the straps, but we&amp;#039;ve all seen that,&amp;quot; Aya says. &amp;quot;Now, we&amp;#039;re finding new ways to show our beautiful lingerie and the center-bra is the trend of the moment.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;When Demi was confirmed for the August Cosmo cover, I knew I wanted to put her in a plunging neckline. We wanted to convey the heat of summer in a chic and tasteful, yet sexy way and, at the same time, show off Demi&amp;#039;s amazing boobs,&amp;quot; Aya recalled. &amp;quot;When I&amp;#039;m styling, I&amp;#039;m always thinking about that person&amp;#039;s body type and what element would they like to play up.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Once I saw the Stella McCartney teal and black lace bra in the fashion closet, I knew we had to use it to layer underneath the plunging orange dress. The boring way to layer underneath that dress would have been to go with an orange bra. But we wanted it to contrast and stand out. Where lingerie might be considered a side market, for our girl it might be the most beautiful thing she owns, so I like to incorporate [pretty, little] underthings into our cover looks to give her inspiration. Before Demi came in for her fitting, I paired the bra with the dress and hung everything up in our fashion closet, so that she could see the colors play against each other. As soon as she came into my office, she pointed to the combo and said, &amp;#039;I love that!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; The rest is history. And while there&amp;#039;s been much ado about Demi&amp;#039;s gorgeous cleavage, with airbushing rumors swirling on the Web, Aya wants the world to know that Demi&amp;#039;s center-bra &amp;quot;isn&amp;#039;t altered in any way.&amp;quot; Even when Demi shed her bra for this feature look, she kept playing up two of her sultriest features...    Demi isn&amp;#039;t the only celeb to grace a Cosmo cover flashing a bit of center-bra. Kelly Osbourne also bared hers for our July 2013 issue.    So, how do you show off your center-bra in real life (until you land your first Cosmo cover)? First, get yourself a pretty colored bra that you&amp;#039;d actually want the world to see. Then, pick up a top, dress, or jacket with a plunging neckline. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m particularly a fan of how this is shown in suiting, wearing the bra under your buttoned blazer with high-waisted tailored trousers or a skirt, because it&amp;#039;s sexy and powerful,&amp;quot; Aya adds. &amp;quot;You don&amp;#039;t actually want to reveal that much of your bra. You only want to show a sliver of it when you&amp;#039;re wearing a plunging neckline. Make sure the bottom of the &amp;#039;V&amp;#039; of your neckline doesn&amp;#039;t show your belly button. You want to keep the look sexy, but still tasteful.&amp;quot; Aya&amp;#039;s last bit of center-bra advice? &amp;quot;Look at your body type and see what works best for you. Basically, with crop tops and midriff-baring, plunging necklines rising in popularity, we should all start doing crunches right now [laughs].&amp;quot; Will you be rocking the center-bra trend stat, just like Demi and Kelly?
