Summary

We can’t stop talking about breasts. From Dua Lipa wearing Miu Miu’s Fall 2025 bullet bra on the cover of British Vogue to the Sydney Sweeney of it all…its hard to ignore that boobs are everywhere. 

Megan Nolan is an Irish novelist and journalist based in New York. She is the author of international bestseller Acts of Desperation and Ordinary Human Failing and wrote in a new Vogue article about how the conversation around breasts seems to be oscillating from a cleavage friendly aesthetic to the movement toward small and subtle all in “a confusing and sometimes contradictory cultural backdrop.” 

Vogue’s Senior Beauty & Wellness Editor Margaux Anbouba who has also been reporting on the rise of bullet bras and investigating how cadaver fat is now being used for augmentations. Both writers join Chloe in this week's episode of The Run Through to talk about what’s behind our current obsession with breasts, what larger movements might be impacting trends and what’s next for the boob.
