¿Qué es el Péplum? Es un género de film que popularmente puede conceptualizarse como cine histórico de aventuras. Estas películas están ambientadas en la Antigüedad, fundamentalmente greco-romana, al igual que el “peplo” (del latín, péplum), vestiduras que usaban las mujeres en Grecia antes del año 500 a.C. que eran túnicas sin mangas abrochadas al hombro.
Hoy en día nos referimos al “péplum” como un trozo de tela superflua en forma de volante que va cosido a la altura de la cintura sobre faldas, vestidos o incluso tops. Su función, según los diseñadores, es la de acentuar la figura femenina, especialmente la cintura y las caderas. Con los años esta silueta ha ido evolucionando y adaptándose. Recientemente ha resurgido con fuerza.

Lo hemos visto en pasarelas, en celebrities e incluso en la alfombra roja, como Michelle Williams o Tina Fey.
We have seen it on runways, celebrities and even on the red carpet, like Michelle Williams or Tina Fey.
Lo único que debemos tener en cuenta para que esta tendencia no resulte desfavorecedora es que el péplum no nazca más arriba de la cintura, ya que si nace de debajo del pecho puede formar una silueta rara como le ocurre a Jessica Chastain con este vestido.
The only matter we have to be careful about with this trend is that it isn´t born neither from above the waist nor from beneath the breast, as it can form a rare silhouette as happens with Jessica Chastain in this dress.
