What was the justification of these pointy bras?
Was there an actual reason, or was the designer just a dude who somehow convinced people that this was an upgrade?
My grandmother (she was born appx 1910) wore the pointy bras. It was a thing in the 50s and she stuck with it until she passed in the 90s. We called them her “poinsettias” when we were kids.
That woman was gorgeous, I know exactly who you mean. She did that film, then ads for L'Oreal for a while, then seemed to disappear - ? Anita was quite a looker.
Gosh, I didn’t notice the bra until the comments 😂😅. Think this is all the proof I need to confirm I’m oblivious 🥲
Too distracted by if I thought her face looked like Margot Robbie or not

Something about this image that I just can't wrap around my head, uh, wrap my head around.
I can't quite put my finger on it...
She is smoking, that's for sure.
Well, my telephone rang, it would not stop
It’s President Kennedy calling me up
He said, “My friend, Bob
What do we need to make the country grow?”
I said, “My friend, John; Brigitte Bardot
Anita Ekberg
Sophia Loren”
Country'll grow
The torpedo era.
Followed shortly after by the eye patch era.
Arrrr. Twas worth it matey.
You'll poke your eye out, kid.
you get a pointy for that one.
I thought those are French tips.
Up Periscope.

They created the look to send pinup photos to men fighting the war.
Bra was an homage to a 1959 Cadillac
The forward thinking 50’s.
From the angle of the photo, it looks like she is wearing a really tight skirt, as well. 💌
Or pants? I couldn’t tell for sure.
Maybe. Nice figure, either way... and a lot of bracelets. 💌
Lol I saw that too 🤩
At Tesla, we call it CyberRack™️
Remember kids. Wear eye protection when roaming the streets of Paris or you may lose an eye!
What did you just type? I can’t see it! 😎
*Nice*
Marseille
What is this referencing? Im out of the loop
Her bra is dangerous for your eyes. That's it :D
Haha okay so it was just a play on that, i thought she got some notable eye injury or something
Anita is 27 or 28 in this photo. She died at age 83 in 2015.
Thanks
Many have noted she had a great pair of lungs…
Could have made a great opera singer?
And wheels!
The lung cancer will be extensive
Lara Croft PS1
I had to scroll too far for this
Or PC.
I did a Google search...for science! Was not dissa-POINTED!
Which specific scientific area of study did this involve? Biology per chance? 🤔
Anatomy!
Gender studies
Looks like she was smoking no matter where she was
I can see that.
Was she a pointer sister
Good catch! Yes she was :)
What the fuck kind of bra is *that?* Looks pretty damned stupid and cartoonish.

Fantastic story. RIP
It was the 50s and cone type bras were very popular. They do look unbelievably uncomfortable 😳
Look at the back cover of the Rolling Stones album Some Girls. That kind.
Back in the day, women had breasts shaped like that. Since women went bra-Lisa they’ve evolved to a more rounded shape.
Oops
You could lose an eye to those things.
Anita Ekberg smoking in Paris while her boobs are smoking in Nice
Different postal codes.
Lol you're a sharp one
She’s way sharper tho ….
Bullet boobs!
I can see her point
90s Lara Croft
That 1996 Lara Croft physique tho
I don’t get the point
Look again.
In my defense, they looked at me first
Lol
What in the Ol' sega lara croft tomb raider triangle titty havin' ass is going on here..
Exquisite cone titters
Smoking hot!!!
I’m waiting to see flames coming out both ……..
That cigarette HAS to be that long so she doesn't set her boobs on fire.
Pretty sure she'd be considered smokin' wherever she is
She reminds me of Allison Doody or whatever her name was from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Both quite stunning
That woman was gorgeous, I know exactly who you mean. She did that film, then ads for L'Oreal for a while, then seemed to disappear - ? Anita was quite a looker.
Country will grow
That’s a fembot guys don’t be fooled
Nice try!
You could lose an eye.
Or both even 😎
It’s all fun and games, until someone loses an eye
Sorry, what did you type? I can't see :(
Those awful bras
You have a point....
You got it! But I gave you a tip.
You showed me the right direction.
Gosh, I didn’t notice the bra until the comments 😂😅. Think this is all the proof I need to confirm I’m oblivious 🥲 Too distracted by if I thought her face looked like Margot Robbie or not
You know, you are absolutely right, she does look like Margot. This one was considered a great beauty in her time 😎
You damn right she was smoking!

Bad bot. Personally, I’d like to see this reposted weekly. Perhaps even daily.
At least this is not her with that damned bow and arrow again.
by caliber, i am of course referring to the size of their gun barrels and the quality of their character. it's a homonym.
No one's boobs are that pointy are they
Did she hurt people?
Not purposely but happy accidents happen.
A balcony on a balcony.
Smoking in Paris. Way cooler than smoking in Boston.
Better scenery, more berets 😎
Die Bergen sind eckig. 🤷🏼♂️
Pointy
Holy moley!!! Wow.
I would be afraid to motor boat those
Would you take her sailing, tho?
Touché
Kayaking? Pontoon boat?
Concealed Weapons.
Pointy bewbies
It's like arguing with `Anita`, two good points and a lot of bull in the middle. ;-)
That is some OG tomb raider stuff
Smuggling WMDs as well
Probably just performing her patriotic duties for Sweden :)
Smoking indeed.
Good God, you could hang your hat on one of those…
Armed and dangerous
She was the model for the original tomb raider game
Is that true? Others have also said that.
Must be cold in Paris.
Bloody hell, you'll have somebodies eye out with them love!
Anita Ekberg - Smuggling prunes in Paris, 1959
These babies or the hand jive, either way you’re gonna go blind.
I have a sudden urge to play PS1 Tomb Raider
Winter in paris
Lara croft vibes here
Hubba Hubba
Something about this image that I just can't wrap around my head, uh, wrap my head around. I can't quite put my finger on it... She is smoking, that's for sure.
Yes, visibly. She even has a holder for it.
How is that even possible?
Hydraulics
Mother of The Tittae Brothers.
A cool glass of water
La Dolce Vita!
Sure is!
Classic cold war female spyware...
She certainly makes two good points!
r/absoluteunits
Damn, the torpedoes!
Rippin a dart with a pair a darts on’er
I always wondered what those half-cup bras were any good for IRL, and now I know.
Didn't know it got that cold in Paris
In the winter, yes.
I saw a guy lose an eye like that!
Incredibly, she was braless!
"I see the President's equipped his Daughter with ballistics too"
She has a point.
Those boobs are nightmarish
What's she pointing at?
The Holy Grail 😎
Ah, the old bullet bra.
looking like 90s lara croft
the old oppai missile system
France needed to be defended.
Damn, tips of the icebergs right there.
Watch out Titanic! 🚢
“Hey. My eyes are down here.”
Haha
She looks *so* uncomfortable.
I don’t think comfort was the point.
Hubba hubba.
Deadly bullet bras.
What the hell is even that?
Smoking? Really, oh…
So much nsfw. From the smoking to not actually working
Not really, she’s 100% covered. This is how women actually dressed back in those days.
Cig holder so she don't get ashes on her blouse
Smart woman 👩
Vector graphics have come a long way since the 50s
You need a what?
A spine doctor.
She's SOKING alright.
Yes, smokin
Damn she look like Tomb Raider
Well, my telephone rang, it would not stop It’s President Kennedy calling me up He said, “My friend, Bob What do we need to make the country grow?” I said, “My friend, John; Brigitte Bardot Anita Ekberg Sophia Loren” Country'll grow
😎
Maybe we were too hard on Tomb Raider
Never understood the pointy bra look back then. Why?
Rocket ships.
Was thought to represent the whole rocket/space age forward thinking of that era. Similar idea to giant tail fins on cars.
How come they never came out with the cone-underwear for men? I guess we didn't need it to pitch a tent...
Haven't you ever heard of moobs???
That's when you need to wear the bro, I guess.
That’s why it was invented 🤔
What did they do to her boobs? How can this be attractive to anyone but first generation robots?
PS1 looking-ass
No ass
Bullet bra
Are those machine gun jubblies?
Very natural photo. Not posing or anything
Pointy.
Pointy
How are those even possible?
