The Fergie World Cup performance was outshone by one thing--Fergie's own outfit. Fergie Ferg wore an embellished leotard with Michael Jackson-esque shoulders, and we can't forget the claw fingers. Glamazon to the max.

The crazy one-piece was created by Indian designers Shane and Falguni Peacock.

What did you think about the Fergie World Cup performance? Love it or leave it?

**Implications** - Though it is reserved for only the bravest of fashionistas, the [leotard is definitely making a comeback](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-is-art). This pantsless one-piece may be reminiscent of your days in ballet class; however, the leotard bears a much more grown-up aesthetic this time around. The modern-day leotard is a symbol of sensuality and power, worn only by the most daring.
