  Bras Thursday 8 May 2003  
When a group of young performers from Coronation Street appeared at the Bafta awards with their bra straps dangling there was a flurry of condemnation in the press.

Which was a little strange really because they were only following a trend set by Nicole Kidman 2 years ago.
So what is the etiquette with the bra strap these days - is it only stylish if you're an A list movie star and not if you're a working class lass from Manchester?
Kathryn Flett, TV critic for the Observer Review and Imelda Whelahan, Professor of English and Women's studies at De Montfort University in Leicester join Jenni to discuss.
