This spring's cutout trend – a look that Kim Kardashian flaunted in late January at a Paris Week fashion show – appears to have combined forces with the metallics trend.

The result? Chainmail, baby!

Before her big win at Sunday night's Grammy Awards, Miley Cyrus majorly turned heads on the red carpet in a gold safety pin dress for a sassy punk-meets-glam rock moment.

On Monday, actor Megan Fox posted a similar chainmail-inspired look on Instagram.

While fans were divided on the lewk in Megan's comments section – one person called the look "MGK coded" after her boo's similar affinity for the chain-clad style – at least the fit got people talking.

But while the armored aesthetic looks sizzling in photos, it may make for a risqué ride on the struggle bus.

Chainmail and mesh fashion: Hot or not?

The biggest practical issue with the mesh trend is, of course, the threat of wardrobe malfunction.

Case in point: All these celebs had to strategically obscure their private parts to avoid too much controversy. Megan looks to have used pasties, while Miley and Kim's dresses have a bit of added coverage in the – ahem – necessary areas.

All three women also appear to be posing strategically in order to keep all of their bits and bobs present and accounted for.

Doing this routine for a photo shoot is one thing, but to keep track of your most minute body movements all night long at a public function with cameras around sounds downright exhausting – not to mention stressful!

What do you think of the risqué new trend? Is it serving hot, or not?
