| |
| In the beginning, nipple slips mostly happened on fashion catwalks when designs became looser and more daring in the [[1990s]].{{Fact|date=September 2008}} In the following years and with the expansion of the internet, more and more pictures of [[celebrity]] nipple slips circulated, either shot by paparazzi or at official events. The pictures, though often of poor quality, were sought-after and popular, especially when showing [[glamour models]] or other persons who generally did not model nude.

| The [[2000s]] have seen the creation of whole websites dedicated to nipple slips, and many [[celebrities]] and [[porn stars]] have deliberately provoked nipple slips by wearing daring clothes with deep cleavage. Many of them also started to openly wear [[transparent]] clothing in public, knowing that their breasts would be visible.
