Your Bra Strap Is Showing
Your Bra Strap Is Showing is a two-panel redraw meme where a character tells a girl her bra strap is showing, and she responds by lifting her shirt to expose the whole bra. The format started as a 2017 Reddit post but became a widespread X / Twitter redraw trend in June 2026.
Overview
Your Bra Strap Is Showing is a two-panel redraw meme where a character points out that a girl's bra strap is showing, only for the girl to respond by lifting her shirt and revealing her whole bra1. The punchline plays on a wildly disproportionate response to a minor observation, and the simple two-panel beat makes it easy for artists to swap in any character or OC4.
The earliest known example came from a 2017 Reddit post that used a still from the indie film Ashby1. The format then sat mostly dormant until X artist @nightguardlover posted a webcomic version in early June 2026, which kicked off a wave of redraws across X / Twitter3. Within days, dozens of artists were posting their own takes, with the most-liked entries pulling well over 100,000 likes each7.
The trend lived almost entirely on X during its first week. Most contributors were artists with existing OCs or fan-characters, and the format gave them a quick, recognizable joke to slot their designs into5.
How It Spread
How to Use This Meme
Artists typically draw a two-panel comic. In the first panel, one character casually tells another, "your bra strap is showing". In the second, the recipient lifts her shirt and reveals the full bra, making the original comment look pointless. The format works as a vehicle for OCs, recognized characters from games and anime, and self-insert jokes. Most redraws keep the dialogue identical and let the character design, pose, and expression carry the gag. Some artists tweak the exact phrasing or add an exaggerated reaction shot, but the two-panel beat stays the same. The format suits artists with established characters they want to show off, which is part of why OC posts dominated the trend's first week.
