Awards season may be over, but there are always occasions that require some extra support in the bust department. Whether you need a little something under that strapless bridesmaid dress or — like Kate Hudson professes — you simply don’t like wearing conventional bras, there are two Hollywood stylist-approved staples that you shouldn’t leave home without: stick-on bras (also known as “sticky bras”) and nipple covers (also known as “pasties”).

Ahead of the spring/summer event circuit, some of the best stick-on bras for wedding dresses, large breasts and small chests can save you from unintentional nip slips. Take a cue from stars and their stylists when you’re looking to pull off a stunning sheer, backless, strapless or barely-there look. More often than not, there’s a self-adhesive secret behind the scenes that’s keeping everything looking right and tight.

“For the 2022 Elle Women in Hollywood event, I styled actress Nafessa Williams in a purple Jean Louis Sabaji sheer gown,” Hollywood stylist Mickey Freeman tells The Hollywood Reporter. “Before heading out of the door, Nafessa decided that this wasn’t the event for ‘Free the Nipple,’ so I went into my styling kit for my trusty Nippies by B-Six skin adhesive petals, which saved the day!”

The best budget-friendly option we’ve found on Amazon is Depovor’s super sticky push-up bra, which is designed in the shape of a mango to create a deep-V curve. This two-pack comes with fair and black colors, so it’s a great value, too.

BEST DISPOSABLE NIPPLE COVERS

Satinior Nipple Covers

Sizes: OS
Colors: 3

$11.49 at Amazon

If you’re wearing black or a totally sheer number, sometimes the subtle sheen of skin-hued pasties are simply not the vibe. That’s where Satinior’s black flower-shaped covers step in, available in a disposable satin fabric. Bonus: this is a 50-pack for under $12, so the cost-per-wear here is an absolute steal.

Best Breast Tape Overall

Nue Breast Tape

Sizes: OS
Colors: 3

$25 at revolve

When you want to fly free but still need some support and cover, look to Nue’s sweatproof, stays-all-day breast tape, which comes in a 16.5-foot roll. (Pamela Anderson recently wore the brand’s silicone nipple covers underneath her Baywatch-inspired dress.) Founded by beauty editor Stephanie Montes, the shade-inclusive, oft-imitated brand comes in three colors and can be customized by fit, coverage and support. We also love that the company works with the Bra Recyclers and Impact One Breast Cancer Foundation to collect new and gently used bras that go to uninsured women fighting breast cancer.
