Spring is officially here — and so is dress season. Whether you need a little extra support under that strapless bridesmaid dress or – as Kate Hudson recently stated – you just don’t like wearing conventional bras, there are two staples you shouldn’t leave home: adhesive bras (aka “sticky bras” ) and nipple covers (also known as “pasties”).
Stars don’t just step out and let it all hang out — especially in those gorgeous sheer, backless, strapless, and barely-there red carpet dresses. More often than not, there’s an adhesive secret behind the scenes that keeps everything looking nice and clean.
From the essentials in every celebrity dresser’s styling kit to the tacky superstars that give your bust an extra boost, read on for the best adhesive bras, nipple covers and more adhesive support to keep on standby.

3. Satin nipple covers
BEST DISPOSABLE NIPPLE COVERS
If you’re wearing black or a very sheer number, sometimes the subtle sheen of skin-toned pasties just isn’t the vibe. That’s wear Satinoir’s black flower-shaped covers step in, available in a disposable satin fabric. Bonus: This is a pack of 50 for under $15, so the cost-per-wear here is an absolute steal.

4. Now A Boob Job On The Go
BEST BREAST TAPE
If you want to fly free but still need some support and coverage, check out Nue’s sweat-resistant chest strap, which comes in a handy travel-friendly kit that includes nine feet of pre-cut strips in three lengths. (Pamella Anderson worn recently the brand’s silicone nipple covers under her Baywatchinspired dress.) Founded by beauty editor Stephanie Montes, the shade-inclusive brand comes in three shades and can be customized based on fit, coverage, and support. We also love that the company is partnering with the Bra Recyclers and the Impact One Breast Cancer Foundation to collect new and gently used bras that go to uninsured women battling breast cancer.
