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!”

Redditors have also chimed in on the sticky bra recs. One cosplayer recommends using breast tape first to give some lift, then adding nipple covers and securing clothing with fashion tape.
From the essentials in every celeb dresser’s styling kit to the sticky superstars that give your bust an extra boost, read on for the best stick-on bras, nipple covers and more adhesive support to keep on standby.

Nippies Nipple Cover

Stars like Jaime Chung recently vouched for Nippies’ bestselling nipple covers, which are also a go-to for star stylist Maeve Reilly. Made to accommodate small or large cup sizes, these silicone pasties come in six skin tones and promise to stay in place for up to 12 hours. Hollywood stylists Amanda Lim and Mickey Freeman are both fans of the brand.
Best Push-Up Sticky Bra
Nood Push Up Adhesive Bra

Ideal for small and medium busts, Nood’s backless and strapless Push Up Adhesive Bra bumps you up a cup while delivering comfortable all-day wear.
Gatherall
best Silicone bra
Gatherall Reusable Silicone Bra
Sizes: A-DD
Colors: 4
Available in cup sizes A to DD and in four skin tones, Gatherall’s reusable silicone bra is adhesive and washable. It’s best for strapless and backless silhouettes, and we love the smooth, seam-free design.
BEST LIFTING TAPE FOR LARGE BREASTS
Hollywood Fashion Secrets Breast Lift Tape
Sizes: OS
Colors: Clear
$9.80 $10.32
Celebrity stylist Venetia Kidd swears by Hollywood Fashion Secret’s Breast Lift Tape. “This product works wonders, I have a larger bust and it holds them perfectly in place all night,” she says.
Amazon
Best For Small Breasts
Wingslove Reusable Strapless Silicone Adhesive Bra
Sizes: A-E
Colors: 13
$14.14 $14.89 5% off
For a more budget-friendly option, Wingslove’s stick-on bra comes in an impressive 13 shades and up to five cup sizes. It’s an Amazon standout with nearly 10,000 reviews, and offers a subtle lift.
Amazon
Best Reusable Nipple Covers
Hollywood Fashion Secrets Silicone CoverUps
Sizes: 2
Colors: 4
$8.29 $14.99 45% off
Available in four skin tones, Hollywood Fashion Secrets’ hypoallergenic silicone cover-ups are reusable for up to 25 times. Fans love how smooth and discreet these look, thanks to the covers’ contour shape which offers an ultra-smooth appearance.
Best for dark nipples
Nippies Extra Coverage Adhesive Nipple Covers
Sizes: OS
Colors: 5
Available in five skin tone shades, Nippies’ Extra Coverage Adhesive Nipple Covers are thicker than the brand’s original silhouette, making them ideal for those with perkier or darker nipples.
Amazon
Best Budget
Depovor Super Sticky Push-Up Bra
Sizes: A-D
Colors: 2
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.
Amazon
BEST DISPOSABLE NIPPLE COVERS
Satinior Nipple Covers
Sizes: OS
Colors: 3
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
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.
Amazon
Best Nipple Covers with Lift
Fashion Forms Lift It Up Silicone Gel Petals
Sizes: A-D
Colors: 2
For that extra oomph, Fashion Forms’ lifting gel petals provides a gentle lift, and can be worn up to 25 times. Pro tip: washing between wears reactivates the adhesive.
Best for Large breasts
Nippies Lift Nipple Covers Size 2
Sizes: OS
Colors: 3
Designed for bra sizes D and up, these Nippies nipple covers (in size two) for larger breasts are made of reusable and easy to clean thin matte silicone that leaves a smooth finish.
BEST Plunge Stick-On Bra
Fashion Forms Backless U-Plunge Strapless Bra
Sizes: A-D
Colors: 1
Fashion Forms’ U-Plunge Strapless Bra is one of the best stick-on bras for backless wedding dresses with a deep plunge and other V-neck styles. It also comes with optional straps if you need an extra lift.
