16 Underpinnings To Get You Red Carpet Ready

by Shannon Nash

Rachel Zoe Studio is on a different level when it comes to styling gorgeous gowns for the red carpet. Their expertise is especially fine-tuned when it comes to the underpinning department, which is the secret behind getting invisible panty lines, avoiding wardrobe malfunctions and pulling off a strapless backless dress. If you’ve found the perfect frock for an upcoming wedding or event, but are having trouble getting the right bra, slip or panties – look no further, we’ve got your back!

Underpinnings To Swear By

Lifesaving Bras

If you have a halter or a racer back dress, find a convertible bra that has straps that can be worn around the neck or crisscrossed. For a plunging neckline, find a style that has a low connecting wire which leaves the chest bare. The best bet for a backless dress is a self-adhesive backless bra.

Smoothing Panties

Some fabrics are more prone to revealing panty lines than others which is why investing in seamless boy shorts, briefs and thongs is essential to avoid a last minute panic. For especially clingy or sheer fabric, slipshorts guarantee a smooth and finished look.

Full Coverage

For a bodycon cocktail dress or tight satin gown, a one piece bodysuit will smooth the fabric so you look polished from all angles.

Polished Camis

A simple cami or tank should be in everyone's wardrobe to wear with a transparent sundress or sheer blouse. For a plunging neckline or a backless halter, try doing an all-in-one layer.

Tricks Of The Trade

If you have these underpinnings on hand at your next fancy event, you'll be able to convert a regular bra into a racer back, avoid TMI with the no-bra look and defy gravity for an appreciated lift.
