Fann Wong’s plunging neckline with cut-outs
To look as good as Fann in a neckline that low with potential side boob, you'll need the magical help of sliicone nipple covers and Hollywood Fashion Tape. Tape the parts of your dress that you don't want to move to your sides and down the neckline to prevent accidental nip-slips. Use the silicon nipple covers to prevent them from poking through your dress.

Charlize Theron’s nude illusion
Have a dress like Charlize's? The deep V neckine is low enough to reveal cleavage but not brazen enough to show it all off. Get the support and division you need with a U-shaped plunging bra. It gives the best support and defined shape you need.

Julianne Moore’s racerback
Found on many casual dresses as well, this flattering neckline creates the illusion of a bigger bust and slimmer arms. To ensure no ugly bra straps poke out from under this neckline, invest in a racer back bra. Or a more economical bra clip which can convert your regular bras into a cross-back one.

Lupita Nyong’o’s tube dress
The tube dress or top is the quintessential neckline for women. If you're lucky the dress would come with built-in cups, but if it doesn't, use a bandeau bra with removal straps, preferably with underwires for support if you're above a B cup.

Sarah Hyland’s low cut back
The right bra is not only for creating cleavage. It plays a part in low back dresses as well. Avoid unsightly bra bands peeking out from your bustier dress with a low back bra. The bands fasten a little lower on your back and usually have a bustier front as well.

Sofia’s toga sweetheart neckline
If you have a dress with a neckline like this, a bra with one strap removed will not do. For ample support and a flattering silhouette, opt for a silicon stick-on bra. Lift your breast up and stick the silicon underneath with an upwards angle. This helps lift the bust and create support.

To help you conquer that cleavage baring dress, we have put together a quick guide to the right bra to place your twin peaks front and centre.

Bras are like frenemies, they give a girl support where it counts but it can also be a huge pain in the neck when it comes to finding the appropriate one.

The ideal bra is almost like an army general, dividing and separating while lifting the girls up, but what if your outfit doesn’t allow you to wear a conventional bra? Plunging necklines and backless dresses seem to be the trend as seen during awards season so we’re pretty sure you’re itching to put one on for an upcoming party.

To help you conquer the dress, we have put together a quick guide to the right bras that’ll place your twin peaks front and centre.

Now you can emulate those stunning red carpet looks without wardrobe mishaps – no one wants that!
