Bafta TV Awards — How to wear daring frocks without mishaps with boob tape tips
CELEBS turned heads in daring low-cut frocks at Sunday’s TV Baftas.
But fashion fans wondered how they avoided the dreaded wardrobe mishap.
- Secret Tape, £8, and nipple covers, £6, both
The secret is simple – boob tape.
Follow our style hack guide and take the plunge in a party dress this summer.
Model Isadora Amorim, 27, from London, puts an £8 breast tape to the test and gives her verdict on the celeb style.
Susanna Reid, 48
THE Good Morning Britain presenter looked stylish in her sheer and embellished neckline.
Step 1: Place the tape vertically over the breast, starting underneath, going over the nipple and finish at the top, pushing up and in as you go.
Step 2: Repeat the action for each side, leaving the middle clear for cleavage.
Isadora says: “This one is actually quite comfortable.
“It keeps my bust in place and minimises the risk of any wardrobe malfunctions. Plus, I don’t feel restricted in it.”
Jodie Comer, 26
KILLING Eve’s Bafta queen Jodie had a style to die for with this asymmetric neckline gown.
Step 1: Begin by applying under the armpit and stretching up to the shoulder to create a lift.
Step 2: Apply tape to opposite breast by placing diagonally across body, pushing the breast in as you go.
Step 3: Secure at the same point on the shoulder as the previous strip.
Step 4: Finish off with a strap across the body underneath the breasts for extra support, and place over nipple covers.
Isadora says: “This one really defines the shape of my boobs and makes sure they’re going to stay in place and look their best. They have far more support than if I wore a regular strapless bra.”
Keeley Hawes, 43
THE Bodyguard star definitely needed an escort in this strapless neckline dress.
Step 1: Start with tape under bust for a slight lift, apply from bottom of your armpit and stretch horizontally across the body, finishing at the other armpit.
Step 2: Keep bust in its natural position as you go.
Isadora says: “My boobs aren’t going anywhere – they’re going to stay firmly in place all night long, even when I hit the dancefloor.”
Charlotte Hawkins, 43
SUSANNA’S fellow GMB presenter wore this structured plunge style.
Step 1: To keep your bust in place in a low-cut, structured neckline, tape from under the armpit, horizontally across the breast, finishing just past the nipple. Repeat on the other side.
Step 2: Create cleavage by taping diagonally from under the armpit and into a point on the torso.
Isadora says: “This has pushed my boobs together to create a nice firm cleavage.
“Surprisingly it’s really comfortable and feels like everything is where it should be.”
Maya Jama, 24
TV and radio DJ Maya shimmered in a push-up neckline.
Step 1: Start at the side of the rib cage and cross the tape over to the opposite breast.
Step 2: Push the breast up from underneath and finish off with tape under the armpit.
Step 3: Repeat on the other side to make a cross shape, creating a more defined cleavage.
Isadora says: “This look is quite uncomfortable – I couldn’t imagine spending the whole night like this. But the support is so good. It really adds volume to my chest.”
Rochelle Humes, 30
TV host Rochelle hit the red carpet in a super low-plunge neckline frock.
Step 1: Start with the tape under the breast, push the breast up and apply tape, reaching to the shoulder.
Step 2: Repeat on the other side – leaving a gap for cleavage.
Isadora says: “My boobs have been lifted so well here, there’s no chance of them moving.
“This is great for plunge dresses that are usually difficult to find undies for.”
