We’ll always obsess over what celebrities are wearing on red carpets at big events. It’s why interviewers always ask which designer they’re wearing as their first question. It is important to understand who created fashion art. But what we don’t think about quite as much is what’s creating the base of these looks — a.k.a. What bra are these stars wearing and what type of bra?

Some women opt to go without bras or have built-in support. But Maidenform is the bra brand that makes the most appearances on the red carpet. Celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger once revealed that this T-shirt bra is often the go-to pick — even if you can’t see it!

It’s amazing!

Erlanger has a stellar client list, including Meryl Streep, Lupita Nyong’o, Anya Taylor-Joy, Venus Williams, Constance Wu, Diane KrugerYou can find out more. What happens when they walk into her office to fit red carpet bras? “I keep my office stocked with an array of affordable but sturdy nude bras,” Erlanger revealed to Yahoo. “Maidenform bras are absolutely flawless both in classic T-shirt styles and strapless styles. They are durable, seamless, and have incredible stretch. These bras are my go-to pick for clients who want a comfortable and unnoticeable option.”

As you can see, just because you’re wearing a couture gown, that doesn’t mean you can’t opt for a T-shirt bra underneath — though this one would obviously be great for everyday life too!

This smooth bra is made of soft, seamless fabric and can be worn under clothing. The underwire cups can be adjusted to fit your curves with the stretchy, contouring fabric. There’s a double hook-and-eye closure in back, but the shoulder straps are definitely one of our favorite parts. They’re adjustable in front instead of in back so you don’t need to contort your body to adjust them (or slip the straps off and guesstimate how loose or tight to make them)!

Whether there’s a red carpet appearance in your future or you’re simply strutting through the fallen red leaves on the sidewalks of your town, this bra is the way to go. We recommend getting one for yourself for the holidays. Who would’ve guessed it would be so affordable?
