Oscars 2010: What kind of bra did she wear?!

The gowns are hot, the makeup & hair is fabulous...but my mamma always told me its whats inside that counts! The lingerie is a key ingredient to every outfit, and it can really make or break the most beautiful & expensive gowns. As always at the Oscars, the celebrities brought out their big guns and here are our favourites, and the bra's they might have worn.

Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab Couture Spring 2010 collection.

I love the soft/faded colours on her- they really suit her complexion. The draping on the bodice and ruching make this full length chiffon gown more glam.  The perfect bra for this gown is a ultimate strapless like the one below by Wonderbra. This bra is perfect as it is sculpted & elastic so one doesn't have to worry about nipple alerts and sagging, plus its smooth and clean finish makes it virtually invisible under clothes.

Sigourney Weaver in Lanvin.

I love it when older women dress appropriately and not try to re-live their youth in their outfits. The draping and the red looks fabulous on her, with the encrusted jewels on the shoulder and the always fashionable bow that gives the dress an empire waist line. The perfect bra for this outfit would be the Wonderbra Multi Plunge Bra, as one can adjust the strap in the direction of cut of the dress, and still get the full support you need.

Meryl Streep in Chris March.

Elegant is the only word that justifies how fantastic she looks. White is such a hard colour to pull off as it can either drain you of all colour or make you look like a bride, non of which has happened in this case. The plunging neckline and front split of this dress give her a touch of sexy without going over the top. She has kept on trend with the shoulder pads and minimal jewellery. I would suggest wearing a Fashion Forms U-Plunge Bra which is perfect for wearing with tops/dresses with plunging necklines.

Kate Winslets in YSL.

Very statue-esque in this strapless metallic dress with a fitted bodice that cuts at her waist so perfectly. Not a fan of the bottom of the dress as I feel it could have been more fitted or had more draping, or something to make it POP more! But who gives a shizzz when she's rocking a 2.5 million doLLA necklace from Tiffany's (bitch!..haa) & nonetheless she looks beautiful. I would suggest wearing a bra like the Felina Hint Of Skin strapless bra because it is seamless so that it doesn't affect the structure of the bodice, and also because the bodice looks pretty snug on her, its providing her with extra support.

Miley Cyrus in Jenny Packham.

How old is she? 16/17?? However old she is, she is dressed appropriately for her age. Notice a BIG trend? Remember inner wear for outer wear?!? The metallic champagne colour of the dress suits her, and I love that she pulled her hair up and wore little jewellery with this look. The D&G inspired corset is perfect for her because she has small boobs, but the cut gives her a lil more ooomppf. This is perfect for ladies with smaller boobs, as you can probably get away without wearing a bra.

Zoe Saldana in Givenchy Couture Spring 2010 collection.

First things first, the colour! The shadow-dyed transition in colour is spectacular and the designer has given us almost 2 dresses in one. From the crystal bodice to the flamenco inspired gown. The layers upon layers of tulle made this dress one of my favourites, because not that many people could pull off this couture gown. Whoever is dressing her-BRAVA! Hmmm, Zoe isn't exactly top heavy so i would imagine that she could get away with not wearing a bra, but I would suggest maybe wearing one because the dress looks heavy which might pull the top half down a bit. The perfect bra for this type of dress is the Hanro Sensual Bandeau Bra, as it is seamless and thin, plus its perfect for women that have smaller boobs but need something to cover up the nipples and give you a lil more ooommppf in that section.

Diane Kruger in Chanel Couture Fall 2009.

This seasons nude trend looks great on Diane. Since this dress is a low cut & backless and the fabric makes it hard to hide any nipples, the perfect bra would either be the 'Very Sexy' 100-way bra (1) by Victoria Secret or the Fashion Forms Seamless push-up "Nu" Bra (2).

 

Elizabeth Banks in Versace.

The fabulous dusty-blue/gray colour and ruffles of this dress adds to the softness and gives her a look of old Hollywood glam. I love this dress, and I think I would look great on any complexion. The best type of bra for this is one that falls low on the back and front, but low enough to give the perfect amount of cleavage. I would suggest the Wonderbra Ultimate strapless bra as it has been made to give you a fabulous cleavage and support.
