As celebrities embrace the Free the Nipple movement, how to stylishly pull off going braless in public without exposing it all
Emily Ratajkowski, Doja Cat and Rita Ora are just some of the stars who freed the nipple at the Met Gala last night.
Like it or not, the revealing look has become somewhat mainstream on the red carpet at the rebellious tailors.
However, in real life, this isn’t the most accepted (or safest) option if you have a trendy sheer look.

Doja Cat left nothing to the imagination and went nipple covering free under sheer ensembles
Emrata, Rita Ora and Doja Cat left nothing to the imagination as they released nipple coverage under sheer ensembles at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
However, Phoebe Dynevor tastefully delivered a peek-a-boo look in a custom light and flowing Victoria Beckham gown for this year’s Met Gala theme, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.
Being the first to wear a VB design to the big event was an honor that the actress and ‘Bridgerton’ star (a Spice Girls fan since childhood) did not take lightly.
“It looks like something out of a fairytale,” said the natural beauty.
The semi-sheer masterpiece featured hundreds of hand-carved flowers hand-stitched onto delicate tulle and vintage lace.
Designed to be worn without anything underneath, built-in floral patches were strategically placed beneath the first layer covering her modesty.
To achieve this look at home with ‘awkward’ outfits, always have a pair of nipple covers on hand.

Pasties are the secret weapon for real women who want to go braless but still want to cover their nipples.
Plunge shirts, dropped armholes, backless dresses and semi-sheer fabrics can all benefit from nipple covers.
While the round, sticky adhesives don’t provide the same kind of support as a bra, they do offer other benefits.
Traditional styles are created for smooth, undetectable coverage and sometimes lift, in a range of skin tones.
But covering up doesn’t have to be boring! Brands like Tita offer self-adhesive, ultra-thin silicone patches in fun shades and colors that are designed to be seen.

“Nipple covers are often seen as practical or necessary underwear, but who says they can’t be fun?” asks Martha Upton, founder of Tita
“Nipple shields are often seen as practical or necessary underwear, but who says they can’t be fun?” asks Martha Upton, founder of Tita.
Adding: ‘They can also be worn under sheer clothing, whether they are subtly sheer, or really the star of the outfit.
‘Because Titas are made to be seen, but seamless enough to remain hidden, you can wear them in so many ways. ‘
Fashionable nipple covers can also be worn in place of traditional underwear.
‘It’s the same reason lace bras or lingerie were invented. Whether anyone sees it, you feel so much more put together and attractive when you wear those things.”
