Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie

Underwear oops

Underwear Oops

    Bra straps showing? Visible panty lines? Muffin top?
    As the following celebrity examples illustrate, even a picture perfect outfit can be ruined by the wrong undergarments. But these common "undies oops" are easily avoided. Melissa Foss shows what you can learn from these stars' foundation faux pas.

    VPL- Visible Panty Lines
    Alert: Always check your rear view in a 3-way-mirror! Even a skinny minnie, fashion-forward celeb like Teri Hatcher isn't immune. While thongs have a reputation for curtailing this issue, it's actually the under-rated boy shorts that prevent a VPL catastrophe.

    Flynet

    "Boy shorts were invented to solve this problem," says Heide Kennedy, stylist for the chic sample sale site, Savvy (www.Savvy.com). Choose a pair that are smooth, not lacy, to sport under workout gear, skirts, pants, and even jeans. You think you look good arriving? Now you know you look great leaving too.

    The "SAG" awards - Get A Little Support For Your Friends
    No woman, actress or otherwise, dreams about winning a "sag." See Drew Barrymore, who, inexplicably, decided to go au naturale for an awards show (the Golden Globes, actually. Insert joke here).

    Imagine the silhouette she could have cut if only she was wearing the right bra. "This is an easy problem to solve as any under-wired support bra -- whether plunge, tee shirt or balcony style -- will create lift and support." advises Francesca Luther, Creative Director for lingerie store Myla

    Too-Much-Info Undies
    It's no secret that Paris has longstanding undie issues. Here's some advice: When it comes to low-rise jeans, a little mystery goes a long way.

    To avoid the low-rise "oops" (so you can lean over without fear), try the go-to undies Hollywood loves. They're designed to sit lower on the hip and have a 3.5 inch rise (which covers the important bits, but not much more). Cameron Diaz is a fan.

    The Roll No One Wants To Serve
    A muffin top is the result of a too tight pair of pants meeting a not too taut torso, and the condition is exacerbated when your top is also tight, or not quite long enough. It's a fashion foul that Kelly Clarkson has been called on repeatedly.

    The goal: To under-emphasize your muffin and make you feel comfortable even in today's trendy shorter jackets. Check out Yummie Tummie tank tops. Wear them under fitted tops - they won't cling, they're extra long to conceal trouble spots, and they also have a subtle built-in spandex tummy panel. And they're now available in plus sizes!

    The Peek-A-Boo Bra
    Gwen Stefani (here with KIngston) can get away with showing off her funky leopard bra underneath a top that has tiny little ties for straps but back here in the real world, bra baring tops -- no matter how cute -- are better saved for hanging out in the backyard.

Stop bra straps from slipping with The Strapper

Filed under: Accessories, Swimwear and Lingerie


Even if Carrie Bradshaw made it work for her, we don't want our bra straps showing. And considering most of our bras straps don't fit exactly like the straps of our tank tops and dresses, it's difficult to avoid.

Of course, we could buy a bra specifically made for each type of top we wear, but that gets expensive and complicated, fast. No, we want an easier (and cheaper) solution, and we think we found it in The Strapper.

Dita Von Teese on underwear and vintage clothes

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie, Celebrities with Style


We were all excited when we heard that Dita Von Teese is partnering with Wonderbra to create a line of lingerie inspired by 40s and 50s underwear styles. It will be available any day now, and the suspense is killing us!

Dita knows a thing or two about anticipation, and keeping the fires stoked. In this video (pretty much safe for work) we catch a couple of glimpses of her wearing the new line, and swinging on a giant black bra (it will make sense when you see it.)

Even more exciting for us, she talks about someday maybe bringing out a line of vintage dress reproductions based on her fabulous personal collection. We would stand in line for days to get our hands on a copy of that green dress she wore to The Changeling premiere at Cannes. And if she does shoes, too? Thunk! (That was the sound of us swooning.) Even if they were wicked expensive, we'd sell our plasma if necessary! Please, some designer out there, do this with her!

In the gallery, a few of her gorgeous in gowns.

Mode Merr's Doll Bras - an 11 on the crazy scale

Filed under: Accessories, Swimwear and Lingerie

WTF?Doll Bras are not bras for your doll. Doll Bras are bras with doll heads surrounded by brightly colored marabou on the cups. It's like wearing little, creepy-yet-playful lions instead of, oh i don't know, a shirt.

Mode Merr must be out of their gone minds. And people don't seem to notice! Click here for a gallery of people wearing faces on their breasts on purpose.

You probably know how we feel about faces on belts.

Faces on breasts?

Erica Hubbard at the premiere of The Women - Stylefoul!

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes



Erica Hubbard is hanging out on the red carpet at the premiere of The Women, blithely unaware that the Boob Police are about to descend on her.

Officer Andy Dick is hiding behind a bush, waiting for the right moment to jump out and use those two boob handles to yank down her dress.

Officer Tim Gunn is hiding behind a different bush, waiting for the right moment to jump out and yank the boob handles up to cover that rhinestone-encrusted strapless bra.

It could be worse. Last week Keira Knightly was confetti'd by the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Again.

Wow, how special. As if women didn't have to try hard enough to be perfect and perky in every way, now there's a new trend in the you're-not-good-enough-as-you-are industry -- bras made specifically for your butt.
