Whether you’re off to a wedding, red carpet or anywhere that calls for a strapless dress or top, chances are that you’ll need some extra support. While we love stick-on bras and nip covers, sometimes the occasion calls for a little more coverage by way of a wrap here and a snap there. This is where some of the best strapless bras, bralettes and bandeaus step in.

Stars that have recently stepped out showing off their décolletage include Hailey Bieber — who celebrated her new Rhode strawberry glaze lip treatment launch in a bright red strapless mini dress — and Kelsea Ballerini who wore a dazzling bedazzled number for Armani’s couture show in Venice.

If you’re looking to quite literally take the plunge with a low neckline garment, we’ve rounded up ten of the best strapless bras for every budget — from lingerie faves to Kim Kardashian’s go-to styles.
