No more awkward sweat patches! The unusual $8 item celebrities wear on the red carpet to prevent unsightly underarm stains
- Being on a red carpet is generally quite a nerve wracking experience for celebs
- And when the ladies wear a long sleeved dress they are at risk of sweat stains
- Stylist Britt Theodora said an easy fix is to use shoulder pads or bra cup liners
- They can be sewn into the underarm area to soak up any unwanted sweat
Award ceremonies are as stressful and nerve wracking as they are exciting.
For those ladies wearing sky-high heels and shorter hemlines it’s a constant battle between looking composed and avoiding a wardrobe malfunction in front of spectators on the red carpet.
But one stylist had a handy trick for ladies wanting to avoid any dreaded sweat stains, the most unpleasant of situations while in the spotlight, suggesting that an $8 pad could solve this potential worry.

Britt Theodora spoke to Who What Wear about celebrities using shoulder pads or the cups that come inside the lining of a bathing suit top as a quick fix.
‘They are a great last-minute thing to add if a client is worried about underarm sweat showing and there isn’t enough time to run to a wardrobe supply store,’ she told the publication.
‘The shape can easily fit under the armpit and you can always cut it down to be the right shape.’

The trick is particularly useful for silk fabrics which show moisture easily, but are less helpful when it comes to shorter sleeves or white gowns

You’ll need to be pretty handy with a sewing machine though, because stylists ensure the pads are fastened with a needle and thread.
Other ways to reduce sweat is to choose a ‘breathable’ fabric like cotton and wear pastel colours over neon varieties.
For $12 you can purchase ‘sweat shields’ which work in the same way the pads do, but they are designed to be more absorbent (Jessica Hart pictured)

Otherwise some women swear by men’s deodorants as the cure-all to the problem.
On the red carpet sometimes it’s best to do as the models do and opt for black, which the majority of time, won’t show the markings at all.
