Our Highlights: 

• Simple design
• Breathable cotton material
• Fun color options

Pros 

• Adjustable straps
• Comfortable fit

Our Highlights: 

• Super stretchy
• Pull-on style
• Smoothing fabric

Pros 

• Comfortable
• Shaping center stitching

Cons

Just like the bralette we mentioned above, this one is an ideal option if you’re wearing a dress that’s more casual, but don’t want the straps from your bra to show. It’s simple, comfortable and a great addition to your underwear drawer!

Best Full-Figured Bra: Elomi Charley Full Figure Underwire Plunge Bra

Our Highlights: 

• Incredibly supportive
• Fun floral details
• Plunge cut

Pros 

• Extended size range available
• Thick straps
• Smoothing sides and back

Cons

We had to include a bra in this roundup which goes beyond just a DD cup and can help anyone with a larger bust out! The sizes with this bra extends to a JJ cup, which is spectacular — and reviewers are digging how supportive it is!

Best Balconette Bra: Skarlett Blue Minx Balconette Bra

Our Highlights: 

• Beautiful lace overlay
• Sweetheart neckline
• Feminine style

Pros 

• Smoothing sides
• Demi cups
• Some colors on sale

Cons

Dresses with sweetheart necklines are best served by a bra like this one! The balconette style has lower profile cups which will perfectly hide underneath, so you don’t have to worry about it popping out.

Best Front-Closure Bra: Glamorise WonderWire® Front Close Underwire Bra

Our Highlights: 

• Easy-to-put-on style
• Fun lace details
• Incredible reviews

Pros 

• Ultra-smoothing back
• Thick supportive straps
• Extended sizing available

Cons

You don’t have to fuss around while putting on your bra if you pick up this one! It closes in the front, so it’s practically as easy as a pull-on style — and this bra happens to be super supportive if you boast a larger bust.

Best Lace Bra: Natori Feathers Underwire Contour Bra

Our Highlights: 

• Beautiful lace trim
• Deep-V plunge
• Super popular style

Pros 

• Smooth, seamless look
• See-through details
• Some colors on sale

Cons

We adore lace bras, but sometimes they don’t appear the smoothest while wearing something more fitted. With this bra, though, you get touches of lace on the trim which look totally seamless! This bra also scores extra points for having a deep-V neckline that’s preferred for plunge styles.

Best Wireless Bra: Wacoal Comfort First Wire Free T-Shirt Bra

Our Highlights: 

• Extra comfortable
• Totally seamless
• Supportive fit

Pros 

• Contoured memory foam cups
• Smoothing sides and back

Cons

Bralettes are excellent when you’re in a comfy food and don’t want to deal with underwires, but if you’re looking for a little bit more lift and shape, reach for this option! It’s wireless, but has a more contoured fit because of the way the cups are shaped.

Best Overall Push-Up: b.tempt’d by Wacoal Future Foundation Underwire Strapless Push-Up Bra

Our Highlights: 

• Bust enhancing
• Low profile cups
• Strapless style

Pros 

• Attachable straps included
• Smoothing material

Cons

Not only did we find a great everyday push-up, we found one which also happens to be strapless! The padding in the cups gives you lift to enhance the bust in a beautiful way. This is the type of bra which you can always count on for tons of different dress styles!

Best Ultra Push-Up: Victoria’s Secret Bombshel Push-Up Bra

Our Highlights: 

• Extra padded cups
• Seriously comfortable
• Great support

Pros 

• Smoothing wide sides
• Stretchy fabric
• Demi cups

Cons

Shoppers are in love with this bra because it can add an extra two cup sizes to your bust — obsessed! It’s great for smaller chests if you want to enhance your natural size, but even larger cups swoon over the “va va voom” effect this bra can offer.

Best T-Shirt Bra: Maidenform Women’s One Fab Fit T-shirt Bra

Our Highlights: 

• Great for everyday wear
• Tons of color options
• Top seller

Pros 

• Racerback style
• Front-closure design
• Lace see-through back

Cons

When brands label something as a T-shirt bra, you can assume it’s an everyday style that’s comfortable — which is exactly what this bra is! It may not be a great option for all of your dress styles, but it can give you shape, some lift and tons of support for casual frocks.

Best Bustier Bra: LIVELY Low Back Strapless Bra

Our Highlights: 

• Longline fit
• Lifting design
• Smooth back

Pros 

• Silicone gripping on the cups
• Corset-style soft boning
• Soft stretch material

Cons

With this bra, you get extra material underneath the actual bust which not provides more support, but can smooth you out for a slimmer look. Plus, it’s easy to conceal with lower-back dresses!

Best Adjustable Bra: Plusexy Women’s Multiway Bra

Our Highlights: 

• Super versatile
• Very affordable
• Simple everyday design

Pros 

• Multi-way attachable straps
• Thick molded cups

Cons

You’re essentially getting seven bras in one with this style! With all of the different ways you can fashion the straps to suit various dresses, you won’t need to add many more bras to your collection when you have this one ready to go.

Best Low Back Bra: Lunner’s Secret Wired Deep-V Plunge Low Back Bra

Our Highlights: 

• Simple, clean design
• Extra low back
• Multi-way straps

Pros 

• Adjustable
• Plunge neckline
• Affordable

Cons

We mentioned a bra which works for low back dresses, but this one has an even lower profile which is handy if you’re going practically backless! It dips down an extra four inches lower than a traditional bra, and it has a plunging neckline if you’re rocking a deep-V at the same time.

Best Sticky Bra: Niidor Adhesive Bra

 

Our Highlights: 

• Strong adhesive lining
• Cleavage-enhancing
• Ultra-smooth invisible design

Pros 

• Reusable
• Totally backless

We want to give whoever invented the concept of a sticky bra a hug — they truly come in clutch! Any type of complicated dress which doesn’t work with most bra styles will benefit from this, and we appreciate the extensive sizes available now.

Telling her story. Leah Remini has been an outspoken critic of the Church of Scientology since she left the controversial religion in 2013.

The actress was brought into the church as an 8-year-old after her mother converted. During a 2015 20/20 interview, Remini talked about her experience growing up as a Scientologist.

“The mission is to save the planet and because Scientologists view children as spiritual beings, you’re not treated as a kid. You’re given a lot of responsibility, and so your ego becomes extremely inflated,” the King of Queens alum claimed to ABC News’ Dan Harris at the time.

Remini’s decision to leave Scientology ultimately came down to her then-9-year-old daughter, Sofia. “She was getting to the age where the acclimations into the church would have to start,” the Old School actress told BuzzFeed in 2014, adding that she didn’t want to repeat her own mother’s mistakes.

“I grew up resenting my mother because she was never home. My mom thought she was doing something good; she thought she was helping the planet. That’s what the church tells you,” Remini explained. “I was saying ‘family first,’ but I wasn’t showing that. I didn’t like the message that sent my daughter.”

The New York native has never shied away from speaking publicly about her history with Scientology. In 2015, the organization fired back.

“Given Leah Remini’s insatiable desire for attention, it comes as no surprise that for two years she has been incapable of moving on with her life and remains obsessed with shamelessly exploiting her former religion in a pathetic attempt to get publicity,” a spokesperson for the Church of Scientology told Us Weekly at the time.

Despite the backlash, the Handsome actress didn’t stop talking about her experience. She penned a 2015 memoir titled Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology and produced the A&E docuseries Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.

When the Emmy-winning series concluded in 2019 after three seasons, the Church of Scientology released a statement to Us denouncing the content. “Finally, A&E pulled the plug on Leah Remini’s hate machine,” the statement read, claiming the show was full of “lies, distortions and exhortations to hate and bigotry.”

Although Remini told The Hollywood Reporter in 2019 that she wasn’t sure if making the docuseries helped her heal, she does feel a responsibility to speak out about her experiences — and about other members of the religion. When Laura Prepon left Scientology in 2021 without much fanfare, Remini was critical of how the That ‘70s Show alum handled her exit.

“For those of us who were in the public eye and who were speaking on behalf of Scientology, getting people into Scientology, I feel that we have a responsibility to do the work when we find out that none of those things we were doing was not only [not] helpful, but damaging and very harmful to people’s lives,” the “Scientology: Fair Game” podcaster said during a September 2021 interview with Daily Blast Live.

Scroll through for a timeline of Remini’s battle with the Church of Scientology over the years:

Leah Remini is proudly furthering her education after leaving the Church of Scientology in 2013.

“Two years ago, I had an eighth-grade education thanks to spending 35 years in a cult,” the King of Queens alum wrote via Instagram on Friday, June 2. “And now, at age 52, I’ve successfully finished my second year at NYU.”

Remini — who has long been outspoken against the church and its controversial teachings — added: “Undertaking this educational journey has been one of the most difficult experiences of my life. There have been days where I’ve thought about giving up. While I’m still not finished, I’m so glad I decided to dive in.”

She concluded the post with a hopeful message to her 3.6 million followers: “If you have the desire and the capacity, please remember that it’s never too late to start again.”

The two-time Emmy winner’s celeb pals were quick to congratulate her in the comments.

“Love you, babycakes,” Chelsea Handler wrote. “Proud of u always,” shared Rosie O’Donnell.

The former Scientology and the Aftermath host previously claimed the church stifled her education after eighth grade.

“Scientologists are taught that kids are no different from adults. So from a very young age I was held accountable like an adult and regularly told that anything bad that happened in my life, even things that I wasn’t responsible for, was my fault,” Remini wrote in a lengthy Twitter thread she shared in January 2022. “Even though I was just 16 at the time, I hadn’t received any sort of formal education for years. Instead, I had been working for years so that I could support myself and my family. For the last 38 years of my life, I have been living and working with an 8th grade education.”

The Exes alum continued: “L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, had a deep disdain for conventional education and since everything in Scientology is guided directly by his policies, with no room for interpretation, my education was interrupted.”

Though Remini was a teen at the time, she broke into acting in order to help save her family from financial ruin — and to be looked upon favorably in the Scientology community.

“I saw a successful acting career as a salvation. It would help me get my family out of poverty and give me a higher standing in Scientology which I truly believed was helping to save mankind,” she tweeted. “At the time, we were living in squalor with no furniture. Every spare cent we had went to Scientology for mandatory courses, sessions, and treatments. I was determined to get my family into better circumstances.”

Reflecting on her decision to enroll at New York University in her 50s, Remini wrote, “Had you told me then that I would be a student at NYU at age 51, I wouldn’t have believed it. I had big dreams back then but when I look back they were rooted in my desire to survive … I couldn’t have imagined a world in which I would be a university student at my age.”

As the New York native continues her own education, her 18-year-old daughter, Sofia, is in college as well.

“Long story … but, one of the things I’ve learned in life is that there is always time to course correct. There’s no sense in sticking to something that doesn’t work for you. In any situation. At any point in your life,” Remini, who shares Sofia with husband Angelo Pagan, wrote via Instagram in February about their daughter’s educational journey. “In August, our daughter Sofia enrolled in a college she thought was meant for her. I moved her into a dorm room and came home heartbroken to a quiet house.”

When Sofia’s first-choice university “didn’t make sense for her,” the teen left and moved back home with her parents before transferring schools. While Remini had already gone through moving her only child out of the house — and was proud of her for pursuing her educational pursuits — she didn’t expect the second go of it to hit her so hard.

“Crying, not knowing what to do with ourselves now other than looking at pictures and videos and crying some more,” the Kevin Can Wait alum shared in her Instagram post.
