What the ARIAs Taught Us: Subtle Tricks Behind Show-Stopping Looks

The ARIA Awards never disappoint when it comes to high-impact fashion. From daring cut-outs and plunging necklines to sharp tailoring and sheer gowns, Australia’s biggest music night is basically a masterclass in red-carpet dressing.

But here’s the real secret: behind every flawless outfit, there’s a toolkit of discreet styling hacks doing all the heavy lifting. While the stars are busy stealing the spotlight, Hollywood Fashion Secrets is working behind the scenes to keep everything perfectly in place.

Here’s how you can recreate the same polished, red-carpet-ready look at home – without the glam squad.

Strapless wins: sculpted, lifted, and locked in

Strapless dresses ruled the ARIAs this year, and for good reason. They’re sleek, sophisticated, and perfect for showing off shoulders – but only when they stay put.

That’s where Transparent Boob Tape helps. This genius styling hack gives instant lift and sculpting power, keeping you supported and secure under every strapless gown, bandeau top, or off-the-shoulder moment. It’s strong, flexible, and designed to move with you – meaning no constant tugging or awkward readjustments mid-event.

Pro tip: pair Boob Tape with Satin Nipple Covers for a smooth, seamless finish under lightweight fabrics. The combo creates invisible support that works even with delicate satins and soft knits.

Sheer genius: clean lines under mesh and tulle

Sheer panels, mesh sleeves, and daring cut-outs had a major moment on the ARIA carpet – and they’re just as big for party season. But these looks need clever solutions behind the scenes to keep them looking sleek, not risky.

That’s where Satin Nipple Covers step in. Perfect for soft, sheer, or lightweight fabrics, they blend invisibly under clothes, giving you coverage without any bulk or lines.

For those bolder ARIA-inspired looks – think high-shine mesh, organza overlays or deep V bodices – you can layer Nipple Covers under Transparent Boob Tape for invisible support and total confidence. Consider it your secret weapon for achieving that “how does it stay up?” magic.

Sleek tailoring: lapels that behave

Power suits had their own red-carpet moment this year, proving they’re just as show-stopping as gowns when styled right. But sharp tailoring can be tricky – especially when it comes to gaping lapels, plunging blazers, or wrap jackets that just won’t stay closed.

The solution? Hollywood Fashion Tape. These double-sided, skin-safe strips are the ultimate wardrobe whisperer, holding everything exactly where it should be. Think lapels that lie flat, deep V necklines that stay modestly secured, and wrap jackets that won’t come undone during your big entrance.

Bonus: it’s not just for clothes. Use Fashion Tape to keep accessories, belts, and even tricky straps sitting perfectly in place.

Added drama: earrings and accessories that stay put

Statement accessories were everywhere at the ARIAs – from chandelier earrings to bold, sculptural cuffs. But here’s the secret you didn’t see: Liquid Fashion Tape.

This genius, clear-drying formula works where traditional tape can’t. Got shoulder-grazing earrings that keep slipping forward? A chunky cuff that won’t stay centred? Or a plunging necklace that flips every time you move? A tiny dab of Liquid Fashion Tape locks them into place – no mess, no stickiness, and no mid-party drama.

It’s also perfect for strappy sandals, buckles, and belts that like to shift around. Basically, if it moves and you don’t want it to, Liquid Fashion Tape has your back.

Red carpet comfort: high heels without the hurt

Behind every ARIA-worthy outfit is another unspoken hero: comfort. The cameras might be focused on bold silhouettes and statement styling, but if you’ve ever worn strappy heels for six hours straight, you know the pain is real.

That’s why stylists swear by Secret Gel Cushions. Soft, discreet and designed to relieve pressure under the ball of your foot, they make standing, walking and dancing in heels so much easier. Whether it’s delicate stilettos, chunky block heels, or strappy sandals, these little lifesavers keep you looking poised – not pained – all night long.

How to get the ARIA look at home

The ARIA carpet may be reserved for the stars, but these tricks are designed for everyone. Whether you’re heading to a summer wedding, New Year’s Eve party, or rooftop cocktails with friends, you can recreate the same polished, red-carpet-ready finish with just a few key products:

●     Boob Tape: Instant lift and sculpt for strapless, backless, or plunge dresses.

●     Silicone & Satin Nipple Covers: Invisible coverage under sheer, silky, or lightweight fabrics.

●     Liquid Fashion Tape: Perfect for jewellery, accessories, and fiddly outfit fixes.

●     Gel Cushions: All-day, all-night comfort in any pair of heels.

With these in your arsenal, you don’t need a stylist to nail the perfect summer party look – just a little insider knowledge and the right products.

The secret stars of the show

While the dresses, jumpsuits and power suits might grab all the attention, it’s the subtle styling tricks behind the scenes that make red-carpet dressing look effortless. The ARIAs taught us that the tiniest details – a perfectly secured strap, a flawless neckline, a comfortable shoe – make the biggest difference.

And the best part? You don’t need an invite to an awards show to try them. Hollywood Fashion Secrets puts stylist-approved hacks right in your hands, so you can feel just as confident and put-together at your next big event.
