This top-rated tape was the secret to Misty Copeland’s plunging Met Gala after-party look

Wardrobe malfunctions have met their match.

Hours after walking the Met Gala 2026 red carpet in a two-piece Michael Kors look— and co-hosting the star-studded evening — Misty Copeland changed into a plunging minidress for the Saint Laurent after-party.

And while the style’s V-shaped neckline nearly reached her belly button, the ballet icon stayed supported thanks to a trusted Hollywood styling secret: Cakes Tape.

Unlike most fashion tapes, the reusable stick-on solution is made from medical grade silicone. It’s designed to provide additional lifting and shape — while warding off any unwanted style snafus, of course.

The tape is sold in three different colors, all of which come in easy-to-use, pre-cut strips that fit like a second skin.

Copeland’s not the only star reaching for the quick fix; Karlie Kloss used the same tape for the Met Gala red carpet, while Coco Jones and Julia Fox have both paired Cakes’ styling solutions with equally daring designs in recent months.

And celebrity stylists aren’t alone in their love for the stuff, as Cakes Tape has also earned great reviews from hundreds of shoppers.

“Putting on this tape was so easy to do and incredibly supportive. It stayed for a long time,” one wrote, while a second shopper said the strips “truly mold right to your skin.”

In addition to the upgraded fashion tape, the brand’s Sticky Circles nipple covers and adhesive Cleavage Bra are also hits with customers.

The classic covers top The Post’s list of the best sticky bras, with reporter Emma Sutton-Williams writing: “The way it’s designed creates a gentle grip without it ever hurting, even for people with sensitive skin, such as myself.”

If Cakes sounds familiar, it might also be because the founders once appeared on “Shark Tank” — and secured an investment from Emma Grede, co-founder of Skims and Good American.

It’s safe to say this is just the beginning for the brand.
