Based in London, Nubian Skin was founded by Ade Hassan, MBE to give women of color the nude lingerie they deserve. Ade started the brand in 2017 after she was tired of struggling to find nude undergarments that actually matched her skin. Sizes go up to 38G and 2XL. Oh, and did we mention that Lizzo, Yara Shahidi, Winnie Harlow, and Kerry Washington are all fans?

Staud was founded by L.A.-based duo Sarah Staudinger and George Augusto in 2015. The brand is all about bright colors. The team wanted to create a “high-end aesthetic at an accessible price point” and we think they totally nailed it! Pretty much every fashionable celebrity on the planet has worn Staud, including Camila Mendes, Bella Hadid, Hailey Baldwin, Selena Gomez, Reese Witherspoon, and Gigi Hadid.
