The actress says she no longer wears a bra
She first told Fleming that she was “wearing a weird leotard right now,” before then explaining to both her guest and the audience that she does not wear a bra anymore. The reveal came casually, but it immediately changed the tone of the segment.
Barrymore then unbuttoned her shirt to show Fleming that she had a beige bodysuit on underneath her outfit. The move got attention because it was bold for a daytime talk show, but it matched the playful, unfiltered tone of the conversation.
The host went on to admit that, at this stage in her life, she just does not see the point of wearing a bra anymore. For her, the issue seemed less about style and more about refusing to deal with something she finds uncomfortable.

She then told Fleming about the leotard she was wearing and said: “I wear this thing ’cause I don’t wanna wear a bra because I’m over a bra,”
“I’m too old, and I won’t wear one,” she added, as the audience laughed and her shirt stayed open.
Barrymore continued by saying: “I don’t care if these sausages fall down to my knees. I just, I’m over it, and I don’t care anymore.”
Barrymore’s earlier comments about underwear
The 49-year-old has a long history of speaking very freely about these kinds of topics. Last year, the Daytime Emmy-winning host also talked openly about her love of granny panties in another episode of the show.
Barrymore said she was a big fan of them and even placed a pair on top of her head to make the point in the most Drew Barrymore way possible. That moment had the same blend of silliness and honesty that has become part of her public style.
She explained: “I’m telling you, I like a big pair of panties.”

Previous personal admissions
Barrymore also said in 2024 that she sometimes likes going commando, though she admitted that decision came with a risk. One of her children had started trying to pants her, knowing there was nothing underneath, which turned the whole thing into another very Drew-style family confession.
She admitted that the situation made her nervous and said: “It’s a joke! But yeah, I’m like, ‘Just make sure this is an inside-the-house thing.'”
In an earlier interview with Contact Music, Barrymore also reflected on her identity and made it clear that she does not see herself as straight. That conversation added another layer to how openly she has spoken about sexuality over the years.
