With a new season of Sex Education, came the rise of a new fan-favorite character. Ruby Matthews. We're all obsessed with Ruby and can't get enough of everything from her attitude to her fashion—and the undeniable ability to pull off a seriously cool outfit. 

However there's one piece, in particular, that everyone is talking about, and it's a yellow bra. Undoubtedly one of the best bralettes we've ever seen, Ruby in said bra sent the internet—and us—into meltdown.

If you haven’t seen Sex Education season three, what is your excuse? It gave us everything we needed and more.

Ruby (Mimi Keene) and Otis (Asa Butterfield), after a summer fling, go from casual, secret sex to official boyfriend and girlfriend, and during these steamy scenes the only thing on our minds was, how to get that bralette. 

It’s caused quite the frenzy on Twitter (almost as when we found out the Sex Education season 4 news), with users desperately wanting her yellow bra. One wrote: "we’re all wanting to know where ruby’s yellow bra is from, right? #sexeducation”

Another tweeted: “I NEED ruby’s yellow bra… I’m not kidding I will do anything”

And a third: “I’m still thinking about Ruby’s yellow bra. I need that.”
