Shapewear will never be the most attractive undergarments—cue Bridget Jones swatting away Daniel Cleaver from gawping at her control-top panties—but at least Spanx are making an effort to look less frumpy. Detailed with lacy designs and metallic lining, Spanx’s Haute Contour undergarments are actually pretty, which is practically unheard of for thigh-shapers and tummy-squeezers. The camisoles and thongs still look rather old-fashioned—but we wouldn’t fight Hugh Grant too hard from seeing them. [Spanx Haute Contour]

Okay, but isn’t the point of Spanx and other control-wear is that it can be “hidden” under clothes? I can hardly see myself being able to wear anything made of jersey, for example, without that showing through. And who said control-wear had to be pretty? It’s supposed to be functional.

Spanx will never be sexy. But that’s okay, because when I throw on a slinky LBD and 4 inch heels, I look damn sexy in them.
I remember on Valentines Day my boyfriend took me out to a really nice restaurant, and while we showered together beforehand I refused to let him watch me get dressed because I needed to slither into my shapewear. I walked into the living room when I finished, where he was waiting, and his jaw DROPPED. He couldn’t keep his eyes off me all night, or his hands off me once we got home. Luckily, I bought lingerie for the evening, so I had an excuse to “freshen up” after dinner and he was never the wiser to my wily ways. He still raves about how amazing I looked that night. Spanx: they work miracles.
