J Lo wears Spanx, too – here are five of the best control pants on the high street
It’s official – J Lo wears Spanx.
Judging by her recent ab-baring look at the CFDA Fashion Awards, J Lo hasn’t got an inch to pinch anywhere on her toned frame.
Yet, we were surprised as any to learn the star wears Spanx to create a clean line under clothing, just like us regular people.
J Lo wore a pair of tan control underwear underneath her salmon-coloured Chanel midi-dress while walking with fiancé Alex Rodriguez in Miami, according to US publication Page Six.
