Body shapers (or "body slimmers" as many would call them) are the essentials that at least 90% of Hollywood celebrities wear to look slim and trim on the Red Carpet and in photo shoots.

According to People Jessica Alba admits, "“I wore SPANX under my Fantastic Four costume. I love them! Spanx are the only thing that smoothes out all of my lumps and bumps.”"

I mean who are we trying to kid, most of them really don't have perfect bodies ;-). They all need some form of touch-up. Most of their image is an illusion which you can achieve yourself!

In fact, I believe a gal should at least have one or two body shapers in her wardrobe for special occasions. And for when you want to fit in your pants during you know, when it's the time of the month.

Luckily, body slimmers today are more versatile, comfortable, discreet and stylish. Compare that to the heavy corsets and grandma-looking girdles way back in the old days! No need to worry about being squeezed in shapewear.

Most body shapers are made of Spandex which is fabric that "compresses" your body as well as letting it breathe and move around.
