Gwyneth Paltrow’s Red-Hot Leggings Are From an Oprah-Favorite Brand
Gwyneth Paltrow's Instagram has everything I need, including frank Q&As, supper recipes, and, of course, fashion inspiration. The actress' monthly clothing roundups have become something I actually look forward to seeing, and while I admit I want everything in her most recent post, one look in particular piqued my interest: her red-hot Spanx training set.
It's difficult not to be lured in by a monochrome, chili-red 'fit, but when I saw in her caption that it was from Spanx, I knew it had to be in my closet. According to the brand, she was wearing its famed, Oprah-favorite AirEssentials Half Zip hoodie and the matching Booty Boost Active Contour Ribbed Leggings, which buyers have described as "very flattering" and "smoothing".

Paltrow's ribbed leggings feature four-way stretch, a shaping waistband, and inside shorts that enhance support and opacity. They are also designed without a front center seam, which the manufacturer claims eliminates camel toes. "They are snug in all the right ways and stay snug all day long," wrote a customer who wore them to pickleball and yoga. Another user described them as "worth every penny" due to their "high quality," comfort, and the "sleek" and supported feeling they provide.
The style is available in three colors — red, black, and plum — all of which have somewhat limited sizing. Fortunately, there’s a pretty much identical style, minus the ribbing, that’s also a celebrity and editor-favorite: the Booty Boost Active Leggings.

These leggings have been worn by Jennifer Garner a number of times, have been spotted on Reese Witherspoon and Kourtney Kardashian, and even our Senior Commerce Writer is in love with the style. “They really make me look and feel my best,” she wrote, explaining that the pants lifted her butt “so much” that her friend “said the four words [she] loves to hear: Your butt looks great." And while we all love a little boost, she also said that the leggings hold up to serious workouts, noting that even after a sweat-dripping spin class, the pants showed no signs of wear. And, like Paltrow’s style, these too have a seam-free (aka camel toe-free) front.
