On Your Mark, Get Set, SPANX! The Race to the Red Carpet is on
 
Just in time for the Golden Globe Awards, celebrity fave and stylist must-have Spanx rolls out the red carpet treatment on a mission to reign in rolls, tighten tummies and boost booties. In an award season first, Spanx is packing a 1-2-3 punch to keep Hollywood’s hottest looking tight and toned at the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Academy Awards®.
 
From the pre-show workout, to a morning in the makeup chair, to the red carpet pose- off, nominees and notables including Michelle Williams, Jessica Chastain and Zooey Deschanel will be ready for their close-up thanks to the three SPANX shaping swag bags. And celebs won’t be the only ones getting their SPANX on. With contests on The Rear View™ (the Spanx blog) and Twitter, as well as giveaway opportunities for media outlets, every SPANX fan will have the chance to feel like a star.
 
A shoe-in for “best supporting,” each slimming surprise will arrive just in time for a major event, ensuring that Spanx has celebrity butts covered from award season start to (rear) end!
 
Here’s the skinny on the slimming swag:
 
The Red Carpet Kick-Off: Work Out Before Working It
The week before the Golden Globes, starlets will receive a black quilted SPANX yoga bag filled with a pink yoga mat, SPANX Active Power Pants and a signature SPANX Heart Beats Tee (a joint charitable initiative with proceeds going to the American Heart Association). Celebs can be sure their heart is in the right place—and the rest of them will be too!
Thanks to bagel-busting fabric and their flawless fit, SPANX Active Power Pants were dubbed a “great idea” by actress Leslie Mann, and Miley Cyrus said: “These are my jam right there!”
 
The Perfect Pair: Hollywood’s Hottest Couple
Just in time for the Screen Actors Guild Awards, a SPANX lingerie bag will introduce celebs to Hollywood’s new “it” couple: the new SPANX Bra-llywood Hills bra and spring’s But…Naked Panty. Because no one should let their Golden Globes (or Gluteous Maximus) SAG on the red carpet!
Jessica Paster, stylist to Emily Blunt, Annette Benning, Christina Applegate and Jewel said: “Every single one of my clients wear SPANX! We ALWAYS have [them] in our red carpet emergency kit.... Fashion tape,scissors and SPANX are a necessity! I seriously can't live without them. We even have a SPANX drawer at the studio.”
 
The Red Carpet Ready: Don’t Let VPL Steal the Spotlight
Arriving a week before the granddaddy of all awards shows, The Oscars ®, A SPANX slate takes “action” against lumps, bumps and VPL on the red carpet with celeb-favorites like the Slimmer & Shine™ Tunic and an In-Power™ Line Footless Shaper, ensuring 360 degrees of flawless fashion.
Stylist Nicole Chavez, who works with Scarlett Johansson and Rachel Bilson said: "SPANX is my go-to style staple for awards season! I especially love SPANX In-Power™ Line for those dresses that show every line, lump and bump. The In-Power ™ Footless Shaper is brilliant!" 
The Leading Man: Nip Tux
Standing out in a sea of suits means standing taller and looking sharper (and smoother) than the rest of the fellas on the carpet, so leading men will receive their own support thanks to a SPANX for Men delivery a week before The Oscars®. Because when it comes to the competition for best dressed, there’s no such thing as “it’s an honor just to be nominated.”
“That’s why I wear SPANX,” George Lopez said on Lopez Tonight. And George Kotsiopoulos, celebrity stylist/co-host of Fashion Police on E!, said: “Even guys are wearing SPANX right now which I think is actually genius.”
 
About Spanx:
