Stylist Monica Rose’s high profile clients include the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

The top celebrity stylist has revealed Spanx is the only brand of shapewear she uses for her A-list clients when an appearance on the red carpet in a fitted dress calls for perfection.

Monica told InStyle that while her clients are all extremely fit and well-toned, she’ll use shapewear brand Spanx to ensure a flawless line.

“I use a lot of Spanx – that’s definitely my go-to brand” she said.

While using shapewear to smoothe out any lumps or bumps, isn’t a new thing, Monica said there’s only one specific Spanx undergarment she uses to ensure her A-listers look absolutely perfect.

“I use the high-waist ones that go all the way down to the calf. If you do the one that’s short, it always leaves a line, so I always use the longer ones.”

Given that it’s Monica’s job to create the most camera-friendly looks for the celebrities she dresses, it would be fair to say she probably knows what she’s talking about.

Monica recommends swapping out shorter Spanx styles, for high-waisted, capri-length ones, whenever your outfit permits.

But, the celebrity stylist is also one for throwing out the rule book, if the dress calls for it.

She said there are times when she doesn’t use anything at all, depending on the fabric of the dress.

“If the material is nice, you don’t need to wear anything underneath.”

Although, having the right undergarment to hand, makes all the difference.

“Sometimes, if I don’t have the right undergarment” she said,  “I’ll scrap the look altogether. It just won’t work out.”
