We’re always on the lookout for new activewear brands to shop, because honestly, you can never have too many leggings. Of course, there are a lot of brands out there, so we especially love when our favorite celebs do the testing for us and show off their top picks. So we were pumped when Gwyneth Paltrow, the Goop queen herself, included a photo decked out in head-to-toe Spanx activewear in a recent OOTD Instagram roundup, and we knew we had to track down her all-orange set.
The exact leggings Paltrow is posing in (see the fourth pic in the post below) are actually Spanx’s Booty Boost Active 7/8 Leggings in the butterscotch colorway — truly the perfect shade for all your October workouts. As their name suggests, these leggings are all about supporting and lifting your butt. They feature a comfortable contoured waistband and are made with “sculpting performance fabric,” all with the goal of flattering you from the back.
Of course, in the age of athleisure, the goal is not just look good but feel good too. So we love that Paltrow paired the Booty Boost leggings with Spanx’s matching AirEssentials Half Zip sweater. FYI, Spanx’s AirEssentials collection is so popular, even Oprah’s wearing it; the TV star recommended this pullover in her 2022 Oprah’s Favorite Things collection, saying that the fabric is “perfectly loose-and-lightweight” and feels “like buttah!”
$98
With an expert rec like that, it’s no wonder Paltrow pulled on the zip-up for her outdoor OOTD. And with nearly 700 reviews on Spanx’s site, other shoppers agree that the sweater is “amazingly comfortable,” while adding that it can be easily dressed up or down. “It is so soft and cozy,” one recent buyer said. “[Spanx] hit a home run with Air Essentials,” another added.

As for the leggings, shoppers are even more obsessed. The pair Paltrow wore has racked up over 980 reviews, almost 700 of which are a full five stars. Reviewers love how waistband stays in place during workouts and described the fabric as buttery, soft, and even silky. “Best leggings I’ve ever purchased!!” one shopper wrote. “When your husband notices then you know it’s a great purchase!!” Another reviewer noted that “they really do boost your booty,” and that she’s recommended them to multiple friends.
“Best leggings I have ever put on!” said another reviewer, describing them as slimming and flattering with no awkward camel toe to worry about. “They are like magic leggings!”
