Gwyneth Paltrow’s Instagram gives me everything I need: candid Q&As, dinner recipes, and – of course — fashion inspiration. The actress’ monthly outfit roundups have become something I genuinely look forward to seeing, and while I admittedly want everything from her recent post, there was one look that most caught my eye: Her red-hot workout set from Spanx.
It’s hard not to be drawn in by a monochromatic, chili-red ‘fit, but after reading in her caption that it was from Spanx, I was also sure it needed to be in my wardrobe. According to the brand, she was rocking its famous, Oprah-favorite AirEssentials Half Zip sweatshirt and the matching Booty Boost Active Contour Ribbed Leggings, the latter of which have been called “very flattering” and “smoothing” by shoppers.

Paltrow’s ribbed leggings are designed with four-way stretch, a shaping waistband, and internal shorts that improve support and opacity. They’re also made without a front center-seam, which the brand notes eliminates camel toes. “They are snug in all the right ways and stay snug all day long,” wrote a fan who wore them to pickleball and yoga. Another person called them “worth every penny” because of their “high quality,” comfort, and how “sleek” and supported they feel in them.
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.
Paltrow said that she’s loving her “really great workout set” from Spanx, and now I’m adding it to my cart (her influence!). Grab her style or the brand’s celebrity-favorite Booty Boost Active Leggings today.
