These pants really WILL give you a Pippa Middleton bottom

Pippa Middleton's impressive performance at the royal wedding won her millions of admirers worldwide - not least thanks to her slim yet shapely figure.

Her instant global appeal (and her pert bottom) led to countless firms attempting to cash in on women's desire to get their own version of Pippa's derriere.

But among the control top tights and padded knickers that have flooded the market, no product has got close to the slimming and lifting effect the average woman needs to get remotely close to emulating Pippa's neat curves.

But with their new Simplicity Booty Booster shorts, globally renowned control garment firm Spanx think they might just have it nailed.

Of course, there are no miracles where figure fixers are concerned. A pair of polyester pants is no substitute for a healthy diet combined with plenty of exercise and water-drinking.

But in the absence of such a puritanical lifestyle and elusive willpower, there are Spanx.
This garment is made using the high-tech method and clever combination of fibres that have become Spanx's trademark.

The Booty Boosters use the 'failsafe' technology Spanx has used for years: a blend of nylon, elastane and spandex) in mesh panels that target specific areas.

The control panels suck in the thighs and stomach, while removable 'butt-lets' - pads that can be slipped into the tights to give the illusion of a higher, more pert, fuller bottom - give a fuller shape for those that need it.
When worn under a tight-fitting dress or pair of trousers, the pants completely eliminate bulge, the appearance of cellulite and the dreaded visible panty line (though we must confess to being suspicious of where the excess flab ends up) while lifting technology gives the impression of higher, tighter buttocks.

Spanx call the Booty Booster Short its 'cheekiest yet'. 'It is best for those who want more junk in their trunk,' the firm says. 'Now you can achieve the look of a naturally round rump thanks to this highly constructed, booty-enhancing design with optional butt-lets that add a cheek size.'

Spanx has found fans in some of the highest profile places, with a list of Spanx addicts that includes Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Fearne Cotton, Tyra Banks, Kimberley Walsh, Selena Gomez, Britney Spears, Jessica Alba, Kate Winslet, Tina Fey, Miley Cyrus, Julia Robets, Catherine Heigl, Sienna Miller and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Just last night, model Molly Sims admitted on the red carpet that she was wearing a pair of Spanx's new slimming tights designed especially for pregnant women.
