Spot the Spanx: The control underwear could just be seen beneath the catsuit

The bottom of the control pants, which usually finish just above the knee, could just be seen, thanks to the super-tight nature of Jennifer’s stage outfits.

It’s not the first time that Jennifer has been spotted wearing Spanx, as she regularly relies on the holding-in underwear on photoshoots and public appearances.

In fact, it is a well-known fact within the industry that Spanx, the brainchild of Sara Blakely, are not just a good option for keeping curves in check, but also provide a smooth finish underneath tight dresses.

Jennifer has been delighting fans over the past few months with her Dance Again world tour.

And while the singer has received positive reviews from the majority of critics, she admitted prior to undertaking the tour that she was more than a little nervous.

However, mother-of-two Jennifer added that she calmed down when she got things in perspective.

She said: ‘It’s not rocket science. I’m not curing cancer. I’m just entertaining. I had to remind myself, as much work as it is, and as much as I want to do well, everybody there wants to do their best and be successful.

‘At the end of the day those people are there to have fun. You have fun, they have fun. Then it’s a successful night, and so that’s what we do.’

Jennifer will be performing in Germany, Belgium and France over the next week, before bringing the Dance Again tour to London, performing at the O2 Arena on 22nd October.
