Almost every celebrity, regardless of the body type, wears some kind of shapewear.
“Choosing the right undergarments is essential in looking your best both on and off the red carpet,” explained Rachel Zalis, showing off the Secret by Victoria’s Secret Shapewear collection.

Polly demonstrated the Beach Sexy Flawless Instant Bronze Body Spray ($12) which is basically a tinted airbrushing spray to even out those imperfections.
