Stars are nearly as obsessed with Spanx’s workout clothes as they are with its signature shapewear. Kourtney Kardashian, Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon own the brand’s Booty Boost workout leggings, while its glossy pleather pairs are a hit with Kris Jenner, Kelly Clarkson and more.

Page Six Style’s review: “I tried Spanx’s Booty Boost leggings after spotting them on several stars — and I can see why they’re so beloved,” says Page Six Commerce Writer Hannah Southwick. “The fabric manages to feel buttery soft and supportive at the same time,”

Collectively, celebrities just might own the majority of Girlfriend Collective’s styles. Known for its use of recycled materials, the Seattle-based brand has popped up everywhere from Kerry Washington and Mindy Kaling’s Instagram grids to Oprah’s “Favorite Things” list.

“The husband-and-wife team behind Girlfriend Collective (Gayle, a huge fan, told me about them) is making activewear more inclusive with this design that comes in sizes XS to 6XL,” Winfrey wrote in 2022 of the Compressive Pocket Legging — which, as she noted, is partly made from plastic bottles.

FAQ

Are leggings still in style?

While trends come and go, it’s safe to say stars will still be living in leggings for years to come. Beyond workouts and casual outings, plenty of celebs have also (literally) elevated the comfy classic; in the first half of 2024, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga and Chrissy Teigen all styled their leggings with heels.

Also among the hottest legging trends? The yoga pants popular in the mid-2000s have gotten a chic makeover as of late, with stars like Emily Ratajkowski and Hailey Bieber both stepping out in flared spandex styles.

What are the best gym leggings?

While the perfect gym clothing comes down to personal preference, be sure to check product descriptions to make sure the styles you select suit your workout routine.

Some options on this list — like the high compression Alo Yoga Airlift Legging and lululemon Wunder Train Tight — are created with more high-intensity workouts in mind, while others — such as the Alo Yoga Alosoft Highlight Legging — are more ideal for yoga, pilates and casual outings.
