X Factor judge Kelly Rowland loves Spanx underwear

Kelly Rowland thinks Spanx are “every girl’s best friend”.

The former Destiny’s Child singer – who swears by the body-shaping underwear – always likes to be comfortable on a night out and so she consciously avoids sky-scraper heels because they make her look “a whole lot of crazy”.

She told BANG Showbiz: “Spanx are every girl’s best friend, I am wearing Spanx right now. Always make sure you’re comfortable in whatever you’re going out in, it’s so important.

“If you’re going out in six-inch heels, make sure they’re ones that you can last at least seven hours in. Because when you start walking like there is a watermelon between your legs because your feet hurt so much, you look a whole lot of crazy.”

In terms of make-up, Kelly – who is currently a judge on the UK ‘X Factor’ – advised a bright shade of lipstick can really make an outfit “pop”.

Speaking at last weeks  Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards 2011 at London’s Banqueting House – where she picked up the gong for Ultimate TV Personality – Kelly explained: “I always choose a great lipstick because it really makes an outfit pop.

“Even if you have an all-black outfit on and you pair it with a bright pink or red lipstick or something, it looks great.”
