As someone known for her favorite things, Oprah is a person we fully put our trust in—and we're not the only ones. Celebrities and her beloved fans are right there with us—swearing by all the products included in her annual Oprah's Favorite Things List. From clothing to cookware and hair accessories, the business mogul has good taste when selecting items for her list. And one item everyone can't seem to get enough of? Oprah's favorite Spanx pants.

In an interview with Oprah Daily, Winfrey said, "When I first saw these ultra-flattering pants, I immediately called Sara Blakely, the founder of Spanx, to applaud her. In sizes XS to 3X, they have built-in tummy control, so you don’t need to wear compression gear underneath—you’re already Spanxed!"

Crafted from Spanx's signature ultra-stretchy, breathable fabric with a high-rise, contoured waistband, the Perfect Pants are designed to smooth and sculpt your body. They have a pull-on design, a completely smooth front (no bulging zippers or buttons), and feature a unique Spanx Slim is Built-In compression fabric that hits right at the waistline to offer nice coverage around the stomach. The tailored back seams also give off a nice elongating effect, which is great for those looking to add some length to their legs.

Available in two colors, classic black and navy, these pants will quickly become your new go-to for any outfit. Oprah isn't the only one who loves the pants, either. Nordstrom reviewers can't stop raving about the bottoms. "My new favorite pants," wrote one reviewer. "It has a lovely, smooth, cool-feeling fabric, and it's slim fitting. I wear it with a tunic or long jacket. I've worn them in 80+ degree days while shopping and I don’t feel hot. Love them."

The shapewear brand is also widely known for its compression underwear, cool tops, and butt-sculpting leggings. Stars like Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon are also huge fans of the brand. Garner was spotted last month wearing the Spanx Booty Boost leggings with a black top while on her way to get a manicure. Meanwhile, Witherspoon was seen going for a run in the brand's camo print leggings in 2018.

The Booty Boost leggings were made specifically to prevent pesky VPLs (visible panty lines). And like any good pair of leggings, they come with a back drop-in pocket big enough to fit your phone, keys, and earbuds. They're also made with a breathable and sweat-wicking fabric that's essential for workouts.

So if you're on the hunt for some new bottoms, check out these wardrobe staples from Spanx, along with their best-selling bras and underwear.
