Adele shares fashion woes as Spanx stop making her favourite full body shapewear

Adele has admitted she was left in a frenzy after discovering that Spanx had discontinued her favorite product.

In a bid to secure as much of the remaining stock as possible, the 36-year-old singer called the company and enlisted the help of her close friends to scour stores for the full-body garment.

The Oscar-winning singer candidly shared her reliance on the shapewear, revealing that it has been her "friend" since she was 16.

The British star was in the middle of her Weekends With Adele show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace when she told the audience about her predicament.

According to MailOnline, she shared: “Spanx. I trust them. I’ve been wearing them since I was about 16, so I trust them. It's like half of my life. So I trust them with my life. 

“And my favourite pair of Spanx are full body Spanx. I know they're not sexy. But I like to feel safe in all dresses. I know that my lumps and bumps that I love are contained.

“Well, they decided to just discontinue my favourite pair of Spanx. So everyone I know has been panic buying whatever is left at the stores. So Spanx were very kind, they gave us all the ones that they had left, but obviously there's lots of stores that stopped them.

“But probably they are not that many other people want to wear full body Spanx, especially in f***ing Vegas - it’s boiling.”

Adding: “So we've been panic buying and the ones that got put in my dressing room today, definitely were not a large and they were definitely a small.”

It’s not the first time she’s spoken about Spanx during her residency, having previously revealed the shapewear left her with a fungal skin infection.Last June, the Easy On Me singer shared that she had got “jock itch” around her groin after sweating in her shapewear night after night while performing in Vegas.

“It is a bit crude but I never knew it existed!” she shared on stage.

“Obviously when I do my shows I wear Spanx and keep it all in and make it fit me. And I sweat a lot and it doesn’t go anywhere. So basically I just sit in my sweat. And my doctor gave me jock itch [cream].”

“So it looks like I am an athlete basically, so I have to squirt it on myself. I don’t know why the f*** I just told you that,” she concluded while referring to a topical treatment for the condition.

Adele is set to finish her Weekends With Adele residency at the end of June, after extending it twice.

The London-born star will play 10 dates in Munich between August 2 and August 31, marking her first European tour since 2016.

Best known for hits such as Rolling in the Deep, Someone Like You, and Set Fire To The Rain, Adele will perform in an open arena created exclusively for the show at Munich Messe with a capacity of 80,000 people.
