No muscles? No sweat! Celeb red carpet secrets

with one comment

Take heart: Not even a personally-trained, hard-body celeb with breast implants and a custom-fitted designer gown can make it up the red carpet without a little additional enhancement.

We all know celeb style secrets like the double-sided tape, hair extensions and girdles. But did you know THIS??

The first step? A body-enhancing airbrush tan, says spray-tanner-to-the-stars Jimmy Coco, who expects to wield his tanning wand at least 100 times before the Academy Awards.

These tans do more than lend a healthy glow. They can add muscle definition where none exists, says Coco…

"If they haven't quite been to the gym, I can make it look as though they have," he says. "I give them an even glow and lightly etch in where the muscle is."

And forget about "don't let 'em see you sweat" – better not to sweat at ALL:


Natural fabrics are easily marred by sweat, so stars plan ahead to keep palms and armpits from perspiring.

"With a silk dress, anything you touch will make a stain," Fonteyne says. "One drop spreads like it's the ocean under your arm."

One solution is botox, which paralyzes overactive glands to temporarily stop sweating. Another is Drysol, a prescription treatment Fonteyne swears by that "dries up" sweat glands.

  1. I have an easier solution – don't wear satin. K. used Drysol for a while; it works well, but when you start using it, it can be very irritating. Wonder what the celebs do for the itchy rash, if they react badly to it?
