Is that a Spanx slip under your dress? Nicola Roberts heads to burlesque show in see-through frock

She might have been going to a burlesque show on the West End, but that didn’t mean she had to dress like one of the acts.
Nicola Roberts was snapped leaving the Hurly Burly Show in a sheer black dress with only a nude strapless slip beneath covering her modesty.
Instead of wearing lingerie under the knee-length frock, the Girls Aloud star appeared to be wearing a body contouring slip.

Perhaps the 25-year-old was following in the footsteps of celebrity Spanx fans such as Lily Allen, by wearing one of their compression slips.
The hide and seek nude slip is designed to smooth out bumps and doubles as underwear to accompany sheer dresses.

Nicola, who looked slightly gothic in the dark dress against her porcelain skin, was with her sister Frankie, who wore a bright pink skirt and denim strapless top.
Roberts wore her red hair up in a high pony tail and accompanied her off-the-shoulder crochet dress with strappy black heels and a matching handbag.
The girls started their night off at the Fleming Hotel in Mayfair before heading to the Garrick Theatre to watch the show.

The risqué show, which stars British burlesque star Miss Polly Rae, the founder of the show, has received rave reviews.
The show states that the act: ‘takes audiences on a unique, provocative journey full of wit, joie de vivre, and celebration of the female form.’
Quentin Letts critiqued the show for the Mail last month, saying: ‘The contours are amazing, as are some of the contortions .
‘A dancer’s slow, near-naked splits makes one’s eyes water like lychees. The high kicking seems double-hinged.
‘I have to say that the Hurly Burly Show is artistic rather than lewd. It’s ersatz sleaze.’
Kylie Minogue also attended the Garrick Theatre this month to watch the opening night of the new show, which is directed by her 37-year-old stylist William Baker.
William, who began his career as a fashion designer, made his debut as a theatre director in the 2007 West End revival of Rent.
