Underneath the gorgeous evening gowns and eye-catching jewels at the upcoming Academy Awards lie a few extremely supportive power players that shouldn't go unnoticed.

That's right, ladies, we're talking about shapewear, and it's about time we paid these miracle workers a bit of gratitude!

And while every star posing on the Oscars red carpet has a stunning figure to start with, there's always a bit of wiggle room for some extra smoothing when all eyes are on you.

Spanx sources tell us that a number of A-listers including Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Garner and Isla Fisher, all of whom are styled by Rachel Zoe, have requested slimming pieces to wear this coming Sunday. 

As for specifics of the unmentionables, Garner will likely be wearing a lightweight shaper like the Skinny Britches high-waisted short under her gown, while Jessica Alba is a huge fan of the Slimplicity high-waisted panty

Adele will take the stage singing "Skyfall", while doubling up on secret weapons with both the Slimplicity open-bust bodysuit and the In Power Line super-high shaping sheers. 

Sounds like our favorite leading ladies are going to look flawless on Oscar Sunday!

Who are you most looking forward to seeing on Oscar Sunday?
