What is it about this article of clothing that makes us shudder and avert our eyes?
Oh, right. It's because nothing can hide from the damning and unforgiving fabric of SPANDEX. Sure, it's good for working out (not that we would know as our "working out" consists of the couple times a week we take the stairs in our apartment building because the elevator smells weird), but is the ability to move freely in spin class really worth a camel toe?!
It doesn't matter if your body is perfect; you will still look positively awkward in spandex and we will feel uncomfortable just looking at you.
1. Iggy Azalea
Well, we now know your deepest, darkest secrets. That's how revealing those shorts are.
2. Mickey Rourke
He's a repeat offender, which means pretty soon he'll have his "going out in public" card revoked.
3. Lady Gaga
Girl, no.
4. Miley Cyrus
Ugh, those are really wedged up there, aren't they?
5. Shia LaBeouf
Wearing these purple spandex pants is the only thing he did that was worse than chasing a homeless person down the street.
6. Phoebe Price
What is happening here?
7. Derrick Evans, aka Mr. Motivator
Job well done, sir. You're motivating us to never look directly at photos of you ever again.
8. Pink
Hey, if we had Pink's body we wouldn't want to cover up much either. But this just looks painful.
9. Sia Furler
Nope.
10. Louise Roe
Gold spandex is a bold choice and we got to respect that. But still. No.
11. Christina Milian
We can still see you, Christina. Alllll of you.
12. Christie Brinkley
One of the original spandex offenders. It still doesn't make that pink, painted-on fabric OK in our book.
13. Martha Stewart
Martha, if we were not so afraid of you, we would tell you those leggings need to be burned at your next seasonally-festive and perfectly-decorated bonfire party.
14. Rita Ora
It's not very often we see Rita looking anything less than 100 percent gorgeous, but spandex has that power.
15. Jessie J
What are we looking at here?
16. JWoww
We just do not approve of what's happening in this picture. Except for the dog.
17. Sacha Baron Cohen
We blame this guy. Ever since this photo hit the world, we've never been the same, spandex-wise.
18. Shia LaBeouf
Ha! Did you think we'd only post one photo of Shia in neon spandex? Jokes on you because LOOK! You can't look away, can you?! But we forgive this photo because Shia did it to raise money for breast cancer awareness and for that reason, this is the best anyone has ever looked in spandex.
