ANYTHING Kim Kardashian can do, Boris Johnson's daughter Lara Johnson-Wheeler can do too, with the writer modelling her shapewear for a shoot in Tatler.

Writer Lara, 28, decided to make like Kim K and test out a selection of shapewear on offer which is set to "empower" women, after crediting the reality star for making an "hourglass" figure fashionable again.

She praised Kim for giving women the confidence to enhance the shape they have with body-sculpting underwear, writing in the September issue of Tatler: "These days – thanks to Kim and her contemporaries – looking like an hourglass is back in Vogue.

"The goal to look ‘thicc’, with an unreasonably small middle, is highly covetable."

In a bid to look her "most sculpted" and "most cinched", Lara decided to test out a whole host of shapewear for herself, while posing for stunning black and white photos in the issue.

In one shot, she's seen rocking high-waisted black briefs (£55, from Heist) and a matching bra underneath a sheer dress.

In another, she cinches in her waist with a £150 black corset from Spanx while looking glamorous in a long pencil skirt and knitted cropped cardigan.

No stranger to shapewear, Lara confesses: "I've panic bought the odd piece to go with an outfit, but it's clear I have much to learn."

It's safe to say shapewear is slowly but surely becoming on-trend – take Kim and her successful shapewear line Skims – and wanting to find out what all the hype was for herself, Lara hit the shops, seeking a professional's advice on what's best to wear.

"I realise this is the most comprising position I've ever conducted an interview in," Lara reveals in the first-person piece.

She adds that she was "naked from the waist up" while chatting to each shop assistant about the best ways to cinch in her waist.

All in all, her conclusions were that shapewear might not fix the insecurities you have about your body, but it can instead "enhance" what you do have to make it seem more "favourable".

She says, for her, she didn't particularly feel any different when armed with Spanx, but wearing them did help Lara to feel more "secure" when it came to trying on clothes she would normally have doubts about wearing.

Lara is the oldest out of Boris' four children he shares with second wife Marina Wheeler, who he split from in 2018 after 25 years of marriage.

The former couple are also parents to sons Milo, 26, and Theodore, 22, and daughter Cassia, 24, while Boris is also dad to son Wilfred, one, who he shares with wife Carrie Johnson.

Prime Minister Boris and Carrie married in May, earlier this year, in a ceremony attended by 30 guests at Westminster Cathedral in London.
