Even though many high profile wearers (like Michelle Obama) have been known to bash pantyhose, no fewer than 1.4 billion pairs of nylon wonders were sold in 2008 alone. Clothes shops and hypermarkets all over the world still carry a larger than ever selection of pantyhose and nylon hosiery, not to mention the specialty shops which seem to spring up in every shopping center or just about anywhere where potential buyers congregate. If we are to discuss pantyhose in relation to celebrities, we also need to note Beyonce Knowles' and Lady Gaga's obvious love for the garment.
