Mom jeans: Lacey Schwimmer stepped out in unflattering high-waisted jeans after rehearsing with reality partner Chaz Bono for Dancing With The Stars today


She's earned plenty of top marks on Dancing With The Stars, but today Lacey Schwimmer didn't score well in the style stakes.

The professional performer, 23, left rehearsals with her partner Chaz Bono in a pair of Seventies-style high-waisted jeans that did nothing to flatter her shapely body.

And see-through black top which was open at the back exposed a mismatching green bra.

The denim trousers were clinging to her figure in all the wrong places and not even her sheer top was enough to distract from the frumpy look.

She is not the first star to experience a fashion misstep in high-waisted jeans.

Fellow reality star and singer, Jessica Simpson, famously sported a similar pair of mom jeans when she performed at a chili cook off in Florida in January, 2009.

Lacey has previously defended her figure after facing criticism from a fellow dancer.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy criticised both her and Cheryl Burke in 2008.

'When I first saw these women this season, I said, "Guys, you know the camera adds 10 pounds," he told U.S. magazine TV Guide. 'You have to do something about this.’

Both female performers have fluctuated in weight over the years, usually shedding extra pounds when they return to the ballroom from the off-season.

Lacey was quick to fire back, saying: 'As a woman, and a dancer, I am confident and happy with the way I look.

'While it is unfortunate that two of my colleagues were compelled to express opinions about my body, and the bodies of other talented women on Dancing With the Stars, I suppose they are entitled to them.'

Lacey is now in full swing ahead of the show's debut next week.

Her partner Chaz, Cher's transgender child, will compete against the likes of Rob Kardashian, David Arquette and Ricki Lake.

Chaz has faced criticism about his decision to sign on to the show as its first transgender contestant.
