News: Kim Kardashian accidentally flashes her Spanx during basketball date with Kanye West... but can't tear her eyes away from her phone in courtside seat

She's a self-confessed social media junkie, obsessed with instagramming and tweeting every moment of the day.

And Kim Kardashian was up to her usual tricks on Tuesday night since she was glued to her phone during the LA Lakers game against the Houston Rockets, held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, apparently unaware that she was accidentally flashing her Spanx to the whole sports arena.

Despite her husband Kanye West trying his best to entertain her with a running commentary of the game, the selfie-mad star only had eyes for her mobile and kept it in her hands throughout the match.

The couple took pride of place in their courtside seats, with Kim nestling into the Stronger rapper's shoulder.

The 34-year-old TV star was wearing a surprisingly low-key outfit compared to her usual standards.

She donned a black pencil skirt with a thigh-high split and a grey turtleneck jumper.

However, eagle-eyed observers caught a glimpse of her curve-containing shapewear, which she swears by to help give her a streamlined silhouette, peeking out from underneath the skirt.

Kanye opted for ripped jeans and a baggy grey jumper and seemed more invested in the game than his wife, who was more concerned with looking around at the crowd.

The hip-hop star's hopes were dashed, however, since the LA Lakers were defeated by The Rockets 108-90. 

Kim and Kanye - who have 16-month-old daughter North together - seemed perfectly in sync thanks to their muted ensembles.

Social media addict: Kim was busy checking her Twitter feed, which is followed by a whopping 24.8 million people, and her Instagram account, which boasts 20.5 million followers
