5 Ways to Wear the Biggest Denim Trends, Per J.Lo, Cindy Crawford, and More
If you're ready to mix it up with your denim collection, there's no place better to find inspiration than Hollywood. While Rihanna, Cynthia Erivo, and Jennifer Lopez love to experiment with edgy jeans, Cindy Crawford and Charlize Theron prefer sticking to more classic denim styles. In other words, there's something for everyone in this story.
Rihanna showed off the perfect way to style jeans for a night out, and Crawford's ankle-boot outfit is suitable for weekend hangs or even the office. Below, I rounded up five of my favorite celebrity denim outfits and included all the pieces you need to re-create their looks.
1. Baggy, Ripped Jeans With a Blazer and Sneakers
On Charlize Theron: Agolde '90s Fit High Rise Loose Fit Jeans ($188); Adidas Superstar Sneakers ($85)
I love how Theron juxtaposed a sophisticated black blazer with casual ripped jeans, creating a perfectly balanced outfit. Hot tip: Her exact jeans are still in stock but are bound to sell out.
2. Wide-Leg, Full-Length Jeans With a Sweater-Vest
On Jennifer Lopez: Tom Ford sweater and jeans; Hermès bag; Gucci sunglasses
J.Lo is no stranger to test-driving trends, and wide-leg jeans are her newest obsession. Bonus points if you want to try a patchwork style like Lopez's Tom Ford jeans here.
3. Ultra-Ripped Jeans With a Scarf Top
On Rihanna: Conner Ives top; Balenciaga jeans; Dior bag
How can you make jeans look cool enough for a night out? Let Rihanna be your guide. She chose ultra-ripped jeans that definitely made a statement and finished her look with a halter top.
4. Black Skinny Jeans With a Leather Jacket and Boots
Crawford's style is always classic, and this outfit is no exception. Dark skinny jeans will never go out of style, so they're absolutely a foolproof investment. Wear yours with a leather moto jacket for fall and winter.
5. Drop-Crotch Baggy Jeans With a Cropped Sweater
Erivo's jeans have so much going on: They're acid-washed, ripped, and baggy and boast a crossover waist and drop crotch. By the way, Katie Holmes happens to be another fan of controversial drop-crotch jeans in case you needed some more convincing.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
