The Rockettes Wear These Under-$40 Old Navy Leggings for Rehearsals

If you're one of the 11 million people who saw this viral TikTok video of the Rockettes rehearsing, you might have had the same question that popped into my mind: Where do these ladies get their leggings? I assume their leggings must pass a rigorous test: They must be extremely stretchy to allow for high kicks, comfortable enough for long hours at practice, and supportive enough to stay in place after intense workouts. In other words, if a pair of leggings is good enough for the iconic Radio City Rockettes, they're good enough for me.
With my curiosity piqued, I went straight to the source and asked 10 of the Rockettes about their favorite leggings to wear at rehearsals. Their answers included a variety of brands, including Lululemon, Old Navy, and ALO Yoga. Scroll down to shop their picks, and be sure to book your tickets to see the Rockettes if you're in NYC now through January 1.
