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.

I'm sold.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 14 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 2015, 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 Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
