Introduction
Denim is dominating celebrity fashion right now, and the world’s biggest stars are redefining how this timeless staple should be worn in 2025. From Hailey Bieber’s low-rise wide-legs to Zendaya’s polished bootcuts, Hollywood’s style leaders are inspiring a new wave of denim trends that blend comfort, sophistication, and effortless cool. In this roundup, we highlight the most talked-about outfits, recent public sightings, and emerging denim styles shaping today’s fashion landscape.
1) Hailey Bieber — The Cool-Girl Low-Rise Wide-Leg (Street-Ready Minimalism)
Hailey’s denim choices have been repeatedly showcased as the blueprint for “everyday cool” in 2025. Her blend of tailored simplicity with modern proportions (low-rise waist, wide leg) made her one of the primary influencers driving wide-leg and low-rise denim sales this season.
Hailey was photographed in wide-leg, low-rise jeans paired with minimal tops and elevated outerwear in several Fall 2025 street-style roundups. The look was covered in detail by outlets highlighting her Gap/affordable denim picks and runway-adjacent styling.
How to recreate:
- Budget option: Look for low-rise, wide-leg jeans from high-street brands (many Gap styles have been spotlighted as affordable Hailey dupe options).
- Investment pick: opt for elevated wide-leg cuts from designers like Khaite or Frame if you want stronger tailoring and fabric quality.
- Styling tip: Pair with a cropped ribbed top or a tucked micro-tee and add a simple leather shoulder bag and minimal sunglasses.
2) Kendall Jenner — Indigo-On-Indigo Elegance (Retro-Modern Revival)
Kendall’s influence on denim trends has been persistent; she has been credited with normalizing the darker indigo and “retro” silhouettes this season. Her looks often bridge runway trends and accessible street style, which makes them trend accelerants.
Kendall was photographed wearing indigo denim — mid-to-dark wash jeans styled with simple tees or slouchy knits — as part of the fall 2025 indigo push. She also fronted denim campaigns that reinforce her denim credibility.
How to recreate:
- Budget: Choose dark indigo straight-leg jeans with minimal fading.
- Splurge: Buy from brands that emphasize fabric (e.g., Japanese denim mills or premium heritage labels).
- Styling tip: Wear with a small shoulder bag and subtle jewelry; tuck the tee slightly at the front to emphasize the waistline.
3) Dua Lipa — Night-Out Dark Denim with Elevated Accessories
Dua Lipa has been blending pop-performance glam with wearable street looks, and her take on dark denim for night outs has become a reference for combining party-ready accessories with everyday jeans. Her looks have been widely covered during her tour appearances.
During tour stops this year, Dua Lipa was observed in dark denim jeans (low-rise bootcuts or tailored straight silhouettes) paired with corset tops, tailored jackets, and bold shoe choices — photographed and discussed by fashion press covering her tour wardrobes.
How to recreate:
- Pair dark, slim or bootcut jeans with satin or corset-style tops for a party-ready silhouette.
- Accessorize with statement shoes and jewelry to elevate the look from day to night.
4) Gigi Hadid — Denim-on-Denim with Western Edge
Gigi’s recent denim-on-denim moment (a tailored denim jacket with cutout or slit jeans) has become a viral street-style reference for juxtaposing classic Americana with modern tailoring. Her interpretation was covered in fashion press and street-style galleries.
Gigi was photographed in a two-piece denim outfit with thigh slits and a belted corset detail while shooting a campaign and doing street-style rounds in NYC. The ensemble combined Alexander McQueen-inspired tailoring with model-off-duty accessories.
How to recreate:
- Choose a structured denim jacket and pair with high-waist jeans. Add a wide leather corset or belt to mirror the silhouette.
- For a more wearable version, try a patched denim jacket with straight-leg jeans and finish with ankle boots.
5) Beyoncé — Denim Collaborations and Elevated Cargo
Beyoncé’s partnership with Levi’s and her public denim appearances have turned her into a denim ambassador for 2025. When a global star collaborates with a heritage denim brand, the effect on trends is measurable and long-lasting.
Beyoncé’s collaboration with Levi’s brought special-edition silhouettes into the spotlight, and she has been photographed incorporating denim cargos and moto-inspired denim looks into event dressing. The Levi’s collaboration was publicized on brand channels and covered by fashion media.
How to recreate:
- Look for the Levi’s x collaborators’ special editions for a direct link to Beyoncé’s aesthetic.
- Pair cargo denim with fitted tops and structured coats to balance the silhouette.
6) Kim Kardashian — Blazer + Jeans (Neutral, Tailored Edge)
Kim’s ability to make a simple blazer-and-jeans pairing feel momentous has been observed throughout 2025. Coverage of her transitional-season looks emphasized tailored layering that reads like quiet luxury.
Kim was photographed pairing straight or slim denim with unexpected blazers and bomber jackets — a combination that mixes tailoring with denim’s casual roots. Coverage included late-October and November street-style columns.
How to recreate:
- Try a fitted blazer in camel or black with dark denim and ankle boots.
- Keep accessories minimal and choose clean leather bags and square sunglasses.
7) Kendall + Hailey (Tag-Team Trend: Indigo & Wide-Leg Variations)
Kendall and Hailey are often credited together because their individual spins on denim converge into a broader trend: indigo and wide-leg/low-rise hybridity. Their looks have been cross-referenced in trend reports and influencer roundups.
Both have been photographed wearing indigo jeans — Kendall leaning into darker, retro finishes and Hailey championing a variety of accessible wide-leg options. Their street appearances were widely covered in fashion media.
How to recreate: Mix and match silhouettes inspired by both: try an indigo straight-leg and a relaxed wide-leg to find the shape that suits your body type.
8) Dua Lipa (again) — Double-Denim Tour Looks & Plaid Pairings
Dua appeared multiple times with denim that ranged from cigarette-cut jeans to double-denim Jacquemus sets. Her tour wardrobe is being watched carefully because it mixes runway-level styling with street-friendly combinations.
On tour in South America and during European festival appearances, Dua Lipa paired denim sets with bold prints, trench coats, and Western-inspired belts — all of which were covered by Harper’s Bazaar and other outlets.
How to recreate: Embrace mixing textures: denim + satin or denim + leather will give the same high/low contrast that Dua favors.
9) Gigi Hadid (again) — Cozy Uggs + Baggy Jeans
Aside from high-glam denim-on-denim moments, Gigi has been photographed making cozy Uggs and baggy jeans look aspirational — a sign that oversized shapes and comfortable footwear are being used to modernize denim.
Gigi’s recent NYC airport and outing looks paired baggy jeans with Ugg boots and oversized outerwear, an ensemble that was covered in November-style roundups.
How to recreate: Pair baggy jeans with snug Uggs or chunky boots and a structured coat for balance.
10) Zendaya — Bootcut Jeans with Editorial Flair
Zendaya’s styling choices are often editorial and widely copied. Her decision to tuck bootcut or split-hem jeans into boots or wear them with statement outerwear makes her a denim taste-maker.
Zendaya has been photographed in bootcut jeans tucked into two-toned knee-high boots and pairing denim bottoms with tailored coats — looks which were assembled into London / Fall features.
How to recreate: Try a bootcut jean with a statement boot and a long trench or tailored coat.
Closing thoughts
Denim is being worn with intention in 2025. Celebrity wardrobes are currently functioning as both inspiration and proof of concept: styles that might once have seemed niche are being normalized by high-visibility wearers, then amplified by editors and retailers. Whether a reader prefers the clean indigo lines favored by Kendall or the relaxed low-rise wide-leg confidence of Hailey, there is a denim shape this season that is meant to be tried — and made personal.
