In 2024, we witnessed many eye-catching celebrity fashion moments, including embellished cardigans, gold trousers, and big bows. But the most wearable fashion trends we spotted this year — and are taking into 2025 — are simple twists on wardrobe staples. 

If you want to give your closet an A-list-inspired upgrade in the new year, a pair of comfortable yet stylish jeans is a great investment. We rounded up five of our favorite celeb-worn denim trends, seen on stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, and Jessica Alba. Shop flares, wide-leg styles, barrel jeans, and more fashionable styles from Levi's, Gap, Old Navy, Amazon, and more.

Flare jeans made a big comeback this year, so we're definitely snagging a pair to add to our wardrobes in 2025. The style fits slimmer in the hips and tapers into a wider ankle, which helps make legs appear visually longer. Pair them with comfy sneakers like Gwyneth Paltrow does for a casual lunch, or elevate your look by donning a blazer á la Nicole Kidman

Wide-Leg Jeans Inspired by Celebrities

If there's one style that has permanently earned a spot in our closets this year, it's wide-leg jeans. The style is comfortable, flowy, and easy to dress up or down. Whether they're high-waisted or sit low on the hips, wide-leg jeans look good on anyone at any age. Pair them with sneakers like Katie Holmes or an oversized blazer like Jennifer Lopez.

The Ribcage jeans from Levi's are a classic, popular cut for a reason: They're booty-shaping, come in multiple hues, and have a light amount of stretch for comfort. The dark gray is a similar shade to Blake Lively's pair but with a slimmer fit.

Barrel Jeans Inspired by Celebrities 

These cowboy-inspired jeans were all the rage in 2024, and we're planning on snagging a few more pairs for ourselves in 2025. The wide-legged style tapers in towards the ankles, creating a unique barrel shape that's super on-trend. Julianne Moore styled hers with a matching denim top (hello, Canadian tuxedo!), and Sandra Bullock's white-on-white outfit looks effortlessly cool.

Despite the resurgence of low-rise jeans, their high-cut cousins maintained popularity this year. High-rise jeans create an optical illusion that makes legs look longer, and they comfortably hold in one's stomach for added security. Stars like Selena Gomez and Jennifer Garner have made serious cases for the return of higher-cut pants, and Reese Witherspoon's belted pair had us pining for a pair of our own. 

Sofia Melissa Flare High Rise Jeans

Walmart

These high-rise jeans are made with a touch of spandex, which helps the denim stretch and move with you. They have a trendy flared ankle and come in both straight and plus sizes. 

Universal Thread High-Rise Sailor Jeans 

Target

A wide, cropped leg and a high-rise cut make these jeans stand out from the pack. The sailor-esque jeans are a comfortable and flattering style that we'll definitely take into 2025.
