For the past two years, the fashion world has declared skinny jeans out and wide-leg styles in. Celebrities have embraced the return of wide-leg flare jeans, often in luxurious fabrics. Even leggings have been lumped into the "skinny leg" category, leading trend followers to stash away their skinny jeans.
Naturally, those attending Paris Fashion Week or New York Fashion Week dress to impress, aiming to land in the pages of fashion publications. But for supermodels who wear the best of the best and are the envy of all on the catwalk, it’s just another day. They are used to playing dress-up, turning heads, and effortlessly embodying the aesthetic of the apparel they model. Given the current dominance of wide-leg and baggy styles, no one expects to see denim—let alone skinny jeans—gracing the fashion scene. It's the "in look." You can bet that every model stepping out from backstage is most likely wearing loose-fitting, oversized jeans.
So imagine my shock when I saw Kate Moss at Stella McCartney's Fall 2025 runway show in Paris—wearing skinny jeans.
Moss reminded us of the power of knowing oneself, of liking what she likes, wearing what makes her feel good, and embracing what flatters her. It was liberating. She made skinny jeans look fresh and stylish again. She paired them with an oversized bomber jacket, a plunging lace bodysuit, and on-trend platform sandals, channeling a laid-back '70s vibe.
At the end of the day, it’s about looking good, feeling good, and owning your style. That’s what trendsetters and icons do. And Kate Moss didn’t miss a beat.
So, what looks good on you? Will you wear it—or will you bow to the dictates of fashion critics?
