Brooke Shields Just Wore the Easy-Chic Jeans Look That French Girls Love
It's practically a fact that French girls do easy-chic style like no other sector of the population. As if by nature, they seem to put together outfits with little effort that time and time again look elevated and cool. And one of their favorite combos comes in the form of a blazer paired with jeans and ankle boots. Each piece is good on its own, yes. But together, they form an unbeatable outfit that will never get old.
Brooke Shields clearly sees the winning qualities of the trio because the actress and former model was just spotted wearing all three pieces during her press tour for the new Hulu documentary about her life, Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields. Specifically, Shields wore a black blazer with a graphic T-shirt underneath, mid-wash bootcut jeans, and pointed toe white boots for an appearance on the Howard Stern Show. She went on to accessorize with a red Goyard tote bag and a classic black belt.
Just like the French so often do, Shields made the combo look uncomplicated yet intentional. See her look and more below.
