See? Even Celebrities Live in Leggings—13 Elevated Outfits I'm Copying ASAP

Leggings, once relegated to gym workouts, have now found their way into the everyday regalia of A-list celebrities who seem to be wearing them on rotation—just like the rest of us are—now that temperatures have started to take a downturn. From Victoria Beckham to Rochelle Humes, lately, the stars are turning the athleisure staple into a versatile fashion statement that effortlessly transitions from cosy loungewear to chic street style.

Picture Kendall Jenner striding confidently in stirrup leggings paired with kitten heels—a look that could easily be mistaken for a runway moment during her coffee run. Laura Harrier? She's blending luxury pieces such as wool maxi coats and minimalistic leather boots with leggings for a high-low look that exudes sophistication (and apparently works for the airport, too!). Rosie Huntington-Whiteley? She's mastering the art of private jet style, pairing her split hem leggings with a fur coat like it's second nature. And then there's Zoë Kravitz, who manages to make leggings look like couture with sunnies and a dramatic top. Who needs jeans anyway?

With so many celebrities setting the trend, leggings offer a blend of comfort and versatility, making them the ultimate wardrobe chameleon. Whether you're running errands or planning on elevating them for an evening out, these celebrity leggings outfits will help you unlock the limitless potential of leggings in your own wardrobe.
