As fashion editors, we get numerous questions regarding current trends and styles. Recently, one topic has emerged more than others: the fate of skinny jeans. While we suspect they may be staging a comeback, it's clear that fashion icons like Bella Hadid are gravitating toward a chic alternative—leather pants.
While in New York City today, Hadid—who had a viral cameo in the first episode of Yellowstone's fifth season—made a striking statement in an all-black ensemble. Her outfit comprise an oversize wool coat, a silk blouse, a Saint Laurent belt, and kitten-heel boots. However, the star of her look was, undoubtedly, the shiny leather pants that exuded sophistication and edge.

Hadid isn't alone in her preference for leather pants this season. An array of fashion people, particularly those in L.A., are also embracing this winter staple. Take Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, for instance. This week, she was spotted at a holiday event looking effortlessly chic in wide-leg leather pants. She complemented her look with an oversize tuxedo blazer, a sheer bodysuit, and open-toe heels, perfectly balancing refinement with a modern twist.
