A Celeb Stylist Told Me the Jeans Brands Celebrities Buy for Themselves
It's no secret that many of the amazing designer clothes that celebrities wear aren't pulled from their own closets—they're expertly curated by the posh puppeteers of the fashion industry: the stylists. That's why I think the truest barometer of celeb approval is what they end up buying with their own money. Thanks to their stylists, actresses get access to every designer under the sun, but only a select number actually gets put into their daily rotation.
So how does Hollywood's best dressed really spend their money? I tapped celebrity stylist Tiffany Briseno to find out. I asked her about which denim brands celebs are gravitating towards right now, and as expected, she had all the answers. "Denim is such a standard staple in everyone's wardrobe, and that includes celebrity style off the red carpet," Briseno told me. Scroll down to shop the top five celebrity-loved denim brands, according to Briseno.
1. Mother Denim
"This brand not only has a great quality of the fabric, but there is a perfect ration of stretch and structure to the fabric. Also, the brand itself really appeals to the current pop culture. They have fresh and youthful marketing behind their visuals."
On Cindy Crawford: Mother The Hustler Ankle Fray Jeans ($228)
Classic skinny jeans will never get old.
2. Frame
"When it comes to skinny jeans, Frame is the go-to for many celebs. The styles look and feel like denim, but truly it's like you're wearing comfy leggings (or 'jeggings,' as some would say). Sidebar: I'm not trying to make that word come back. It's definitely one of those that is shelved with 'skort.'"
On Meghan Markle: Frame Le Garcon Crop Boyfriend Jeans ($220)
If they're good enough for (former) royalty, they're good enough for me.
These are the same style as Meghan Markle's jeans, just in a different color.
These jeans are as chic as any wool trousers, if you ask me. Plus, baggy jeans are very on-trend right now.
This coated material gives the illusion of badass leather pants.
These popular jeans boast over 60 glowing reviews on Nordstrom's website. Shoppers often cite how comfortable and well-fitting they are.
3. Levi's
"Of course, countless past and current celebs in Levi's have made many of our Pinterest boards for sure. Vintage is always a good idea. The classic Levi's is also always a good idea. When you can find a pair that's lived-in with that added vintage charm, now that is a great find for your everyday wardrobe."
On Camila Mendes: Levi's Wedgie Straight Jeans ($98)
Clearly, Camila Mendes has good taste, because this is an absolute classic style.
These jeans have excellent reviews at Nordstrom. One customer put it perfectly: "The fit is comfortable and flattering dressed up or down, and there are never any awkward areas to cover up or adjust throughout the day. They also retain their shape despite activity or washing. I’ll be living in these. They’re absolutely perfect."
Fashion editors are obsessed with these jeans.
These jeans will literally go with everything in your closet.
4. Acne
"Many celebs embrace this brand for casual looks but the denim is really the star. The fits are classic, and as soon as you put them on, you feel like you're getting a hug around your hips."
On Margot Robbie: Acne Studios 1997 Trash Jeans ($320)
Patchwork will be a major 2021 trend. You heard it here first.
5. Ksubi
"The rise on these jeans is perfection. Simply put, your backside is on point in any Ksubi jeans."
On Hailey Bieber: Ksubi Chlo Wasted Karma Jeans ($190); Alexander Wang polo; Chanel bag; Jennifer Fisher earrings; Chloé sneakers; Chaos iPhone case
I love how Hailey Bieber styled these exact jeans with high-top sneakers.
I told you baggy jeans are all the rage right now.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
