Celebrities Are Loving the 2025 Flared Jeans Trend—Here Are 5 Stylish Ways to Rock It
Jennifer Lopez Dons Curve-Hugging Dark-Wash Flares
Jennifer Lopez was recently seen in Beverly Hills, sporting high-waisted, dark-wash jeans that flared out at the bottom and accentuated her figure.
The "On the Floor" hitmaker, 55, paired them with a cropped black turtleneck sweater that added a touch of elegance to her look. To complete the ensemble, the Atlas actress chose gold-rimmed brown aviator sunglasses, which complemented her blonde hair with caramel highlights.
Meghan Markle Steps Out In Skinny-Flares From Veronica Beard
Meghan Markle stunned onlookers when she joined her husband Prince Harry at an Invictus Games wheelchair basketball match last week in a cozy and chic get-up. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, stepped out in skinny-flare jeans by Veronica Beard, paired with a navy sweater from La Ligne and heeled boots by Stuart Weitzman.
The mom of two kept her glam simple, sweeping her brunette tresses into a high ponytail. Her jeans stole the spotlight at the Vancouver gathering, as they were slightly slimmer than your typical wide-leg bell-bottoms that widen from the knee to the ankle.
Bella Hadid Gives Her Mid-Rise Flares A Western Twist
Bella Hadid turned heads in New York City wearing mid-rise, dark-wash flared jeans complemented by cowgirl-inspired accessories. Accompanied by her boyfriend, Adan Banuelos, for the premiere of the documentary Horse Sense, the supermodel, 28, sported a collared black shirt from Susamusa.
The Vogue cover girl added a brown leather belt with a buckle that cinched her tiny waist. This also helped emphasize her denim. Hadid's voluminous hair was topped with a black cowboy hat, and she completed her look with a pair of pale suede cowgirl boots featuring a block toe.
Heidi Klum Pairs Classic Flares With Spring-Inspired Florals
Looking ahead to Spring 2025, flared jeans are poised to dominate, paired with a variety of floral designs (florals for spring? Groundbreaking). Heidi Klum was spotted on her way to the America's Got Talent set, donning classic flared jeans.
The runway icon, 51, enhanced her look with a spring-appropriate, long coat adorned with flowers, a purple top for an additional burst of color, matching violet flats embellished with glittering studs, and a quirky camouflage purse to complete the ensemble.
For her sunny day glam, Klum wore her signature dirty blonde tresses with wispy bangs down and added oversized shades. (We're definitely saving this pic for April and May style inspo!)
Katie Holmes Channels 90s Grunge In Baggy Flares With Oversized Flannel
On her way to the Broadway show Our Town last month, Katie Holmes donned a casual get-up reminiscent of the 90s, featuring baggy jeans as the focal point. The Dawson's Creek star, 46, paired a loose-fitting taupe sweater with white kicks, adding a nostalgic touch by layering a brown flannel jacket adorned with a bold black and white plaid pattern.
The Batman Begins alum finished the look with faded blue denim jeans, another iconic piece from the '90s, and accessorized with a relaxed gray beanie, oversized sunglasses, and a small white bag to hold her essentials.
The Bottom Line
As trends shift away from the barrel shape and the resurgence of skinny jeans that have recently dominated conversations and fashion must-haves, a growing number of celebs are now embracing wide-leg flared jeans and looser styles.
This spring, many of us are likely to follow their lead. In this list, you can see how your fave style icons have put together these looks and pick any era you wish to imitate—be it the 70s, 90s, 2010s, or a blend of all three—proving the timeless appeal of flares in today’s fashion landscape.
