Jennifer Lawrence just resurrected the 2000s off-duty uniform-Ugg boots plus black leggings-and gave it a 2026 upgrade. The sighting, captured last week in New York City, sent one Midwest-bred writer straight back to high-school hallways where the combo once reigned supreme.

The Outfit Breakdown

Lawrence stepped out in the Ugg Classic Short II Boot, priced at $190 and available at Zappos and Ugg. She matched them with the Alo Yoga High-Waist Airlift Legging, retailing for $134 on the Alo Yoga website. The chestnut sheepskin boots and matte-black leggings created a streamlined silhouette that nods to the past while feeling current.

The writer, who grew up in the Midwest during the 2000s, recalls the original pairing: “Ugg boots and leggings were an unavoidable package deal.” Over time, pant legs widened and feet outgrow old favorites, so the combo was shelved-until Lawrence’s stroll through SoHo jogged the memory.

  • Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant – $98 at Lululemon
  • Sinophant High-Waisted Leggings – $6-$8 (down from $10) on Amazon

Why the Combo Works

The writer notes that the Ugg sheepskin lining kept feet “so toasty” they had to be removed indoors, while the chestnut color acted as a “status symbol.” Alo Yoga’s version adds a “subtle sheen” that dresses the ensemble up, making it suitable for coffee runs or post-gym errands.

Lawrence previously wore the Ugg Classic Micro Boot, proving one pair is never enough. The writer, now converted, plans to rotate multiple styles just like the actor.
