Black denim is quietly becoming the winter wardrobe MVP. Katie Holmes, Jennifer Garner, and Gwyneth Paltrow are proving the same pair can handle coffee runs, office parties, and date nights with only a quick swap of shoes and tops.
How the Stars Are Wearing Them
Holmes strolled NYC in roomy black jeans, a light jacket, and a cross-body bag for an effortless daytime vibe. Garner elevated her pair with gold-tone hardware that reads almost cocktail-ready in an Instagram snap. Paltrow leaned into polish-balloon-sleeve blouse, pointed-toe shoes-showing how easily the denim dresses up.
