Capri pants are trending again and now, celebrities are leaning into a high-waisted version. The capri pants trend began in the 1950s, with figures like Audrey Hepburn popularizing the trend. Earlier, styles were worn with a lower rise in later revivals. In 2026, it has evolved into a high-waisted version, often paired with structured outerwear like bomber jackets and heeled flip-flops.

Hadid has worn the trend on multiple occasions. While hosting a REVOLVE Los Angeles launch event in March, she styled her capri leggings with a strappy top and cropped leather jacket worn off the shoulder. On a separate day, during a fragrance promotion appearance,  she was seen in a black high-neck bomber jacket paired with matching capri pants, accessorized with sunglasses.

The singer however, took a different direction during a recent outing. Instead of the usual black styles seen on others, she brought in color with a leopard-print capri pants. She paired it with pink heels and a matching top with a plunging neckline, with chain detailing. She completed the look with sunglasses and carried matching Labubu accessories.

Jennifer Lopez rarely goes unnoticed on the red carpet, and the Los Angeles premiere of Office Romance was no exception. She arrived in a vintage Atelier Versace gown from the Spring/Summer 2004 couture collection. The piece was sourced from vintage archive dealer LILY et Cie and styled by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn.

The gown is a strapless design with a structured corset-style bodice. The upper section includes nude illusion mesh panels framed by black structural elements and horizontal crystal-embellished bands across the bust and belly.

The bodice features sculptural detailing and crystal-accented construction that shapes the waist. The design is in layers of black fabric, with structure and embellishment across the upper half of the dress.

It extends into a full black skirt with volume and a sweeping train. The skirt features embroidered and metallic detailing in a looser, less structured arrangement than the bodice.

Lopez styled the look with straight hair with a center part. Her makeup was in bronzed tones and nude-toned lip. She wore Cartier jewellery that complemented the neckline and structure of the gown.

The appearance continues Lopez’s documented relationship with Versace archival pieces, particularly designs from the early 2000s couture period, revisited here through a 2004 runway-era gown brought back to the red carpet.
