Aside from being Hollywood celebs, there is another thing these ladies have in common: their J Brand Bette wide legged jeans. And because each one has her own take on fashion, the same jeans gets paired with another top and different accessories.

Case 1: Michelle Monaghan

Michelle M paired her J Brand wide legged jeans with a v-neck boyfriend tee in navy, a red belt, nude booties and bag and a grey fedora. The look was very casual, judging from the slouchy top and sensible shoes. She was clearly opting for comfort instead of style on this sunny day in LA. The belt was a nice touch, so was the camel bag. However, if comfort was really tops, the shoes should have been replaced with sandals (wedges come to mind). Perhaps a nice long necklace to seal the look.

Case 2: AnnaLynne McCord

AnnaLynne McCord stepped out in in her J Brand Bette jeans with an earthy toned shirt, sleeves folded up to the elbows. Her shoes appeared to be stiletto pumps in tan, matching her leather belt. The plaid envelope clutch took the place of a regular handbag. Overall, the look was well put together but it would have been a wow outfit had she thrown in some pops of color such as a bright handbag. From afar, the ensemble could look pretty bland. And notice the belt — it looks slightly longer than her waist.

So, what’s your verdict? While you decide, here are some J Brand Bette jeans you can own right now!

Maybe a bit too cool because he had on this Blue Steel face in nearly every single one of his pictures from the event:

Zac Efron attends the premiere for “Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax” at Universal Studios Hollywood in Universal City, California on February 19, 2012

It’s an animated children’s film so why so serious Zac Efron?

Oh well, maybe he’s just matching his mood to his outfit which is really seriously stylin’ by the way.

Zac Efron’s James Dean-inspired movie premiere outfit consisted of a white t-shirt, a Simon Spurr black police leather jacket, his YSL Rolling sneakers and these WeSC jeans:

You can see from the pictures above that his jeans have a light trim at the top of the coin pocket and the back pockets. That helped us identify Zac Efron’s jeans exactly as these WeSC men’s slim jeans in raw stretch selvage:

WeSC men’s slim jeans in raw stretch selvage, $160.00

These jeans are made from ring spun Japanese selvage which we know from J Brand jeans to be an extremely comfortable type of fabric. Thanks to denim labels like WeSC, men finally get to experience this level of comfort in jeans for themselves. You can shop for the WeSC men’s slim jeans at Amazon.

Case in point: the neon jeans. While some might think it too 80′s for their taste, many fashion forward celebs have already been spotted wearing vividly colored bottoms. One of them is Jessica Alba, an A-list dresser whose style is likely being copied by many fashion fiends. I, for one, am a Jessica Alba fan.

UGG has denim-ized their boots! The fresh new look is making waves in the retail market because truly, they are characteristically attractive — in fact, more attractive than their original designs. The cool shades of blue invoke a welcoming feeling for the sunnier side of life. It got me suddenly upbeat in anticipation of the forthcoming seasons, never mind if it’s a tad bit early.

Check out the logo wedges and matching logo espadrille bag! This is one of the rare times when I wouldn’t mind wearing both together. I would spell them C-U-T-E any day!

Nicole Kidman carries her baby daughter Faith after visiting Gymboree play and music center in Los Angeles, California on February 8, 2012

Nicole Kidman was spotted in it while on her way out of Gymboree in Los Angeles, California last Wednesday afternoon. She spent some quality time with her 13-month-old daughter Faith at the play and music center and we think she couldn’t have picked a more cute and comfortable outfit for the mom and daughter play date!

You all know we love double denim and even triple denim outfits here on YourNextJeans and even more so when they’re done right. Nicole gets everything correctly by pairing her blue denim shirt with black denim jeans. She kept things in theme by choosing well-faded and slim-fitted denim pieces and by finishing things off with just-as-casual and low-key Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers.

The first piece in Nicole Kidman’s double denim outfit is this Joe’s Jeans Sexy Western shirt:

Joe’s Jeans Sexy Western shirt, $118.00

Some websites use “sultry” to describe this shirt but it’s described as “sexy” on the Joe’s Jeans website so we’re going with that. You can get this shirt for $118.00 at Neiman Marcus. A non-sexy, relaxed and dark wash version of this Joe’s Jeans denim shirt is currently on sale for $49.99 at Piperlime.

The second piece is this R13 skinny jean in vintage black wash:

R13 skinny jeans, $265.00

These jeans retail for $265.00. You can shop for it at La Garçonne.
