Just call them shining stars.
Anne Hathaway added some sparkle to the front row of Ralph Lauren’s fall 2025 fashion show on Thursday, wearing cream-colored jeans completely covered with sequins.
And just days before, Blake Lively rocked a blinged-out pair of $2,050 Stella McCartney jeans at an “Another Simple Favor” screening.
Dolly Parton’s worked the look into her nine-to-five, too, collaborating on crystal-studded pull-on pants (or “Joleans”) with Good American.
And in February, Taylor Swift proved bejeweled styles work just as well for warmer weather, making the whole place (or at least the whole Super Bowl VIP box) shimmer with her sparkly shorts.
Yes, embellished jeans are back in a big way — and looking far cooler than they did back in the 2000s, thankfully. And while Lively’s and Hathaway’s versions will cost you thousands, there’s no need to shell out that much cash to get in on the throwback trend.
Below, shop a selection of (literally) shining examples of the look — starting at under $100.
If you’re looking to dip a toe into the trend but aren’t ready to go full sparkle, these Reformation blues are a great place to start.
Free People put a sparkling spin on its signature baggy denim, often spotted on A-listers like Jennifer Lopez.
While bedazzled denim might not exactly scream comfort, Rag & Bone’s known for its super-soft jeans.
Love the look of Taylor Swift’s bedazzled Area jeans, but hate the price tag? This Steve Madden style offers a similar look for less.
While undeniably a splurge, this Frame pair’s on sale for nearly $300 off — and packs some serious sparkle.
If you’re searching for shimmery styles, Good American’s Diamond Life collection is a great place to start your dungaree shopping spree.
If it’s Swift’s 2025 Super Bowl look you’re hoping to copy, her sparkly shorts don’t have to stay in Vegas. These denim cutoffs offer similarly flash for less cash.
