The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show aired this Wednesday, and as always, it gave us motivation to go to the gym, and showed us how to spice up our lingerie with random items like flowered lattice! Perhaps this is why the craft queen, Martha Stewart was in the audience.
This year one of the most prominent trends on the glittering runway was greek goddess meets Xena Warrior Princess. Adriana Lima sported arm cuffs, Karolina Kurkova wore a leather half-corset, and most of the models’ legs were laced up with ribbons. This style was a departure from the typical cute and glitzy looks seen in previous years.
Of course if the Victoria Secret models were to be any sort of actual Greek warrior, it would most likely be Athena. Cue the long and flowing sheer drapery — Miranda Kerr’s gold leaf necklace, and Alessandra Ambrosio’s gold wings. Still, no Victoria Secret Fashion Show would be complete without Heidi Klum strutting around with a giant, twinkling, pink bow attached to her back! But our favorite part of the show? Watching Marisa Miller cure her pre-show nerves with a chocolate glazed doughnut! We loved watching silly backstage moments like these amidst the runway footage. It showed us that maybe we’re not so different from angels afterall!

Over the past few years we’ve seen jean styles go from flare to straight leg, skinny to ultra skinny, and now, skin-tight leggings have practically replaced jeans altogether! For spring, the collections of Miss Sixty, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Diesel Black Gold all featured the boyfriend jean, adding a breath of fresh air to our thighs and to the evolution of this wardrobe staple.
We’ve found the look at a variety of different price points and styles, so anyone can rock the boyfriend jean!
We love the destroyed wash of the classic American Eagle Favorite Boyfriend Jean, only $29.50, and the Silence & Noise Boyfriend Jean from Urban Outfitters, now on sale for $39.99 (was $74), for the cropped look. The Victoria’s Secret Low Boyfriend Jean makes this baggy trend sexy for $59.90. The washed Levis 501 Boyfriend Jean, $168 at Free People, is perfect for those who love the hippie style, and Sarah Jessica Parker has been spotted in this pair of Current / Elliot Boyfriend Jean in Hickory Stripe, available on Singer22.com for $219. Or, for an authentic look, scour your boyfriend’s closet!
To finish the look, sport a form-fitting tee or tank with heels to add a touch of femininity, a black blazer to dress up the jeans, or pair them with an oversized tee and Converse sneakers to achieve a grunge-inspired look.
