The moment Kendall Jenner bared her legs in a pair of denim shorts at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival—all dress codes became forever extinct.
The
convention that traditionally casual fabrics, like denim, be reserved
for the street came to a crashing halt. With the supermodel's
non-conformist cutoffs at the helm the movement, the former fashion faux
pas became a red-carpet norm. While the reality-TV star sparked major
dialogue and praise, marking the end of the taboo was not a
single-handed endeavor.
Celebrities from Katy Perry to Kate Hudson graced
formal events, risking ridicule with their acts of denim defiance. Take
careful note, to see how each of these celebrities made sure to elevate
their denim with embroidery, accessories and matching stilettos, to
always avoid feeling undressed.
If Bella Hadid and Naya Rivera's love for coordinating denims is too bold for you, get inspired by Amanda Seyfried's simply stated denim.
Kate Hudson
This Balmain minidress exudes high fashion, as it
further proves denim's place on the red carpet. Just look at the
detailed quilting and gold embroidery woven into the piece. There's no
doubt in anyone's mind that she is perfectly dressed for this occasion.

You have to love a girl who pairs diamonds with
denim, right? The supermodel did just that, in her plunging bodice and
frayed, floor-length denim skirt at the 2017 Met Gala. Given that the
event's theme was "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The
In-Between," the distressed detailing perfectly fell into
place alongwith the night's other deconstructed looks. Talk about
sheer-perfection.

At the 2017 CFDA Fashion Awards, the Moroccan-Dutch
model's embroidered jumpsuit by Adam Selman and denim moto jacket turned
heads, as a veil of blue tulle trailed behind her. This highly styled
jean jumpsuit definitively proved no occasion is too formal for jeans.

The supermodel's 2017 Cannes look was a definite a
break from traditional floor-length gowns, but you have to respect the
unexpected. This look also offers a great, everyday styling tip (you
know, because we can't all go to South of France): Pair skinny jeans or
denim cutoffs with a very voluminous top. This will bring attention to
both your top half and legs.

The
Black-ish star stunned in her distressed
denim in this deconstructed shift dress at the 2017 BET Awards. The
Jonathan Simkhai frock gave the Harvard student just enough edge and
elegance to rock the red carpet or re-purpose it for a more casual
evening.
Amanda Seyfried
If you google fetch, this picture is what appears. At first glance, the former
Mean Girls actress'
dress looks simply navy. Upon further examination, the ruffled gown and
shoes are definitively denim. Style points for all the detailed
stitching and those cascading curls for elevating this otherwise
un-embellished look.
Naya Rivera
You probably never thought torn mom jeans would make it on the red carpet—but they did! The
Glee star paired hers with a puffy long-sleeve top, completing her denim-on-denim look for the 2017 Teen Choice Awards.
Katy Perry
Britney Spears' biggest fan-girl was revealed, when the
Swish Swish singer appeared in a nostalgic Versace denim dress. The look was a clear homage to one of the
Toxic singer's most iconic looks
. Of course, Katy didn't forget the most important accessory: Riff Raff, as
Justin Timberlake.

Bella Hadid
The model is a veteran in rocking
double denim,
but this is a standout look for so many reasons. Her effortless glamour
is all in the details of her accessories, including those giant hoops, a
choker and furry shawl.
