What do Mena Suvari, Ashley Olsen and Vanessa Hudgens have in common? Their appreciation for some seriously ravaged denim!
On Saturday, American Horror Story star Suvari covered up in a fur-lined parka, leopard scarf and combat booties. Her only ventilation? Seriously slashed denim.
That same day, Olsen stepped out in N.Y.C. sporting a menswear-inspired overcoat, a doctor’s bag by The Row and black skinnies — with conspicuously cut-out knees.
Two days later, Hudgens, whose penchant for throwback looks has not gone unnoticed this year, rounded out the trifecta. Wearing a cropped shearling and vintage-style accessories, the star completed her look with (what else?) distressed denim.
We’re always open to Hollywood-inspired trends, but want to know what you think. Tell us: Are ripped jeans a trend or simply a dead end?
