Yep, it’s true—the stirrup-legging resurgence is finally here. Let’s talk about it.

There are certain trends I once assumed would stay in the archives forever, but then stirrup leggings surprised me by having a tiny moment back a few years ago. Now, in 2025, they’re bigger than ever, and they really are here to stay. They lived in my mental “only acceptable for ballet class and ’80s fitness videos” folder—until designers and celebrities started styling them in ways that made me turn my head. Suddenly, they looked polished, elevated, and even… chic? I wasn’t prepared.

Now, I’m seeing them everywhere: tucked into kitten heels, peeking out from pointed-toe mules, styled with oversize coats, and worn by all the usual trendsetters—yes, including Hailey Bieber. Naturally, I did a deep dive. Below, see the best celeb and influencer outfits, plus the stirrup leggings worth trying if you’re ready to embrace the comeback.

How Celebs Are Styling Them

The ultimate fashion-person way to wear stirrup leggings is to make them look all grown up. Leave it to Katie Holmes to style her stirrup leggings with heels, a peplum statement jacket, and an oversize bag. This is an outfit that would make anyone think you hired a secret stylist.

Airports, meeting rooms, and quick errands would all be made just a little bit better if they included this look Kendall Jenner is wearing. A good cashmere sweater, a fur clutch, and kitten heels will do the trick if you’re still short on ideas.

Here’s another outfit formula that you could put together in your sleep. Just grab your most oversize blazer, and put it right on top of those stirrup leggings to get Hailey Bieber’s signature effortless look. A shopping bag filled with green juices just might be the perfect finishing touch.

FYI, your blazer doesn’t have to be oversize! Victoria Beckham brought her forever-timeless personal style to this trend with a more muted look. The contrast between the black stirrup leggings and white pumps is a total move.
