Padma Lakshmi Is the Latest to Wear This Controversial Denim Trend

Publish date: 2024-05-07

I'm starting to think Bella Hadid's time spent at Yolanda'sPennsylvania farm influenced Hollywood more than anyone realized. It's not that other celebrities are suddenly planting 1,500 lavender seeds or taking selfies with baby goats, but they've certainly started dressing the part in what feels very gardencore.

The Hadids spent much of their time on the farm wearing overalls, utility pants, and lots and lots of denim jumpsuits. Jumpsuits were originally made in the early 1900s for parachuters to wear while jumping from planes, and during World War II, women wore them strictly for utilitarian purposes, as Rosie the Riveter famously demonstrated. Now, supermodels like the Hadids wear them while gardening and doing Vogue editorials on a $3 million farm. Celebrities like Padma Lakshmi and Katie Holmes also wear them while walking around New York City, probably on their way to some fabulous destinations, if I had to guess.

It's safe to say that Lakshmi and Holmes (who has worn the look for years) are not wearing denim jumpsuits to complete any arduous task, but for the simple reason that they're just extremely cute and easy. It's a one-and-done kind of outfit that you can throw on, and it looks just as good with accessories as it does without. Denim jumpsuits are also easy to find for as little as $66 on sale at Nordstrom — though people are clearly catching on to the celeb-loved trend because sizes are quickly selling out.

While I must admit Hadid did look extremely good gardening in her denim jumpsuit over the past couple of years, Lakshmi and Holmes make me want to wear one while going on strolls this summer with no destination or plan in mind. And if Yolanda wants to mail me an invite to Pennsylvania, I'll already have the look to dress the part.
