Bella Hadid Wore Leather Pants in NYC After Yellowstone Season 5 Cameo

As fashion editors, we get numerous questions regarding current trends and styles. Recently, one topic has emerged more than others: the fate of skinny jeans. While we suspect they may be staging a comeback, it’s clear that fashion icons like Bella Hadid are gravitating toward a chic alternative: leather pants.

Today, while in New York City, Hadid—who had a viral cameo in the first episode of Yellowstone’s season 5—made a striking statement in an all-black ensemble. Her outfit comprised an oversize wool coat, a silk blouse, a Saint Laurent belt, and kitten-heel boots. However, the star of her look was undoubtedly the shiny leather pants that exuded sophistication and edge.

Hadid isn’t alone in her preference for leather pants this season; an array of fashion people, particularly those in L.A., are also embracing this winter staple. Take Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, for instance. This week, she was spotted at a holiday event, looking effortlessly chic in wide-leg leather pants. She complemented her look with an oversize tuxedo blazer, a sheer bodysuit, and open-toe heels, perfectly balancing refinement with a modern twist.
