Nicole Kidman Styled Her Adidas Sambas in the Chicest Way

Yes, Sambas and jeans are still a very viable outfit option in 2026. Just because these wear-with-everything trainers aren’t quite as ubiquitous as they were a couple of years ago doesn’t make them any less chic. In fact, I’d argue the opposite. Now that they’ve taken a slight step back from the spotlight, they feel all the more considered.

That said, keeping Sambas feeling current is all about how you style them. Whilst a pair of pooling wide-leg jeans with a Samba’s signature rounded toe peeking out transports me back to 2024, swapping in a slimmer stovepipe jean gives the classic trainer a much fresher feel.

Making the case for the combination this week, Nicole Kidman reached for a pair of slim-fitting stovepipe jeans, which she anchored with a classic white pair of Adidas Sambas. Elevating the ensemble with a lustrous white satin blouse layered beneath a tailored grey blazer, Nicole combined one of this season’s key denim silhouettes with a blouse trend that’s been everywhere throughout summer 2026, creating a modern outfit with a timeless energy.
