Julia Roberts is another celebrity who is giving fanfare to flares: jeans.
Last week, the Notting Hill star, 57, visited The Kelly Clarkson Show in a denim style that is making a comeback. She showed up wearing what appeared to be $325 flared jeans by British brand Me + Em. It had prominent patch pockets for a slightly retro feel, and the dark wash matched perfectly with her blue blouse and tan blazer, also from the brand.
We’d never seen Roberts wear flares before, but it was only a matter of time. They’ve taken the streets by storm like Jennifer Lopez, Sharon Stone, Meghan Markle, and Kelly Clarkson, so we expected to see them again soon. Below, find pairs inspired by her style starting at just $32.
Flare jeans inspired by Julia Roberts
Kut from the Kloth anafre jeans with patch pockets
Amazon
These pants are very similar to Roberts’ and cost $201 less. It has prominent patch pockets that further enhance the ’70s aesthetic, and features a more subtle, understated flare. Amazon only has a few sizes in stock, but luckily Nordstrom also sells it. The only caveat? The latter is not sold.
Spanx Redefine Flare Jeans

This Spanx pair should also be at the top of your list. The fabric is designed to sculpt the thighs, midriff and butt area, making one shopper’s legs look “longer and leaner.” Additionally, they say the jeans have a “moderate amount of stretch and are extremely comfortable to wear all day.” (When do jeans and comfort become the same sentence?) You can also choose from three inseams: regular, tall, and petite, so you can save yourself a trip to the tailor.
Quince Luna stretch flare jeans
Quince
Quince, a brand worn by celebrities and loved by editors, makes super-stretch jeans that fit athletic, curvaceous and petite bodies, according to shoppers. The silhouette is much more sophisticated than Roberts’ pair, so if wide-leg styles tend to overwhelm your frame, this might suit you better. It also has a mid-rise waistline, which may be more comfortable for people with shorter torsos.
