When Oscars performers hit the stage, they're generally dressed to the nines in sparkly gowns and a full face of glam. But during her powerful performance of the Top Gun: Maverick track "Hold My Hand," Lady Gaga decided to opt for a more casual look — which certainly didn't fail to turn heads.
Like the true rockstar she is, the Grammy-winning songstress went for a casual yet edgy appearance in a black T-shirt, Converse sneakers, and the breezy denim style that'll be everywhere this spring: ripped jeans.

Love the straight-leg denim jeans that Katie Holmes recently rocked while going for a stroll in New York City? Then you can give the distressed trend a try with the Azokoe Ripped Jeans, which offer more subtle rips at the thigh, knees, and cuffs.
The timeless jeans offer a flattering fit thanks to their straight leg design, which is both comfortable and versatile, allowing you to pair them with practically anything in your closet.
