Tessa Thompson Tests Out the Season’s Trickiest Denim Trend
Denim is a mainstay in most wardrobes, but finding the perfect pair is far from simple. An array of new options—acid wash, patchwork, and frayed hem among them—means there’s plenty to experiment with and fashion-forward celebrities seem eager to push beyond basic blue. At the Sundance Film Festival this morning, Tessa Thompson showed off the latest trend in Solace London’s Tay wide legs. High-rise with an oversized ruffle running down the side, Thompson’s jeans took her black-turtleneck-and-boots combo to the next level.
The unexpected ruffle detail added a touch of flamenco flair to Thompson’s repertoire without distracting from the other elements of her outfit. As one of the 2019 festival’s jurors, Thompson has been on hand for all the important events and worn a variety of eye-catching looks selected by stylist duo, Wayman and Micah. From choosing a crimson Pyer Moss look for at Sunday’s Sex, Politics, Film, and TV reception to sparkling black Thom Browne onstage at a Sundance Institute panel, she’s kept things fresh. Her latest moment continued the series of terrific looks with the most essential item of all in everyone’s wardrobe: blue jeans.
