We're more used to seeing Catherine Zeta-Jones dressed to the nines on the red carpet, but we always love to see what celebrities choose to wear on more dressed-down days.
She was pictured in Rome recently, and she embraced two of the biggest denim trends 2026 in her casual outfit: straight-leg jeans and turn-ups. The fit of the jeans is really flattering - slim but not too skinny, and when styled with a pair of Chanel trainers, it was a comfortable yet glamorous look for exploring the Eternal City.
I particularly love how CZJ accessorised her jeans and a jacket outfit with a printed red neckerchief, a white crossbody bag - also by Chanel - and a baseball cap. It's an elevated layered look that's spot on for the very unpredictable weather we're having at the moment.

This supersoft style is up there amongst the best M&S jeans. The turn-up detail is a little more subtle than on Catherine's jeans, but it still ticks the trend off your list. One reviewer wrote: "Best jeans ever, so comfortable, so good I've got two pairs in two shades."
Finding the most comfortable trainers for you is a must at this time of year. The last thing you want when you're wandering around the wonders of the world is blisters! A classic monochrome colour palette is always a good idea, as it will work with everything you're packing to take on holiday.
For just £13, this is the perfect way to replicate Catherine's chic style. Not only will a neckerchief give you a little bit of extra warmth and coverage, it's an easy way to add a pop of colour to a plain white T-shirt or black jacket.
Bomber jackets are a big deal at the moment, and this embroidered option from British clothing brand AllSaints is particularly luxurious. It's also available in white.
These have a similar cuff to Catherine's jeans - it's a small detail that just tells the world you're up to date on the latest trends!
This Uniqlo bag needs no introduction, but it really is perfect for taking on holiday. It's available in loads of different colours, you can go hands-free by wearing it across your body, and it's surprisingly roomy.
Turn-up jeans have been a big hit with A-listers lately, with everyone from Charlize Theron to Sandra Bullock wearing them. A lot of the styles I've been seeing on the high street have been wide-leg jeans, so I really like this slimmer, fresher way of leaning into the look.
Straight-leg jeans are flattering for most body types and aren't likely to fall out of fashion any time soon, so they're worth investing in. And with the turn-up trend, you can of course try it on a pair of jeans you already have in your wardrobe, although a style that comes with a cuff will always look a little neater.
