Natalie Portman's smart casual styling will change your mind about turn-up jeans if you're not convinced yet

Natalie Portman seen arriving at "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" in Midtown on May 21, 2025 in New York City.

Turn-up jeans are, ahem, turning up everywhere at the moment.

From Meryl Streep's cuffed jeans and espadrilles combination to Sarah Jessica Parker's rolled-up skinnies, fashion is leaving no hem unturned for 2025.

Natalie Portman is the latest celebrity to embrace this denim trend, and I truly believe if you're on the fence about this seemingly simple twist on a classic, you'll be sold when you see her ensemble.

She was pictured in Rome, and since she was in town for a Dior show, it almost goes without saying that her sunglasses and bag were both by the fashion house. But it was the chunky dad trainers (also by Dior!) and her houndstooth blazer that really surprised me - and took this look to another level.

woman&home's Fashion Editor Rivkie Baum explains why this look works so well: "Cool and casual, Natalie Portman leans on a timeless ensemble for a simple but polished finish.

"A tailored blazer is a great replacement for spring outerwear, delivering polished coverage in rising temperatures. Her baggy jeans are bang on trend for 2025, and paired with a chunky soled trainer, the whole look feels relaxed, yet directional."

How to style yours

A detail as tiny as turn-up cuffs might feel like a small update to your denim collection, but it's proof you know your stuff when it comes to trends.

If you didn't join the barrel leg jeans bandwagon last year, this is a much easier trend to embrace, in my opinion, as it's a silhouette that works for so many body shapes. And since it's a style that's set to stick around, it's worth investing in!
