Even your favorite, most broken-in pair of jeans can feel restricting after a long day. We totally get the urge to ditch them entirely for ultimate comfort and freedom. Celebrities embrace no-pants outfits with effortless confidence — whether strutting the red carpet or grabbing coffee on the go. They prove that skipping bottoms can look chic, bold, and surprisingly wearable.
The key? Balance proportions — pair a structured blazer, oversized shirt, or corset top with heels or boots for elongation. Add sheer tights or stockings for coverage without losing the liberated feel.
Ariana Grande
The oversized sweatshirt-and-sneaker/boots look is an Ariana Grande signature. Here, the pint-size singer posted backstage at the 2018 iHeartRadio Wango Tango by AT&T in head-to-toe pink.
Kendall Jenner
Jenner didn’t have to wear pants to look pulled together in this oversized Blaze Milano blazer in February 2019. The buttery leather outerwear, plus gloves and heels, made this outfit feel posh and sophisticated.
Olivia Culpo
The perfect all-white outfit for fall: an oversized pullover with white knee-high boots. Be sure to carry a stain remover pen around…just in case.
Bella Hadid
The model left her hotel in July 2019 dressed down in a button-up shirt and a large denim jacket. The loose and oversized lewk is a celebrity favorite.
Hailey Bieber
The model wore a MM6 Maison Margiela tee with her Jacquemus pantalon boots while running errands around L.A. in September 2019. Luckily, you can still shop for both items to get her West Coast look.
Candice Swanepoel
Celebrities in show-stopping gowns at the Venice Film Festival are a given, so when Swanepoel decided to be a little more low-key and wear just a button-up shirt with a belt and heels, she definitely stood out. The model showed off her statuesque frame without the hassle of pants.
Sophie Turner
Turner and Chopra had a girls’ night out in January 2019. Turner wore a Tommy Hilfiger American flag shirtdress and sneakers, while Chopra slipped into a black ensemble with a snakeskin coat.
Shay Mitchell
The actress wore a minidress so short that it could have been mistaken for a top in March 2019. She compensated for the shortness, however, with a slightly longer matching embellished blazer.
Lady Gaga
The singer looked like she was on her way to chill out and eat pizza in a T-shirt sans pants in June 2019. We fully support this comfortable look.
Emily Ratajkowski
Emrata was spotted in the LES of NYC in July 2019 wearing a button-up shirt and dad sneakers. The star was almost unrecognizable thanks to her laidback attire and sunglasses.
Blake Lively
Lively braved NYC’s wintertime chills without pants in this Monse ensemble while leaving Feinstein’s/54 Below in January 2019. The actress actually glowed, whereas we would have been shivering and pale with discomfort.
Kim Kardashian
The reality star left her SoHo apartment in a voluminous blazer-like dress and white sock boots in February 2017. Some celebrities don’t seem phased by the NYC cold at all.
Hailey Bieber and Joan Smalls
Smalls showed up to a birthday party in April 2018 in nothing but a red jacket and tights (catsuit?) that revealed her undergarments. She wore a pair of thigh-high lace-up boots to make this ensemble party-ready. Meanwhile, Bieber is maybe wearing a minidress under that oversized jacket? It could be a shirt. Either way, no pants!
Jennifer Lopez
Remember the whole lampshading trend in 2017? J.Lo had it down to a science in an oversized white button-up shirt and Versace denim thigh-high boots.
Gigi Hadid
The model walked the runways during fashion week but took a break in September 2018 to enjoy the action from the front row. She repped a Jeremy Scott design while checking out his latest collection.
Kylie Jenner
Almost all the Kardashian-Jenners have tried the no-pants look, including Kylie Jenner, the youngest sister. The star was seen in NYC in February 2016 in a suede jacket dress and knee-high brown boots. We’re guessing winter puffers aren’t really a thing for celebs coming in from the West Coast.
Kourtney Kardashian
The 5’1″ reality star pulled off this plum-colored velour hoodie as a dress while out in Los Angeles in February 2017. Try this look yourself, maybe with boots, the next time you don’t know what to wear.
Margot Robbie
The actress arrived at the show in February 2018 in a full Calvin Klein look. We hardly even noticed the no-pants moment as her fabulous mismatched embellished heels caught our attention first.
Solange Knowles
The singer attended the premiere of her sister’s autobiographical film: Life Is But A Dream,” in NYC in February 2013. She wore a crisp all-white ensemble that gave the illusion of not wearing pants.
Rita Ora
The singer made a fashion statement in July 2016 when she wore a long-sleeve Vetements shirt that said: “May the Bridges I Burn Light the Way.” The length went down almost to her knees, so Ora didn’t need pants. Win-win!
Kendall Jenner
Instead of a sundress, Jenner throws on a Yeezus Tour sweatshirt and heels.
Taylor Swift
At the 2014 VMAs, Swift decided to let her lengthy stems shine in this embroidered Mary Katrantzou onesie.
Lily Collins
Collins was so into her Bambi-emblazoned Givenchy sweatshirt that she ditched bottoms and just went with strappy black heels.
Kesha
For the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, the singer opted for a tunic-like top boasting a high, side-butt-bearing slit.
Miley Cyrus
On Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Cyrus wore an oversized white button-up shirt as a dress.
Lena Dunham
Never one to shy away from showing off what her mama gave her, Dunham’s teal peasant top holds the pants, showing off her legs.
Beyoncé
We can’t remember the last time Queen Bey wore bottoms for a performance, and we’re not mad, especially because it’s in favor of epic, jewel-encrusted bodysuits.
Rita Ora
Rita Ora knows there’s nothing more rock ‘n’ roll than forgetting your pants at home.
Zosia Mamet
The Girls star is always one for an off-kilter look, and we’re loving her white shirt dress with an up-to-there hemline.
Rihanna
Whether you’re a diehard fan or not, a mesh jersey can totally double as a dress, as told by RiRi.
Kourtney Kardashian
Even though a paparazzi run-in is inevitable, Kardashian decides to go pantsless and go solo in this muted blush buttoned blouse.
Sienna Miller
Miller may have caught some flak for this look back in ’07, but considering that the visible, high-rise bottoms had quite the moment a decade later, we think she was way ahead of the trend.
Lady Gaga
The empress of over-the-top cool, Gaga keeps the focus on her oversized leather jacket, bondage-inspired choker, and platform boots sans pants.
Rihanna
RiRi had a leggy moment in a sporty zip-up sweatshirt.
Miley Cyrus
Despite not wearing pants, Cyrus was totally sophisticated in this white double-breasted blazer worn as a dress.
Cara Delevingne
We totally approve when Delevingne nixes bottoms for a velvet-blazer-as-a-dress look.
Kate Moss
The Moss seal of approval is everything, so all you need for your next night out on the town is a sharp black blazer, tights, and heels.
Lindsay Lohan
When you’ve got gold booties like Lohan’s, going pants-less is a non-issue.
Madonna
Madge knows it’s totally punk to keep your badass lingerie on full display.
This trend isn’t just about shock value; it’s empowering and versatile. Celebrities show how to adapt it: street-style casual with cozy layers or glamorous with sparkle. Next time pants feel suffocating, channel these icons — go bottomless and own it.
