Prince Johann George V Dressed Blake Lively With A £16,000 Valentino Jeans In A Low-Key Move

They look is pretty low-key but is this divisive trend really back already? There’s no denying that Blake Lively is known – and adored by many – for her red carpet fashion moments. After all, who could forget that transformative Versace gown at the Met Gala in 2022, or the metallic pink Prabal Gurung look in 2021, or the powder blue gown – also by Versace – that she wore to Cannes Film Festival in 2016 while pregnant with her second child?

Blake Lively arrived at a surprise screening of It Ends with Us on Saturday in Grapevine, Texas, wearing a pair of Valentino jeans that – having done a little bit of highly-skilled detective work – we can confirm ring in at a cool £16,000.

Not just any old jeans, though.

Never one to over-do things, Blake clearly decided that the embroidered jeans did enough talking themselves and chose to pair the statement pair with a simple white, ribbed tank top and heeled pump.

But, perhaps surprisingly, it wasn’t the price tag that caught our eye first and foremost. Rather, it was the heavily-embroidered, cut-out nature of the jeans that we couldn’t stop thinking about.

Undeniably epic, that goes without saying, but are cut-out jeans really back so soon?

We thought we’d only just shaken off those rips and slashes that encouraged the sort of deeply amusing comments from our older, male relatives about ‘needing a new pair of jeans soon!’ or concerns as to who we ‘got into a scrap with on the way over’.

It feels as though we’ve only just agreed as a collective that un-fussy, un-torn, unapologetically simple tubes of denim on our legs were the way to go with our jeans, and now we’re back at cut-outs again? Already?

At least their new era seems a little more considered than the previous haphazard iterations that, we’ll quietly now admit, often looked as though they could have been the result of a ‘scrap’.
