We’re not afraid to admit that we have far too many pairs of jeans.
Yes, some may look like another pair, but the fit is different and it would of course be rude not to own as many styles as possible. Some show off our booties while others elongate our legs.
Some can be worn with heels for a night out while others are great teamed up with trainers for a casual day at the park.
However, sometimes we struggle to find that perfect look and that’s where celebrities come in handy. We heart Rihanna’s take on the boyfriend jeans, while Angelina Jolie shows how to wear the bootcut look and give it a smart edge.
Then there’s Jessica Alba and Alexa Chung who rock the coloured jeans, teaming them with a plain top to really accentuate that hue.
See the gallery below for all the celebrity denim inspiration.

Rihanna: Taken up belly dancing to keep fit
Rihanna is a big fan of CND Shellac manicures.
The ‘We Found Love’ hitmaker has reportedly favoured the long-enduring nail treatment – a four step process that cures under a UV lamp and gives a chip-resistant finish for up to two weeks – since they launched last year.
A spokesperson for the brand said: “Rihanna was one of the very first celebrity fans of CND Shellac! She even wore CND Wildfire Shellac in the music video for Eminem’s ‘I Love The Way You Lie’.”
In Milan last week, Rihanna was treated by CND VIP manicurist for Milan’s Ladybird House Flavia Pitton, who used CND Retention+ Liquid and CND Retention+ Powder to build a strong base before topping it off with a jet-black colour called Black Pool.
The manicurist told Us Weekly magazine: “”I love the easy application and the ‘just like polish’ appeal that make CND Shellac’d nails always so chic, even when you go for a trendy design.”
Rihanna takes her beauty regime seriously and even had a 2am emergency bikini wax earlier this year when shooting a music video in Belfast, Northern Ireland,
A source said: “Rihanna arrived at her hotel very late and the first thing she wanted was a bikini wax. The video shoot was scheduled for the following morning so she didn’t have much time.
“Her assistants got on the case quickly and called some beauticians after finding a directory on the web. It was relief all round when they finally managed to find someone.”

Rihanna is hosting a huge Thanksgiving meal for her band and crew in Dublin, Ireland, tonight.
The ‘We Found Love’ singer is in the city for the latest date of her ‘Loud Tour’ and because everyone is away from home for the annual US holiday today she has decided to treat everybody to a traditional turkey feast.
Rihanna has booked a table at U2 frontman Bono’s favourite pub O’Donoghue’s for the celebration.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “She has reserved O’Donoghue’s pub on Baggot Street for 100 guests. She’s handpicked a special menu laid on by top French restaurant Hugo’s, which is across the street from the traditional Irish pub. Rihanna and her crew have been on the road for a long time and they’re all missing out on sharing the traditional Thanksgiving dinner with their families.”
The 23-year-old pop star is sparing no expense with a menu that includes clam chowder soup and a turkey roast with all the traditional accompaniments.
The source added: “The menu includes clam chowder soup and a turkey dinner with mash, vegetables and cranberry sauce. There will be side dishes of macaroni and cheese, plus sweet potato mash with marshmallow sauce. For pudding there’s apple cobbler with biscuit crumble.”
Rihanna will perform at The 02 in Dublin tomorrow night

Rihanna has unveiled her debut fashion line.
The ‘We Found Love’ hitmaker has created a capsule collection for Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans – both of whom she already fronts advertising campaigns for – comprising of denim and lingerie featuring her R logo and the fashion house’s signature eagle.
The collection includes biker jackets, a canvas rucksack, two styles of jeans – skinny and tight boys cut – t-shirts emblazoned with silhouettes of the singer’s face or animal print designs and lace underwear that come in navy blue and pearl grey.
Rihanna has previously revealed she likes to shock people with her fashion choices.
Talking about her future look, she said: “I probably see a lot of menswear, or something extremely, extremely feminine. But I like to play with both. It would have to be so extreme that it’s a look, because I don’t usually like typical ladylike, girly-girly stuff. It would be a look if I were to do it. I always like something that’s a little off, so it’s just not typical or expected.”

Rihanna will name her second fragrance Rebelle.
The singer launched her first perfume Reb’l Fleur earlier this year and asked her fans to vote on the name of her new fragrance in a poll on her website in which 68 per cent chose Rebelle.
The new scent – which has been “built off the sexy back of Reb’l Fleur” – will go on sale in December.
Rebelle will be packaged in a variation of the original bottle.
Fred Purches, chairman and chief executive officer of Parlux Fragrances Inc – which has been working on the perfumes with Rihanna – said the company is also planning on eventually launching a men’s scent with the singer.
Rihanna has previously revealed Reb’l Fleur was a reference to a nickname her grandmother gave her when she was growing up in Barbados, and she has also had it tattooed on her.
The ‘We Found Love’ hitmaker has long been known to mix different existing perfumes to create her own signature scent and said she wanted her own perfume to reflect the her roots in Barbados as well as her life in New York and Los Angeles.
She has described her first perfume as “like high heels with a short, flirty dress.”

Rihanna surprised clubbers at a London nightclub by giving out sex advice.
The S&M singer was partying at Whisky Mist in Mayfair after her concert at The 02 arena on Sunday to celebrate her brother Rorrey’s 22nd birthday and after Rihanna led the revellers in a singsong, she took it upon herself to offer some wise words for the bedroom.
She said: “I left home at 16 and had to learn to look after myself. But now we’re back friends stronger than ever. Always use a condom.”
Generous Rihanna splashed out on 15 bottles of champagne and six bottles of vodka for her brother and other revellers and then allowed Rorrey to continue partying with his friends and a bevy of beauties at her suite at The Savoy hotel.
A source said: “Rihanna is the best big sister. She sorted for all these girls to accompany her brother back to her hotel, along with friends of his too. They had a great time and she treated them like kings.”
Although the 23-year-old Barbadian superstar provided her brother with a great time, she disappointed some fans last night when she arrived on stage at her concert at The 02 an hour late.
Fans took to twitter to complain with one user roroism writing ”When I met Beyonce she was everythin & more. @rihanna left me devasted & upset today. So unprofressional. I actually feel like Im guna cry. (sic)”
Lee Latchford Evans from recently reformed pop group Steps added: “Loving Rihanna tonight great performance & show. Shame she was 1hr late. Fans booing is not a good start. X (sic)”

Rihanna has been ordered by doctors to curb her partying lifestyle.
The Cheers (Drink to That) singer was forced to pull out of a show in Malmo, Sweden, on Monday after being hospitalised with a bout of flu, and her medical team are concerned she is going out too much while on tour.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Rihanna is running on empty but she’s still been going out drinking and living it up.
“She doesn’t have any down time where she can completely relax. She spends most of her time in the studio, on stage or in clubs. Doctors are worried she’s overdoing it.
“She needs to take some time off. Otherwise she’ll be vulnerable to more illness.”
Rihanna, 23, posted a picture of herself with a drip in her arm from the hospital, and later released a statement apologising to fans for missing the show.
She said: “I am sorry to everyone who was coming out to my show in Malmo. I was so excited to perform for you all.
“It would have been a great time. So much better than being sick with the flu, ugh. I’m really disappointed I couldn’t be there.”
Stars have rushed to wish Rihanna well with friend and mentor Jay-Z and US ‘X Factor’ judge LA Reid sending her flowers.
Rihanna’s ‘Loud Tour’ resumed last night in Stockholm, Sweden.

Rihanna is not the only star to be forced to cancel a planned concert recently – George Michael had to pull out of a gig at London’s Royal Albert Hall last week after he was diagnosed with a viral infection, leaving him with a high temperature.

Rihanna knew she wanted to kiss British boxer Dudley O’Shaughnessy as soon as she saw him.
The 23-year-old beauty – who has been romantically linked to Dudley after previously dating singer Chris Brown and baseball star Matt Kemp – chose the hunk to take part in her new music video for single We Found Love and was smitten with him from the minute they met.
She said: “I met him and I was like let’s f***ing kiss and … you know what I mean. We had to pretend how to fake f**k.”
Rihanna wasn’t the only one who was happy to film the steamy scenes for the new video, with Dudley saying: “I didn’t want it to end.”
Rihanna and Dudley were particularly taken with each other during the shoot with crew members revealing they were constantly flirting.
A source said: “Rihanna was making no secret that she fancied the pants off Dudley. They hit it off straight away. She had seen his modelling shots and other pictures when he was a boxer.
“Rihanna took every opportunity to get close to him and at one point she was sitting in his lap during a break from filming. She’s very tactile anyway, but this was something else.
“Dudley was giggling like a schoolboy when she had to shoot a scene in a see-through top. She was teasing him with a peak of her cleavage and winking at him.
“Dudley can’t believe his luck. Rihanna’s girlfriends are teasing her, singing songs about her romance.”

Rihanna may have taken the tube to her concert at the 02 but we’re sure she didn’t wear any of her stage attire on the way.
The singer looked hot in a crochet beaded bikini which she posed with alongside 50s style cars. She also gave a nod to the 80s with her neon pink shoe boots and bright yellow hoop earrings.
Also making an appearance was a short blue wet look mac, which showed off the singers booty, we’re sure there were no complaints from the males in the audience.
See all the pictures below.
