by Aemilia Madden

There's no avoiding the fact that leggings have become a wardrobe staple you can style for basically any occasion. Look no further for proof than some of our favorite trendsetting style stars. Headed out for a night on the town, or simply navigating the airport, stylish celebs turn to leggings all the time. The style once may have been relegated to the athleisure sphere, but that no longer holds true (just check out this $1400 pair, and we think you'll agree).

Now that we could theoretically wear leggings 24/7, we find ourselves always in need of more inspiration. So how have celebs been wearing theirs of late? We rounded up a few outfits currently inspiring us and broke down how you can put them together too. Break out those leggings, and wear them the way that inspires you most.
