The Exact Denim Trend to Wear With Leather Jackets This Fall, According to Alessandra Ambrosio
It's not every day an Angel gets her wings, but finding her perfect jeans? That's another story. Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio returned to the 2026 VS Fashion Show for her 20th anniversary, wearing quintessential model off-duty style: blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and a leather jacket.
Obviously, this casual getup is much more comfortable than, say, the $5 million Victoria's Secret Dream Bra worn by Kylie Jenner this year; it's also a simple outfit formula that works for just about everybody.
While a cool biker jacket looks good with any style of denim, Ambrosio's Mother jeans, called The Reifler, are perfect for this model's backstage moment. Described as a "straight-leg style with a bit of a kick," they borrow from denim's best decades: The '70s, '80s, and '90s. The exact wash Ambrosio wears feels even more vintage with subtle fading, whiskering, and distressed details straight out of the grunge era. Even Courtney Love would approve.
