Lila Moss Just Wore the Ageless Jeans-and-Jacket Pairing That Kate Has Worn for Years

If either Kate or Lila Moss declares a trend has arrived, you can be sure it's officially here. And this week, the younger of the two firmly planted herself in the pro-skinny jeans camp, putting an end to any debate about whether the divisive denim is making a comeback.
Stepping out for an evening event in London, Lila Moss made the once-controversial style feel undeniably effortless. Her trick? A refined, neutral palette and some very worthy inspiration. Dressed in an all-black ensemble, save for a white silk tank top, her look was the epitome of understated elegance. The streamlined fit of her skinnies only amplified the polished silhouette, proving that this contentious cut can, indeed, feel modern again.
Of course, Lila’s ability to make the trend look so natural shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, her mother, Kate Moss, has long been one of the most devoted champions of skinny jeans. Having grown up surrounded by such iconic style, it’s no wonder Lila’s approach to the trend felt effortless—almost instinctive.
While Lila’s look feels completely fresh for 2025—largely because we’ve seen so little of skinny jeans in recent years—there was something strikingly familiar about it. On closer inspection, it became clear that her outfit was almost a direct callback to a look Kate wore back in 2012. The similarities were uncanny: the same sleek, form-fitting denim, the same elegant black blazer, even the same fuss-free approach to styling. The only notable update? Lila swapped her mother’s classic black heeled boots for a pair of trending pointed-toe heels, adding a subtle nod to current footwear favourites.
It’s proof that sleek styling transcends both trends and generations.
