Jackson Lee / Splash NewsRemember the mid-2000s when seemingly everyone was wearing designer jeans?
High school students were rocking 7 for All Mankind, J Brand and Joe's Jeans. Even True Religion and Ed Hardy were having a spectacular, rhinestone-encrusted moment. Then, something happened—let's call it the recession—and designer denim was no longer a must-have...even among the rich and famous who could afford it.
Fast forward to 2017, to when denim trends are pushed to the boundaries. We still have throwback mom jeans and boot-cut denim. We have weird, almost-annihilated fabrics. We have trends that look almost uncomfortable to wear. So with all the choices out there, which brands are celebrities like Gabrielle Union and Lily Collins regularly turning to?
The results may surprise you. Sure, there are still a few designer options in the mix. But, stars are also loving budget-friendly and body-positive brands, too. Keep scrolling to see the top five brands ruling the celeb market right now.
Old Navy
Pretty surprising, isn't? But, yes, even celebs like Kate Bosworth love their budget-friendly denim. The brand's Rockstar jeans are actually very flattering, having just the right amount of stretch in the legs and compression in the booty area. The actress paired her High-Rise Rockstar Built-In Sculpt Skinny Jeans with a tee and sneakers while out and about.

If Blake Lively can hit the pavement in the brand's Rockstar 24/7 Jeans, so can we. The $40 price tag doesn't hurt either. Of course, we won't be pairing ours with a $2,700 bag and $500 shoes.

Black Orchid
While this brand is available at popular retailers like Revolve and Bloomingdale's, it may be a tad bit lesser known than other denim labels. However, when it comes to the day-to-day celeb errands, you'll often spot them in a pair of Black Orchids. Lily Collins has been snapped in different styles multiple times. This brand is a low-key celeb favorite.

That doesn't mean you can't dress them up for events either. Follow in Olivia Palermo's footsteps and pair your with a knotted button-down, heels and a statement jacket.
