Jennifer Lopez’s Surprise $16 Bootcut Jeans Are Summer’s Hottest Trend

There's no question about it: Jennifer Lopez is the style icon of our dreams. She manages to balance a rich, polished aesthetic with a hint of playfulness . . . and we're sure each 'fit costs a pretty penny. However, the "On the Floor" singer was recently spotted in a casually chic getup that actually looks attainable, and it's mainly due to her summer bootcut jeans style.

While strolling outdoors in Paris, France, Lopez gave Us a look that we can't wait to replicate. She donned a long trench coat, button-down shirt, leather belt, black heels and a designer bag. All of these pieces are European chic, however, the most flattering item happens to be her bootcut jeans that provide a leg-lengthening look. Her exact jeans have not been confirmed as yet, but that didn't stop Us from finding a similar option that nails it effortlessly — and the pair is just $16 at Walmart.

The No Boundaries Mid-Rise Baggy Jeans have that relaxed, effortless appearance that totally channels Lopez's Parisian outfit. The mid-rise waist gives you enough coverage, the easy-going fit provides decent airflow and the long length will make you look model-tall. They even have a similar bootcut hem that kicks out at the ankle to balance your curves, just like the A-lister's pair.

Due to the cotton and spandex makeup, the jeans feel light, breathable and a tad stretchy for a comfortable fit while running errands, grabbing brunch or even sightseeing in France. The jeans are so good, some even compare them to high-end styles.

Case in point: "This is a great little treasure," one shopper wrote. "The quality of this denim is right up there with designer denim at four times the price. I'm 5'7" and these work with a flat. I repurchased another pair in long to wear with a heel."

Another shopper who calls them their "new favorite jeans" wrote, "These are insanely good for the price, [and] look so much more expensive. I'm 5'5" with long legs and a short torso, so mid-rise is my comfort zone, and the long length is perfect for me to wear with sneakers."

You can shop the pants in six washes, including black, medium, white and animal print, but the dark-wash style aligns most with the singer's pair. Psst, the dark color also goes with just about everything, including simple white tees, summer blouses and button-down shirts, like the one Lopez wore.

With so many outfit combinations right at your fingertips, it's almost impossible to walk away from these bootcut-style jeans. Grab a pair, walk with J. Lo style and people will think you're a celebrity, too!

Amal Clooney Wore Optical Illusion Jeans Cosigned by Jennifer Lopez—Fall-Ready Styles Start at $44

My list of must-try jean trends for 2026 is growing; it currently includes all the silhouettes one denim expert revealed to me as the must-watch of the year (save for baggy jeans, because I’ve been wearing those for years). That said, one style that didn’t land on said aforementioned list, but is clearly due for big, big things this year, is flare jeans. With a growing list of celebrity fans that includes Meghan Markle, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Cindy Crawford, Kendrick Lamar (you know that moment), and, of course, Amal Clooney, there’s no denying the retro denim style that was popular in the early aughts is back—and bigger than ever.

The fact that Clooney wore flared jeans is noteworthy in and of itself. The human rights lawyer is known for her refined dressing approach, regularly opting for billowy trousers, trendy boho blouses, and comfy sweater dresses—all staples that read elegant and timeless. So, when I spotted her earlier this year in the laid-back blues while out to dinner with hubby George Clooney, I knew I had to write about it. Of course, the fact that she wore flare jeans, the style countless celebs have worn the last few weeks, is noteworthy, too, as it further cements the style’s ‘It’ status for 2026.
