Famous people wearing jeans, Famous jeans Did you know that some people observe Blue Jeans Day on Dec. 5? We’re celebrating by taking a look back at some of the more memorable jeans aficionados since Levi Strauss patented his famous pants way back in 1873 (get the history details). Keep reading to see if you can guess who’s donning these denim looks.
Motorcycle movies
This Hollywood Oscar winner didn’t bring home the golden statue for his role as the leader of a biker gang in this 1953 movie, but his iconic look inspired legions of teenage “greasers.”
R&B fashion
This singer released her first album while still a teenager and went on to star in a sitcom, play a beloved princess and even land a spot on a TV dance competition.
Presidential vacation homes
This two-term commander in chief (how many have there been?) was often spotted doing manual labor at his ranch in a small Texas town instead of spending time off at the official presidential retreat.
Farming presidents
This Democratic president (from which state?) ran the family farm (what did they grow?) before entering state politics and eventually winning the presidency in 1976. Who was his opponent?
Actors who died young
This movie legend – the first actor to earn this distinction – is still popular more than 50 years after he died in a car accident at the age of 24. What was he driving?
Dance movies
This actress’s 1960s-era fashions in a 1987 hit dance movie (where did it take place?) made cuffed jean shorts popular again two decades later.
Celebrity couple look-alikes
This now-divorced actress – spotted wearing these “boyfriend” jeans on several occasions – was sometimes accused of looking too much like her husband during their six-year marriage.
NBA fashion
This basketball Hall of Famer – who has a signature sneaker and is the spokesman for a popular underwear line – showed up to an event in 2008 wearing mom jeans.
’80s music videos
This British singer had a huge hit in 1987 after he left his former group, thanks to the song’s video (watch it), which featured him shaking his Levi’s-clad backside in front of the camera.
1950s actresses
This silver-screen legend (where was she born?) – who donned denim for her last role – married both a legendary playwright and a New York Yankee, and was linked to a president before her untimely death in 1962. How did she die?
Presidential fashion
This commander in chief was accused of wearing “mom jeans” (watch the “Saturday Night Live” spoof) at a Major League Baseball game (which one?) in 2009.
First-lady style
This first lady became a fashion icon by donning trendy colored jeans, elegant gowns by previously little-known designers, comfy cardigans from a popular retail chain and occasionally sporting $500 sneakers.
Presidential ranches
This former movie star and governor (from which state?) spent nearly 25 years at his beloved ranch, which produced many photos of him wearing denim and cowboy hats. Who owns it now?
Famous supermodels
This German supermodel (where was she born?) was discovered in this city, gained fame in the 1990s as the face of an American clothing company and later became engaged to a well-known magician.
Former child stars
This 15-year-old model’s provocative 1980 ad campaign (watch videos) for these jeans wouldn’t be the last time the American clothing company raised eyebrows.
Celebrity weight battles
This singer/fashion mogul admitted (to whom?) that her “mom jeans situation” at this annual event in 2009 had been her lowest point in the last few years, despite divorcing her famous husband and dating a notorious (alleged) womanizer.
1990s star couples
This pop-music power couple appeared covered head to toe in matching denim (see other matching celebrities) at a huge industry event in 2001. Who was their stylist?
Famous album covers
This New Jersey born-and-raised rocker (in what city was he born?) became a music icon with his 1984 album, whose cover featured a photo of his rear end in faded jeans in front of an American flag. Which famous photographer took the shot?
1960s actresses
This bombshell’s low-rise, skin-tight hip-hugger jeans in a 1968 crime comedy (who was her famous co-star?) are still some of the sexiest pants to ever appear on the silver screen.
