The no-pants trend continues its reign at Paris Haute Couture Week [1]. At the Valentino Haute Couture show on July 5, Emma Chamberlain stepped out sans pants in a sheer blouse with floral embroidery and gauzy oversize sleeves. Instead of a regular pair of bottoms, however, the 22-year-old influencer and content creator attended the show in tiny briefs completely covered in pink ostrich feathers. She left the rest of her legs bare, accessorizing with black heels, a matching neck tie, and a pink Valentino micro purse with glittery silver hardware.
At first glance, the fringe created by the wispy pastel feathers made it so that Chamberlain's briefs could almost pass as a miniskirt. But when she stood upright with her arms down, the illusion appeared much more deliberate, following in the footsteps of other celebrities who also ditched their pants for a leggier look. Other verified fans of the no-pants trend [2] include Kylie Jenner [3], Sydney Sweeney [4], and Florence Pugh [5], all of whom have gone pants-less in their own ways, whether it's styling underwear as pants, opting for a pair of tights instead, or nixing bottoms altogether.
Given Chamberlain's cool-girl style, it's not surprising that she would gravitate towards a riskier trend like this. Previously, she wore an asymmetrical studded gown [6] to her very first Met Gala in 2021, working with Louis Vuitton on the final design. An avid thrifter and big proponent of mindful consumption [7], she's also shown love to eclectic accessories and bold fashion [8] risks, and the pants-less trend is no exception. Read on to see how Chamberlain made no pants look so high-fashion.
