Kate Beckinsale Shows Us the True Meaning of Hot Pants on the Red Carpet

Ahh, sexy simplicity. It's a look Kate Beckinsale has mastered time and time again. Black and white separates in the form of a blazer and tee, complete with high heels, have become the actress's go-to. But we've never seen Ms. Beckinsale wear a pair of pants like these before. Sure, she's rocked leather skinnies, but this high-waisted style, which comes tapered at the ankle and has a wrap-effect up top, feels particularly special.

Worn with nothing but a crisp white tank and a Cristiano Burani tuxedo coat draped elegantly on her shoulders, it's safe to call Kate's latest look ideal for any night out. Read on to see how the star accessorized with edgy Borgioni ear cuffs, a mirrored Lee Savage clutch, and matching Le Vian rings, and then shop for the statement pants you clearly need to add to your wardrobe.
