Meghan Markle stepped out in California over the weekend in an outfit that has become the season’s most talked-about denim silhouette. Prince Harry’s appearance on stage with his wife comes after a tense week for the Sussex family after he returned to the UK to give evidence in his case against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL).
As scrutiny on both sides of the Atlantic intensified once again, Meghan’s latest outing seemed deliberate, calm and quietly confident. With a clean and confident look, she shifted her focus back to fashion and a trend that is redefining modern denim.
Attending the Cookie Queens premiere over the weekend, the Duchess of Sussex opted for a chic, simple ensemble that included Veronica Beard’s onyx Beverly skinny flare jeans – a new addition.

Thin flares are a rising trend and celebrity fashion stylist Ciara Russell He explained to the Daily Express why they are so popular.
“The skinny shine is back because it sits neatly between two fashion extremes,” she said. “After years of ultra-tight denim and then a move towards oversized, loose shapes, fashion has settled into something more refined.”
The expert added: “This cut stays slim through the thigh and knee, then releases softly at the hem, making it feel controlled, elegant and grown-up.”

“We started with the super skinny fit, but the full wide leg doesn’t always work for everyday wear, the skinny leg feels like the perfect middle ground,” Ciara continued.
What makes Meghan’s jeans different is that she holds her own; According to Ciara, this detail is key to making the look feel current rather than retro.
“What feels modern is restraint. This isn’t a loud bell bottom from the ’70s, its flare is subtle, its rise is clean, and the fabric is structured not floppy.”

“When styled with sharp tailoring or simple, minimal tops, it feels contemporary rather than vintage. It’s less about referencing an era and more about creating a clean, seamless silhouette that looks current and polished,” Ciara shared.
Beyond trend appeal, the cut offers something fashion is always after: proportion. According to the expert, the thin flare works because it silently rebalances the body.
“A slight flare creates balance, and balance is everything in style. By slightly flaring the hem, the eye is drawn downward, which visually lengthens the leg and balances the hips and thighs. This slight flare instantly makes proportions look more fluid.”
She added: “Compared to straight jeans, wide legs add movement and softness. Compared to skinny jeans, they don’t snap or cut the leg abruptly at the ankle. Instead, they slide and lengthen the body. They also work nicely with heels, which adds a straight look to lift and stance, and skinny jeans don’t always flatter in the same way.”
