Jennifer Lawrence saw Bella Hadid wear leggings and tall Uggs so she wore leggings and tall Uggs. Okay, that’s probably not how J.Law chooses her OOTDs but there is clearly a cozy pattern emerging for spring 2026.
It hasn’t even been a week since Glamour predicted that Hadid’s Aspen wardrobe would inspire a resurgence of tall Uggs in the new year, and we’ve already been proven correct. On December 29, the 29-year-old model paired her Classic Tall II Boots and black leggings with a luxe fur coat and quilted Chanel carryall. On January 7 Lawrence cosigned the return of calf-high shearling, reclaiming the style for millennials everywhere.
In her case, the 35-year-old mother of two paired her Classic Short II boots—which are 3.75 inches shorter than Hadid’s boots but still 4.5 inches taller than the previously favored Classic Ultra Minis—with a butter yellow robe coat and a croc-embossed burgundy bag. That’s a lot of trends for such an understated and comfortable look, but that’s what makes Lawrence the most adept on-the-go dresser in all of New York City.
So how do you style tall Uggs in 2026, à la Bella Hadid and Jennifer Lawrence?
While these might feel like completely different looks at first glance, Lawrence and Hadid adapted a similar two-step formula to suit their personal style.
1. Start with tall boots and leggings.
Time is a flat circle. You couldn’t enter a New England mall in the early ’00s to mid-2010s without spotting hordes of teenage girls in tall Uggs and black leggings. Beyond the cozy vibes, there was a practical reason this look worked. At a time when skinny jeans and leggings reigned supreme, their slim silhouettes fit perfectly into the shafts of any tall boot, from riding boots to cozy Uggs.
