The world of fashion is never without its surprises, and this holiday season is no exception. Making an unexpected comeback from the archives of edgy streetwear, ripped jeans are officially back in the limelight. Stars like Celina Jaitley and Esha Deol are leading the charge, proving that distressed denim is not just for casual Fridays but can also take center stage during the festive season.

Recently, actress Esha Deol sent social media abuzz with her chic yet rebellious take on this trend. She posed for a glam photoshoot in a classic white crop top paired with ripped acid-wash jeans, creating a look that perfectly balanced effortless style with punk flair. The ensemble was elevated with bold accessories, including oversized sparkling hoops, studded biker bracelets, a jewelled waist chain, and layered beaded necklaces adorned with a cross pendant. The combination was a perfect moodboard in blending grunge-inspired elements with high-glam details.

Esha’s styling choices extended beyond her outfit, with her beauty look amplifying the carefree vibe. She kept her wavy hair open, exuding a sense of natural ease, while her makeup was kept minimal and fresh. The final touch? A caption that read simply "Basics," paired with a New Year’s post that encouraged fans to dream big: "Close your eyes & make a wish. It’s 2025. (SIC)."

Meanwhile, Celina Jaitley also embraced the trend, showcasing her own take on ripped jeans in a recent photoshoot, though she opted for a more understated approach. She paired her ripped denim with a lacy green top and matching green pumps, keeping her hair straight and makeup natural to pose for holiday photos around her Christmas tree. For another picture, she styled her favorite ripped jeans with a more casual crop top in an indigo blue hue and full sleeves, creating a beautiful holiday look. Keeping her style more relatable, she has been sporting this trend in her latest posts and just can’t get enough of her ripped blue denim this season.

Sharing her holiday pictures online, Celina wrote on Instagram, “Dressed up for the magical blur between Christmas and New Year… that in-between space where time stands still. I find myself torn—unsure whether to let go of what’s passed or to fully embrace the newness ahead. Either way, my heart is full of gratitude for it all. Here’s to endings, beginnings, and everything in between. (SIC).”
