Mila Kunis Is Photographed In Barrel-Leg Jeans & Ballet Flats On Set

The Black Swan actress is back on set and working on her next project, a psychological thriller and adaptation of a 2024 novel, Nightwatching.

 

The movie should contain a lot of excitement and adrenaline-producing moments, as it follows the story of a mother and her children trying to escape a male intruder during a dangerous blizzard. Although there haven't been any snaps taken of her filming in the snow, last week, she was photographed walking around her trailer in Los Angeles, wearing a combination of two trendy style pieces that have the internet talking right now.

 

Mila was wearing some classic blue denim jeans, but they were in the trendy barrel-leg style, with loose legs and large, square pockets. She also had on a simple, cozy sweater made from a light beige material, and paired the look with some simple black leather ballet flats. You can see photos of her on set here!

Fans React To Mila's Outfit As She Rocks The Barrel-Leg Jean Trend

Barrel-leg jeans are everywhere these days, with numerous brands putting them out, and celebrities as well as everyday people pairing them with all sorts of tops and shoes. However, a popular look is putting them with ballet flats, which have made a comeback. The contrast of the wide-leg barrel jeans and petite, simple flats adds something special to a look, but many fashion critics would argue that it doesn't look great on everyone.

 

It was unclear as to whether or not the That '70s Show star has kept an eye on today's trends and picked out the outfit herself, or if it's something her character will be wearing in the thrilling film, but fans thought she looked great on set.

 

"As always, a beauty," wrote a fan on X.

 

"So awesome," added another, as one user wrote they "can't wait to see Nightwatching."

 

We'll be curious to see if Mila decides to step back out with some barrel-jeans and flats later this year, especially as the weather gets a little warmer, but for now, fans are definitely feeling the look on her.
