Many, many years ago, somebody invented jeans. The world decided that jeans were a great invention, and the idea caught on like wildfire. Everybody owns at least one comfortable pair of jeans, and the world is a better place for the invention. A while later, someone decided that distressed jeans were the next step forward. That's when people intentionally started wearing faded, frayed jeans, or jeans with holes cut out of the knees and thighs. Now, we've finally arrived at this look. Welcome to the future.
This is the style choice of someone who likes jean shorts, but also likes the comfortable feeling of wearing a full pair of jeans. That's why she's cut away almost the entire middle section, and left just enough material to make sure what's left of the legs doesn't simply fall down around her ankles. The structural integrity probably leaves a lot to be desired, but in a world full of jeans, she can say she owns a pair that's truly one of a kind.
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite?
