Who says you can’t wear white after Labor Day? Certainly not Mariska Hargitay.
The Law & Order: SVU star, 61, turned heads this week at the Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program Luncheon in New York City, where she confidently embraced one of fall’s most controversial fashion statements: white jeans.
Mariska Hargitay styled the bright denim with a dark-wash jacket and a classic black T-shirt, proving that summer whites can transition seamlessly into cooler weather with the right styling. The look struck the perfect balance between casual and chic — and now, fans can replicate her outfit without breaking the bank.
Amazon’s fashion hub is brimming with lookalike straight-leg jeans that echo Hargitay’s trend-defying ensemble. From trusted brands like Levi’s, Guess, and Gloria Vanderbilt, shoppers can snag their own pair starting at just $25.
Among the most popular options is the Amanda jeans by Gloria Vanderbilt, a timeless bestseller that’s currently available for up to 50 percent off with a clickable coupon. Featuring a flattering high waist and a straight-leg cut, they’re versatile enough to pair with oversized sweaters, blouses, and fall footwear from ankle boots to loafers.
For those seeking a roomier silhouette, Amazon also carries an under-$40 pair that’s already landed in more than 200 carts this month. With a fitted high-rise waist and relaxed straight legs, the style channels the effortlessly polished vibe seen on fashion-forward stars like Katie Holmes. One reviewer praised them for their “casual, laid-back vibe” that still feels elevated.
Shoppers are also flocking to Levi’s straight-leg jeans, known for their mid-rise fit and classic design. Made from a soft, slightly stretchy cotton blend, these jeans win high marks for comfort across body types, including tall, petite, and curvy fits. Even better, select white pairs are currently priced under $50, while darker washes offer a more traditional fall-ready option.
The message from both Mariska Hargitay and fashion insiders is clear: white jeans aren’t just for summer anymore. With the right layers and accessories, they can become a fall wardrobe staple.
And with dozens of affordable options available online, it’s never been easier for shoppers to borrow a page from Hargitay’s bold style book this season.
