Stylelist | By Jada Wong | Become a fan | Posted: 09/30/11 12:08 AM ET | Updated: 09/30/11 05:05 PM ET

Jeans are a wardrobe staple, but their popularity is definitely traced back to classic Hollywood icons, such as Marilyn Monroe, Farrah Fawcett and James Dean. These stars created signature looks in films and televisions shows such as “Clash by Night,” “Charlie’s Angels” and “Rebel Without a Cause." They wore their denim rolled up, flared and ripped while supermodels such as Cindy Crawford and Brooke Shields showed off some skin in tight jeans.

No, always 'blue jeans' which is stamped on the leather patch on vintage jeans. In 1959 the I LOVE LUCY SHOW Episode: The Loving Cup, Ethel says she has not, nor ever will ride the subway in her 'blue jeans'.
