Between Alo’s bestselling moto leggings — a model-off-duty staple — and its “sculpting, lifting, smoothing, contouring” Airbrush styles, it’s no surprise stars like Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Kaia Gerber and Gigi Hadid are superfans.

Collectively, celebrities just might own the majority of Girlfriend Collective’s styles. Known for featuring recycled materials in its designs, the Seattle-based brand, has popped up everywhere from Kerry Washington and Mindy Kaling’s Instagram grids to Oprah’s “Favorite Things” list.

“The husband-and-wife team behind Girlfriend Collective (Gayle, a huge fan, told me about them) is making activewear more inclusive with this design that comes in sizes XS to 6XL,” Winfrey wrote in 2022 of the Compressive Pocket Legging ($88) — which, as she noted, is partly made from plastic bottles.
