When it comes to great street-style looks that stand the test of time, celebrities know how to do it best. Take Kate Moss' longtime love of butter-yellow dresses, or Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's Nineties minimalist looks that continue to inspire the fashion set—to name but a few.

As for present-day It-girls doing the same, Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid are prime examples that we'll no doubt be seeing plenty of for many years to come. But our number one modern street style inspiration? It has to be Kendall Jenner.

Case in point: in 2022, the eldest Jenner sister was seen in New York City wearing a fitted midi denim dress by Sportmax—and though a whole three years have since gone by, it's a look I still take inspiration from time and time again.

A masterclass in spring dressing and transitional-season style, Jenner paired her skintight midi denim dress with knee-high patent-leather boots, a suede handbag and sunglasses. Perfect for when you don't know if it's going to be rain or shine—or, most likely in Britain, both at the same time.

Not only did Jenner's simple look provide a failsafe outfit formula and nail multiple timeless trends in one go, it also served as an important reminder of the power a denim dress can have in your wardrobe wardrobe.

Incidentally, denim dresses are having a major moment right now, and have become a cool girl go-to. Jenner's dark-wash, body-con, high-neck version—complete with flattering corsetry-style stitching—remains top of my wishlist still today.

It's the ultimate in one-and-done dressing, can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, and is perfect for layering on chilly days, too.

Keep scrolling to shop her exact dress—or one of the many excellent, more affordable dupes that I've hunted down. Your spring wardrobe, sorted.
