In the world of multi-hyphenated women, it is not shocking to find many celebrity moms highly hands-on in their job duties.
Whether rescuing their child from a nasty scooter fall or playing with them at a pumpkin patch, these women must be commended for dedicating much of their time to family bonding and showering their kids with TLC.

But a quick question: what do these celeb moms wear when on mom duty? You’d think they’d be heaps different from us ordinary people, but there aren’t really that many differences in the way they dress.
With all the running around and scooping up of a toddler from the ground, one has to be comfortable. So, a celeb mom’s recipe for a stylish mom duty outfit includes, drum roll please, a nice pair of pants.
January Jones: Casual Chic in Black Skinny Jeans
You can never go wrong with the basics. They are the perfect ensemble for those days when you don’t have the time to dress up but still want to look like you planned everything out days before.
Take it from January Jones, who rocked her black skinny jeans with a white tee.

Gwen Stefani: Mission-Ready in Printed Cropped Pants
This is one of our favorite Gwen Stefani mom-duty looks. She was like a girl on a mission as she dropped off her son at school wearing a pair of printed cropped pants, a bomber jacket, a tank top, and heels. It’s the perfect outfit to wear when juggling different daily tasks.

Hilary Duff: Red, White, and Black Perfection
The combination of red, white, and black is like macaroni and cheese. They are just meant to be together! This is why we say yes to snapping the perfect black pants. They are so versatile!

Rachel Zoe is a huge fan of wide-legged pants and likes her boho style even when on mom duty.

Style tip: Wear boot-legged pants with chunky-heeled boots to add length to your silhouette. Unless you have Rachel Zoe’s frame, opt for something fitted for the top to elongate your body.

A Kardashian can’t be stopped in the fashion scene, even when carrying a child on her hip. Kourtney proved that with this denim-on-denim look. She sported her favorite Chloé “Suzanna” stud buckle booties and a denim shirt from the Kardashian Kollection.

Jessica Alba: Effortless Cool in Boyfriend Jeans
While Jessica Alba occasionally goes for the dressed-up chic look on a mom duty day, we still often see her in nothing more than a pants ensemble. But she looks cute in her boyfriend jeans and tank top outfit, especially with her signature hat and strappy sandals.
