Rebel Wilson’s Rock-Chic Shift: Balmain Tweed & Suede Ankle Boots at Craig’s

When Rebel Wilson stepped out at Craig’s in West Hollywood in January 2022, it marked a definitive shift in her personal style.

Following a dedicated “year of health,” the actress began favoring silhouettes that leaned into a “rock-chic” aesthetic—balancing high-end designer layers with textured staples.

Her choice for a night out in Los Angeles centered on a monochromatic base of sheer fabrics and matte textures.

By pairing faux-leather leggings with a $4,095 black-and-red plaid tweed bomber jacket from Balmain, Wilson demonstrated how to use structured outerwear to elevate a standard evening look.

Rebel Wilson revealed in an interview with Australia’s Sunrise in October 2021 that she had lost about 35 kilos (77 lbs), a significant change in her life over the past year.

Keeping the focus on texture and silhouette, Rebel Wilson pulled her blonde hair into a relaxed ponytail secured with a black scrunchie, skipping jewelry in favor of a pared-back finish, while a black face mask added a sleek, tonal edge.
