Just a month after Glamour editors shared their favorite barrel-leg jeans, Oscar winner Julianne Moore has jumped on the trend, making it official: This is the silhouette of the fall. A devastating blow to those of us still holding out hope for the long-awaited skinny-jeans comeback that never seems to materialize, but oh well.

Moore rocked the oversized look at a Los Angeles event on November 16, balancing the curve of her pants with the puffy shoulders of her knit top, and completing the look with inflated silver earrings to create an ensemble with almost no straight lines or sharp corners. Stylist Kate Young revealed that the look came courtesy of Alaïa.

Also known as balloon or horseshoe jeans, these flare-and-taper jeans add a bit of editorial edge to the classic American uniform.

Moore kept her makeup sweet and simple, showing off her alabaster skin. And it’s no accident that she’s pale. Spilling her beauty secrets to Glamour, Moore revealed that her number-one product is sunscreen.

“It really makes a huge difference. But you can’t just slather on sunscreen and then sit at the beach,” Moore cautioned. “You should wear a hat, you should sit under an umbrella. You should expose yourself only at certain times of the day. You can’t go to the beach at 12 o’clock.”

Julianne Moore gave another tip, explaining, “The piece of beauty advice that I always impart is to not destroy your eyebrows, because I did destroy my eyebrows. So I think that’s really important.” She added, “A makeup artist told me really early on that how you find the tones in your skin, when you’re choosing lipstick, or when you’re choosing a blush, you’re mimicking what the face does naturally. So you’re trying to enhance what your face does…don’t try to do something that your face doesn’t do if you want a very natural look.”
