When we discovered thatoft-denounced sweatpants were among Google's most-searched spring 2015 trends, we realized the athleisure movement was far from fleeting. And not just for gym-goers or green juice enthusiasts, but, say, Hollywood stars, just going about their day-to-day.

With racks upon racks of designer clothing at their disposal, celebrities choose to run around town in their gym-friendly duds. No desperate scrambles to the car so as to avoid being seen, no quick-change acts, no walks of post-workout shame. Nay—yoga pants for the people, celebrities say!
