Elsa Hosk, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley And Dua Lipa Are Using One Accessory To Improve Their Outfits

For those in the know, Déhanche's belts are the simple chic detail that can elevate everyday dressing.

What do Elsa Hosk, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Dua Lipa have in common? Aside from their super successful careers, of course, they also have the same taste in accessories. Recently, they have all been spotted wearing Déhanche - a brand fashion editors were quietly hoping to keep under wraps for just a little while longer. An alternative to some of the more obvious designer belt styles on the market (like the super-popular logo belts from Gucci and Hermès), Déhanche's success marks a departure from this with a more refined and, well, 2025 take.

Hollyhock Embellished Leather BeltNet-A-Porter

Déhanche's best-selling belt, the Hollyhock, is made from smooth leather and has a buckle fastening that is more elevated than your average belt with a row of rings. Available in multiple different colours, as well as metals, the belt is perfect for adding to wide-leg trousers and jeans. I also own the Hollyhock style, and can attest to its excellence - it feels so weighty and is obviously very well-crafted. The only thing I would advise is to size up or use the online size guide - I found the belt comes up a little smaller than usual.

Founded in 2022, Déhanche ('hanches' is the French word for hips) has crept into the highest echelon of celebrity wardrobes with the mission to turn belts (an accessory that was once just purely functional) into something far more interesting. Traditionally, belts have always been steeped in drama - whether you think of a grommeted style from the '70s and '80s, or Carrie Bradshaw's studded Streets Ahead belt in Sex And The City. Déhanche taps into the spirit of both, building its brand around conscious consumerism - proving that you don't need to put your entire wardrobe on Vinted when the trends or seasons change - instead, all you need is one well-designed belt.

Two of the most popular Déhanche styles are the Hollyhock and the Revenge belt (they also form part of the permanent collection - otherwise the brand only releases four limited-edition drops a year) - the latter of which was seen on Dua Lipa. Meanwhile, the Hollyhock, Déhanche's debut style, is among one of the most popular, not only on the brand's website, but also my Instagram feed too - it popped up so many times that it quickly became not a case of if I'd get the belt, but when.

Revenge Embellished Leather BeltNet-A-Porter

Dua Lipa's go-to belt is the Revenge style, which is finished with eyelets that are threaded with rings. The brand says the belt exudes a kind of 'rebellious punk spirit' because of its slightly more avant garde design.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, a long-time lover of refined, tonal dressing, has become especially loyal to Déhanche's Valadon belt - a thin, but contoured leather belt that speaks to her less-is-more philosophy.

On sale

Valadon Leather BeltNet-A-Porter
Price: $213 (was £355)

www.net-a-porter.com

One of Déhanche's more subtle styles, the Valadon Leather Belt features a chic sliding buckle and a slim profile that means it can be either worn with trousers or in the middle of a maxi dress. Plus, it's on sale too.

We're in the middle of a transition when it comes to the way we dress. Quiet luxury has started to waver, making way for a return to playfulness in the form of gingham, polka dots and plenty of boho ruffles – just three trends that have dominated the beginning of this year. Déhanche's success, however, shows that there's still an appetite for chic well-made pieces that will stand the test of time.

Constance Leather Belt Net-A-Porter

If you're on the hunt for a Déhanche belt that's smaller and more subtle, the Constance style is a good option. Ideal for cinching the waist of blazers or making a slip dress look less oversized and more fitted.

Mija Mixed Metal Croc-Effect Leather Belt Net-A-Porter

Available in both tan and black the Mija style is an exclusive design for Net-A-Porter, featuring both silver and gold-toned hardware that's perfect for any mixed metal lover. Like most Déhanche belts, the style has been handcrafted in Italy, except this one is made with a locally-sourced vegetable-tanned leather.

Orbite Leather Waist BeltNet-A-Porter

The Orbite belt is named after its circular statement-making gold buckle that won't overpower an outfit, but will add to it. Best styled around a neutral blazer or satin midi dress, simply add a pair of kitten heels and gold earrings and you're good to go.

On sale

Meri Leather Waist BeltNet-A-Porter
Price: $177 (was £295)

For a slightly cooler Déhanche belt, look to the Meri Belt, which has gold hammered hardware detailing in the place of a classic buckle. If you prefer your accessories in a lighter colour for summer, the same style is also available in an ivory shade.

On sale

Jolinard Leather Belt Net-A-Porter
Price: $189 (was £315)

The Jolinard style is another one that's on sale, currently with 40% off. If you like the chunkiness of the Revenge belt but want a belt that's slightly more pared-back, the Jolinard is somewhere in the middle - with thick gold hardware and '80s and '90s influences.
