Sadie Sink Brings ’90s-Inspired Denim Into the Now for Calvin Klein

A fashion and pop culture writer who watches a lot…
Calvin Klein has unveiled the second chapter of its Fall 2026 “Feel the Fit” denim campaign, this time starring Sadie Sink. The Tony Award-nominated actress brings her understated confidence and modern attitude to the brand’s latest denim offering, putting a fresh spin on the iconic ’90s Straight Jean alongside a selection of relaxed and polished silhouettes.
Directed and photographed by Aidan Zamiri, the campaign places Sink in a series of everyday scenarios where getting dressed becomes an instant mood shift. With a nostalgic soundtrack, stripped-back styling and the unmistakable sensuality associated with Calvin Klein, the new visuals turn familiar wardrobe staples into the center of attention.
The latest chapter arrives shortly after the campaign debuted with singer and dancer Tate McRae. While McRae brought movement and choreography to her installment, Sink gives the denim story a more spontaneous, personality-driven energy that feels equally suited to the brand’s Fall 2026 direction.
Sadie Sink Stars in Calvin Klein’s Latest Denim Campaign
In the new campaign film, Sink moves through a series of unexpected everyday moments, with the simple act of putting on her jeans setting the tone for what follows. One of the campaign’s standout scenes sees the actress shimmying into her Calvin Klein denim as Willa Ford’s 2001 dance-pop hit “I Wanna Be Bad” plays in the background.
The choice of soundtrack adds another layer of nostalgia to the campaign while keeping the overall presentation firmly rooted in the present. Rather than recreating the ’90s literally, Calvin Klein uses familiar visual codes and denim silhouettes to create something that feels contemporary.
“Denim has always been a staple in my wardrobe, so partnering with Calvin Klein on this campaign felt completely natural,” Sink said in a statement shared by the brand. She added that she connected with the idea behind “Feel the Fit,” particularly the way the right pair of jeans can change how you carry yourself.
That sentiment runs throughout the campaign. Sink wears the denim with an ease that makes the clothes feel lived-in rather than overly styled, allowing her personality to remain just as important as the pieces themselves.
The ’90s Straight Jean Takes Center Stage
Among the key styles featured in the Fall 2026 collection is the iconic ’90s Straight Jean, which returns in fresh washes. The silhouette maintains the straight, relaxed shape that has made it a recurring fixture in denim wardrobes while giving the classic cut a renewed seasonal appeal.
The return of the style comes at a time when straight-leg jeans continue to hold their place between oversized and more fitted denim trends. Its relatively clean shape makes it particularly versatile, working just as easily with a simple tee and sneakers as it does with sharper fall layers.
Calvin Klein also expands the collection beyond its ’90s-inspired staple with the Low Rise Baggy Jean. The loose silhouette introduces a more relaxed attitude, tapping into the continued popularity of low-rise and oversized proportions.
Relaxed and Sleek Fits Complete the Lineup
The High Rise Loose Jean offers another interpretation of the season’s denim direction. Cut with a higher rise and a sleek, body-defining silhouette, the style appears in rich dark rinses that give it a more refined finish.
Together, the three featured silhouettes create a denim lineup that moves between relaxed, nostalgic and polished. Rather than focusing on one dominant shape, Calvin Klein is giving its Fall 2026 customer several ways to approach the season.
Sink’s campaign also demonstrates how differently each silhouette can read when paired with her low-key styling and confident presence. The result feels less like a traditional product showcase and more like a fashion story built around the attitude that comes with finding a favorite pair.
A New Chapter in “Feel the Fit”

The Sink campaign is the second installment in Calvin Klein’s multichapter Fall 2026 “Feel the Fit” series. The campaign’s first chapter featured Tate McRae, who used dance and movement to bring her own energy to the brand’s denim.
The decision to build the campaign around different personalities allows Calvin Klein to present its denim through individual perspectives rather than a single aesthetic. Sink’s chapter, in particular, emphasizes confidence, spontaneity and the transformation that can come from getting dressed.
Her casting also reflects the actress’s growing presence beyond the screen. Sink first became widely known for her role as Max Mayfield in Netflix’s “Stranger Things” before appearing in “The Whale” and earning a Tony Award nomination for her performance in “John Proctor Is the Villain.”
The Fall 2026 denim campaign is now rolling out globally across Calvin Klein retail locations, the brand’s website and social platforms, with high-impact out-of-home placements also supporting the launch. One final chapter remains in the “Feel the Fit” series.
For now, Sadie Sink’s installment puts the spotlight firmly on Calvin Klein’s denim, proving that sometimes the most effective way to refresh a familiar wardrobe staple is simply to give it a new attitude.
