2018 Best Jeanist Award

Nanao, second from left, is the winner

Japan has annual awards that are given to Japanese celebrities who look good in jeans!  Have you ever heard of such a thing? This year actress Nanao, 29, was the female winner.  This is her third consecutive win, so she is now entered into the Best Jeanist Hall of Fame, a special title for those who have won the award three years in a row.  


Is this just a Japanese thing, or do other countries give such awards to its celebrities?

I have never heard of this award, in Japan or elsewhere! It is not surprising, though, as jeans must be found in every corner of the world and are worn by any age group or social class. I also think that denim is a fabric that can take different looks, you have baggy cowboy jeans and skinny jeans with so much stretch and so many sparkly studs they look like stage costume leggings.

Is this some sort of promotional stunt, advertising a particular brand of jeans? If not, it just seems wacky.

Nope, don't know of any "Who Looks The Best In Jeans" awards. There IS a town in Indiana called Naked City. I was going down a street in our area that had a sign in the front yard. Someone there came in third in a Naked Contest in Naked City. All I could do was shake my head. Oh, not that there was a contest, but that someone actually put up a yard sign that they won Bronze, lol.

Is this award organized by a jeans manufacturer? I've never heard of it!
