The Only 6 Winter Coat Trends Celebrities Seem to Care About

Rich espresso! Retro leopard print! Fluffy faux fur! At long last, the temps have dipped low enough in cities like New York, Paris, and even L.A. for us to begin breaking out our winter wardrobes—and (finally) top off our outfits with a coat or heavy jacket. That means that the most recent batch of celebrity outfits is a microcosm of the season’s most exciting new coat trends. Whether it’s Jennifer Lopez cementing the animal-print trend in a leopard-print coat and matching boots or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wearing an ’80s leather bomber jacket with her jeans, the following A-list outfits are a strong indicator of which styles will become the most popular for winter as we move further into the season.

If you’re shopping for a new coat, you’re probably acutely aware of just how many options there are. I get it—a flip through the new arrivals of any retailer lately can be downright dizzying, so consider the six celebrity-approved coat trends below to be your guide to the season’s hottest outerwear.

Fluffy Faux Fur

Celebs love a statement style, and time and again, faux fur seems to be their choice. The ultra-luxe coats were big last year, but with only a few weeks into early winter and a number of A-list looks, it appears that fluffy fur coats are yet again on the menu for winter 2024/2025. When it comes to getting all dolled up in the evening per Rihanna or making a casual look feel more trend-forward as Charli XCX did, adding a fluffy, furry coat atop your look is the only way to go.

Retro Leopard Print

Leopard is the print of the season, and that’s a fact. But the emerging number one way to wear it is as a coat. Not just any coat style but specifically a printed car coat with a boxy silhouette like the one Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy wore in the ’90s. It’s almost like celebs had her outfits on their mood boards this season (as did we).
