The Internet Is Obsessed With Rihanna’s Purple Jacket, So Here Are 5 Alternatives

Rihanna just unintentionally made purple the hottest new Christmas color.  On Dec. 18, the singer attended the launch of her latest Fenty x Puma collaboration. In theme with one of the latest Fenty Creeper sneakers, Rihanna wore a purple fur coat with her purple creepers, and the fashion girlies are obsessed. (It’s me. I’m the fashion girl.)

In true Rihanna fashion, the outfit mixed elements and consisted of baggy jeans, a white logo tee, and a beautiful galaxy-like purple eye. It’s such a gorgeous look. The fashionista’s latest collection includes some old favorites and fresh designs inspired by traditional soccer sneakers. The popular collaboration has been a fan favorite and continues to grow among the sneaker head community. 

Her beautiful ensemble, which stole the show, is two pieces — including a quilted Chanel jacket with a red tweed collar stacked perfectly with her matching fuzzy lavender coat. I’m sure the coat probably costs an arm and leg, so I searched the internet high and low for alternatives that would make us feel almost as cool as Rih.

Amore Lavender Cape ($32)

A beautiful lavender fur cape, and it’s on sale? Sign me up. It’s a pretty fancy statement piece, but you’d shine at any holiday party in this piece. 

Ever New Faux Fur Coat ($147)

You’re sure to make heads turn in this super cozy lilac coat. It’s the perfect addition to your closet because you can use it as a statement piece for any outfit!

Lavender Sherpa Jacket ($21)

Although not as fancy as Rihanna’s coat, a nice lavender jacket could elevate any cozy winter outfit. It’s crucial to have casual options, too! 

Lavender Fuzzy Trench ($41)

This one might be my favorite, besties! A perfect lavender trench coat to throw on top of any outfit, whether running errands or going out. You can’t go wrong with a solid winter coat. 

LAVENDER Nights In Paris Coat ($56)

This one gives me major Clueless vibes. A classic lavender coat with a belt and fur sleeves, this elevated jacket is sure to make a statement no matter the occasion. 

Rihanna has claimed purple as the color of the season. Who are we to argue? Let this be your sign to dabble in all the fun purple looks this holiday season.
