These 9 Celebs Are Delivering Major Winter Style Inspiration

We find inspiration from celeb style on the regular, but as we know all too well, most of the items famous folks wear are quite pricey. As winter sneaks up, we’ve found 9 amazing coats that our favorite celebs have worn. Plus, we’ve got cheaper alternatives that will fit your budget.

1. Solange Knowles


We love a great animal print piece, and Solange’s leopard coat is no exception. Bey’s little sis got this look right! Try Forever 21’s faux fur option ($85.90) to avoid breaking the bank.

2. Jessica Alba


We can’t be the only ones who’ve been coveting this jacket. Mixing the military-style trench with leather sleeves? Sleek, chic and so on point! This copycat from ModLi ($66.50) is definitely on our must list.

3. Selena Gomez


Add a pop of color (and lots of bling!) to your wardrobe. That’s what Selena did, and man is she working it! But embellishments can cost you a pretty penny. Our solution? Buy this flawless MayKool coat ($53.99) and DIY your own jewels.

4. Olivia Palermo


Street style star Olivia is the queen of intricate, over-the-top coats. Here’s how you can score this detailed black masterpiece (sort of): a BB Dakota jacquard and fur option ($93).

5. Mindy Kaling


Winter outfit inspo breeds on The Mindy Project. Mainly because literal genius Mindy Kaling knows the value of custom-made clothing. Just one of the many stellar coats we’ve seen on Mindy, this green plaid creation is the perfect focal point for a killer ensemble. This Genuine People coat ($69) is pretty much a spot-on replica.

6. Blake Lively


Hello, beautiful! No matter the season, Blake is a fashion goddess. The top of this coat seems predictable. Scan down to the bottom and that colorful fringe has us floored! You could always DIY feathers or fringe on the bottom of your black coat or shop this furry colorblock option from Forever 21 ($54.90).

7. Taylor Swift


Meet Taylor Swift, vintage princess. Sure, you could probably pick up a similar coat in any ’ole thrift store. But why don’t you let us save you the trouble with this BB Dakota lookalike ($127)?

8. Alexa Chung


Blue fur could read a bit Muppet on some people. But not on Alexa! You can pull off her cool vibes, too, with this faux fur navy coat from Shoptiques ($109).

9. Kerry Washington


Don’t pack away your florals just because the warm weather has vanished. It’s certainly not Olivia Pope-esque, but Kerry’s flowery outerwear has us wanting to scoop up this coat from SheIn ($40.99).
