11 Statement-Making Winter Coats That Radiate Boss Energy
Coats are a staple for autumn/winter and an effortless way to polish off any look. Bold coats are on trend for this season and our favorite style stars are executing it flawlessly. From long hemlines to bomber jackets to classic trench coats, we're seeing bold prints and colors modernize some of fashion's classic coat styles.
Check out the bold styles that are snatching our edges this season:
1.Baby Blue Midi Trench
If you're hesitant to try colorful coat, pair it with neutrals like Alyssa. This helps to tone down the boldness of the coat but keeps your overall look very clean and chic.
2.Statement Large Lapel Midi Coat
This is another great example of how to transition a bright color into fall. Alanna keeps the look fresh by pairing the coat with lighter neutrals.
3.Baby Blue Bomber
There are a million ways to wear a bomber jacket but Nelly truly pulled this powder blue one off. A playful piece like this can add fun and a sense of casualness to your look.
4.Trench Patent Leather Trench
A classic example of playing with color but not going overboard. Kellie pairs her trench with an outfit in the same color wheel. This elongates the body and adds depth to the look.
5.Animal Print Trench
This combines the best of two fall trends: trench and animal prints. The shorter skirt paired with the long lines of the trench create a playful yet professional street style look. It's also a great way to transition those summer pieces!
6.Green Trench
If you're more of a risk taker, take a cue from June when styling a bold coat. Inside of neutrals underneath, opt for complementary colors to brighten up the look.
7.Camel Cape
This is a bold look and the ultimate stylish piece. There's something magical about capes, especially into the holiday season.
8.Plush Teddy Coat
With a coat like this, you can really mix up your style. Teddy coats can be super casual or ultra-luxurious, depending on your occasion. Maxi coats are on trend this fall/winter.
9.Red Patent Leather Trench
Pair down with jeans and a simple tee like Bengine, or dress up with a LBD. You want the coat to be the statement, so neutrals are your best bet.
10. Neon Green Coat
Go big or go home, right? It's the perfect blend of trend and nostalgia, especially with the hair. Grace pairs this bright jacket with all black, but adds some texture with her slouchy calf boots.
11. Trench as a Dress
The uniformity of the look is achieved by using the same print in different colors. Kelly also plays with the height of the boot and the slit of the trench, adding a bit of edge to the look. By choosing one print in various colors, you can transition this look from work to drinks at cocktail hour to date night.

Rihanna Talks Shedding Expectations And Finding Balance As A Mother
Since becoming a mother in 2022, Rihanna has defined parenthood by her terms and hopes to pass that sense of autonomy on to her children.
For Vogue China’s April cover story, Rihanna shared her perspective on raising her two sons with A$AP Rocky, and how she hopes to preserve her children’s uniqueness, devoid of societal expectations.
"The most beautiful thing...is that [children] come into the world with their own individuality and sincerity, without any logic or conformity,” she told the publication. “Which usually makes you feel that you must fit into a certain group."
The “Work” artist, known for her trendsetting style and captivating persona, expressed her desire to support children in fully embracing their individuality and encouraging them to be whoever they want to be. "It's really beautiful to see and I want to continue to help them navigate that and make sure that they know they can be whoever they want to be,” she says.
She continues, “They should embrace it completely, because it's beautiful, and it's unique. I love them just that way."
From shattering music charts to shaking up the beauty industry, Rihanna has forged a path that has since created the “dream” life we see today. One that she says has made her parents proud of.
“I’m living my dream,” she continued. “My parents were very proud of that because they just wanted me to be happy and successful. So, I think the key thing is to find some kind of balance. Yes, balance is important. Do this and you get the best of both worlds. You can write your own life the way you want, and it will be beautiful. Sometimes, you just need to let go of everyone’s expectations and start living your own story.”
Rihanna, who shares sons, RZA, 23 months, and Riot, 8 months, with rapper A$AP Rocky, recently shared her vision for expanding her family in the future in Interview Magazine.
When stylist Mel Ottenberg asked about the number of additional children she hoped to have, Rihanna replied, "As many as God wants me to have.”
"I don't know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl,” she adds. “But of course, if it's another boy, it's another boy."
