While I usually gravitate toward sleek wool coats and leather styles, when it comes to insulation you really can't do better than a puffer jacket. Though they took a backseat in recent years—overshadowed by the quiet luxury trend that favoured scarf coats and tailored outerwear—the chunky puffer’s cosy charm never really went away, and now that winter is at its coldest, celebrities have been coming back to the cosy layer like they never stopped.

With its casual energy and unbeatable comfort, I’m convinced it’s time to reintroduce this winter essential into my daily wardrobe. So, I’ve turned to some of my favourite celebrity looks for guidance on how to make a puffer coat look chic right now. Read on to discover the celebrity puffer coat outfits that have inspired me this season.

5 CELEBRITY PUFFER COAT OUTFITS TO COPY THIS WINTER

1. GIGI HADID'S PUFFER JACKET + JEANS + UGGS

Style Notes: Stepping out in the ultimate winter look, model Gigi Hadid paired her short puffer jacket with bootleg jeans and a comfortable pair of short Uggs.

With a flurry of London Fashion Week and red carpet events taking place this week, I was prepared to see my fair share of "ugly" shoes. Fur-adorned clogs, troops of tabis and ballet trainers were all a given, but what I didn't expect to see out in force were classic black court shoes. Yet, everywhere I turned, the style set affirmed their adoration for the most low-key of shoe styles.

A favourite in style circles, black court shoes were a mainstay both on and off the red carpet this week. Model Iris Law wore a rounded-toe pair with a draped pink blouse and flowy, knee-length Burberry skirt, styling her look with Missoma's Hera Mixed Metal Earring, and using the shoe to sharpen her Fashion Week style without detracting from her coordinated ensemble.

Whilst Iris Law wore hers on Burberry's London Fashion Week front row, actor Chloë Sevigny chose to pair the shoes with an entirely leather look on the Monsters red carpet in L.A. Attesting to their versatility, Sevigny's jacket/skirt hybrid looked perfectly matched with her square-toe court shoes.

Model and presenter Alexa Chung is in on the trend too, recently photographed wearing a pair of black, pointed-toe court shoes with a white shift dress. Elongating her silhouette and elevating her look, Chung's shoes effortlessly added a sophisticated edge.

Officially trending for September, it looks as though the black court shoe is a new celebrity staple too. If you're also keen to treat your wardrobe to a goes-with-everything shoe, read on to discover our edit of the best black court shoes to shop right now.

I don't know about you, but when the cool women on my Insta feed start wearing a new trend, I take notice. Such has been the case over the past two seasons or so. I began to see what is guaranteed to be deemed a controversial combination: Adidas track pants and ballet flats. It took a minute, but the unlikely mix has grown on me—as has the variety of fashion-forward ways stylish women across the globe have been styling the duo.

Track pants themselves have had a major resurgence, and we know that ballet flats are more popular than ever, so getting the look is super easy. Not to mention, it's simple to pull off with the help of a variety of on-trend tops like polished vests as well as sweaters and outerwear.

Congratulations are in order (again) for one of New York City's original It girls: Chloë Sevigny, who, for the second time, got married this weekend to gallery director Siniša Mačković, who Sevigny shares a son with. (The couple first wed in a secret ceremony at City Hall in NYC in March of 2020.) Naturally, the bride—who gathered her closest and coolest friends in Connecticut for the church nuptials—wore Haute Couture, specifically, an almost completely sheer gown from Glenn Marten's Jean Paul Gaultier collection, which debuted in January.

Sevigny's wedding dress was one of 36 total looks from Marten's one-off collection for the brand and was styled in the lookbook with a voluminous, tulle veil that Sevigny wore for the ceremony. Made entirely of white tulle and lace, her gown featured exaggerated tulle shoulder details and a delicate lace lining, which you can see because of its bare-all quality. In other words, Sevigny's bridal look, styled by Haley Wollens, was perfect—and extremely her. 

See the just-married couple on their second wedding day below.

Coming Up: 5 Perfect Wedding Guest Dresses You Can Wear Again and Again

It's safe to say that we're all looking forward to transitioning our wardrobes into spring. Though, it seems our excitement is surpassed by celebrities, the most stylish of which are already showcasing their impressive springtime wares. Just like the rest of us, the A-list clearly can't wait to shed their winter layers in favour of floral dresses, sleeveless knitwear, and cover-ups that don't involve excessive padding, as that's precisely what they've been sporting over the last few weeks. 

While celebrity street style is still relatively scarce at the moment, some stars are already serving up excellent new-season ’fits with their masks in tow. Cue, Kendall Jenner (in high street!), Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber, Katie Holmes, Chloë Sevigny, Emma Roberts and the mighty Rihanna, all of whom have their own unique take on spring style. With outfit planning in mind, scroll on to see their chic ensembles and to shop the key pieces you'll need to pull them off for yourself. 

HAILEY BIEBER

Style Notes: Paying homage to the '90s with her leather blazer, buckle belt, high-waist jeans, white socks and lace-up shoes, Hailey's laid-back but polished outfit is precisely what we want to wear right now. 

Shop the look:

KATIE HOLMES

Style Notes: Katie's street style has remained strong throughout lockdown. Now, she's gearing up for spring by switching out her puffer coat for a classic trench instead. 

Shop the look:

RIHANNA

Style Notes: We can always rely on Rihanna to take a trend and turn it on its head. Here, she gives her comfy lounge trousers an after-dark overhaul with 2021's most in-demand heels from Amina Muaddi. 

Shop the look:

EMMA ROBERTS

Style Notes: Expect to see plenty of patchwork as we go further into 2021. Of course, Emma is already sporting the trend effortlessly in her patchwork jacket, jeans, and shearling-lined mules.

CHLOË SEVIGNY

Style Notes: Remember wearing dresses without tights? Chloë is giving us all the courage we need to do just that with this beautiful floral dress and these chunky shoes. 

Shop the look:

KENDALL JENNER

Style Notes: It's not every day that Kendall steps out wearing high street, so when she does, we take serious notice. Miraculously, her Mango knitted tank is still in stock—though, we guarantee it won't be for long.

GIGI HADID

Style Notes: Gigi proves that great spring style can be achieved with excellent outerwear—just add comfy leggings and stomping boots.

Age doesn't really matter when it comes to what you wear—we all know that. Whether you're 25 or 52, you can wear whatever you please. However, it's safe to say that by the time you've been around for 40 or so years, you have probably mastered several wardrobe classics (and the outfit combinations that come along with them). Such is the case with the essential T-shirt–and-jeans formula. It's a duo that's something everyone wears when they're younger, but it still translates to adulthood rather seamlessly. Plus, it's a great option for warm temperatures, which is good news considering we're in the middle of summer.

With this in mind, we turned to some of our favourite over-40 celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Sofia Vergara to see how they approach T-shirts and jeans. Unsurprisingly, what we found was a load of approachable, wearable and polished ensembles that we're replicating ASAP. Scroll down to see how these women wear their tees and denim and shop the picks to test-drive their style in your own wardrobe.

Victoria Beckham proves a camouflage tee can indeed be chic when tucked into a pair of dark-wash denim and polished off with a chic bag tucked under the arm.

An effortless way to dress up your tee-and-jeans pairing, as illustrated by Sofia Vergara, is by tossing a pretty floral jacket on top and accessorising with a structured bag and ankle-strap sandals.

Diane Kruger is always one to watch for elevated basics. When it comes to a tee and jeans, she finishes off her look with a lightweight coat for spring, layered necklaces and a pair of splashy cheetah-print flats.

Is there ever a time we shouldn't be replicating Chloë Sevigny's looks? This easy, everyday outfit gives off a subtle hint of rock and roll with elements like the skinny scarf, square-hardware belt and Western boots.

Follow January Jones's lead and keep things simple with a classic tee worn with '70s-inspired jeans.

Katie Holmes proves that a tee and jeans can translate to after-hours. Just add some cool extras like a colourful cardigan and statement shoes.

Trust Naomi Campbell to make the bomber jacket, T-shirt and jeans combo look this good. 

It's no surprise that Reese Witherspoon makes even a tee and jeans feel fun. Try her look and grab a tee with interesting sleeves, jeans with bold hems and a pair of summery clogs or sandals.

If you're ever experiencing outfit burnout, know that you can always wear a fitted white tee with skinny jeans and heels and look put-together like Julianne Moore.

Need a distraction from your 9-to-5? Or rather, another distraction after all the red carpet glory of the recent Met Gala in New York? Of course you do. Allow us to turn your attention to the illustrious Cannes Film Festival in the south coast of France, where dramatic dresses and couture gowns provide plenty of eye candy.

Stalwarts of the festival have so far stuck to personal dress codes. Julianne Moore stepped out in yet another red dress—this time a hand-embroidered caped column gown by Givenchy Haute Couture that was finished with feathers. (Last year she wore another crimson feather-trimmed gown also made by Givenchy Couture.) Cate Blanchett—chair of this year's jury—recycled a Georgio Armani Privé black lace gown she first wore to the Golden Globes in 2014, where she won the Best Performance in a Moving Picture award for her role in Blue Jasmine.

Penelope Cruz has up to now stuck to classic black, wearing an array of black dresses that include a fishtail-backed midi that she accessorised with Atelier Swarovski jewels, and a dramatic lace number with frothy tulle detailing.

Meanwhile, Fan Bingbing has worn pouffy dresses fit for a princess, including a nude pink couture Ralph & Russo gown that was covered in a delicate layer of sparkle.

With the resurgence of logo bags, slip dresses, and—yes, your eyes are not deceiving you—kitten heels, lately we've been feeling some major nostalgia for the early aughts. Back then, women who had our fashion hearts must've been even better dressed than we imagined, as many of their outfits still stand up today as top-notch choices… with a few minor tweaks here and there, of course.

So, to celebrate the looks of the key women of the 2000s who inspire us as much now as they did over a decade ago (crazy, we know), we rounded up a few of their looks from back in the day. 

Read on for a look, and to shop the current versions of their outfits…

The Sex and the City star styled a black-trimmed slip dress with patent leather pumps in 2001.

Chloë Sevigny stopped by our Sundance photo suite—the Who What Wear x Vida Tequila x Glam App Lounge on Main Street—to talk film, fashion, and more.

Sevigny is at the annual Park City, Utah, festival to promote her latest project, Love & Friendship, director Whit Stillman’s adaptation of the Jane Austen novel Lady Susan. In the comedy, she plays Alice, the American confidante of the cunning Lady Susan Vernon (played by a spectacular Kate Beckinsale).

“Lady Susan is a bit of a bad girl and has a reputation,” Sevigny says. “I think we all have girlfriends that we love and adore and are wild, and we kind of live out our fantasies through them and their brazenness.”

We certainly live out our style fantasies through the actress, who nailed winter dressing in a shearling Coach coat paired with a Gucci blouse and vintage Levi’s. Keep reading for more from our exclusive interview.

Who What Wear: What made you want to be a part of Love & Friendship?

Chloë Sevigny: I am just a fan of [director] Whit [Stillman]. I think he has such an original voice, and even though I know it’s an Austen and an adaptation, I knew he would infuse it with his own Whit kind of humor and pacing. I just think he is a true artist in the film industry, which there are a bunch of them out there, but they are not always knocking on my door, so I was really thrilled to work with him again. I loved working with him on Last Days of Disco. I love that movie. I’m so proud of it. I’d always wanted to do a period piece—you know, the sweeping period drama—so I was game!

WWW: Can you tell us about your character in the film, Alicia? What intrigued you about her?

CS: My character is an American in England, and she’s married to a respectable man played by Stephen Frye. She lives vicariously through her girlfriend Lady Susan, played by Kate Beckinsale. Lady Susan is a bit of a bad girl and has a reputation, and I think we all have girlfriends that we love and adore and are wild, and we kind of live out our fantasies through them and their brazenness. So I kind of related to [Alicia] in that way, because I have girlfriends who are so outspoken, bright, and witty. My best friend Natasha Lyonne, for instance. I’m always so enamored with her and how she can control herself in situations. It’s the same with my character and Lady Susan.

WWW: What did you enjoy most about filming this project?

CS: I think going through and working with the costume designer, and from the different layers of the undergarments and the fittings. It was such a fantasy. And they have such a handle on it. They do so many period pictures in Dublin, and everybody was just so enthusiastic and good at their craft. It’s nice to work with people who are really good at what they do.

WWW: The costumes are pretty spectacular! Did you find them challenging?

CS: I mean, not so much. The things one would think, like going pee. But probably all the volume, because we are not used to it. Of course I’m wearing a huge jacket today, which is often problematic, but the volume I think was the most surprisingly challenging thing to overcome. I think my favorite look was a pale blue look that I wore that was an actual vintage piece from the costume house in London.

WWW: You have been a style hero for so many women. Who are the stylish women who inspire you?

CS: Just friends of mine who are a little more adventurous in their style, like Liz Goldwyn in Los Angeles. I think she has amazing style. My friend Tara Subkoff has really great style. And my friend Lizzie Bucato, and Jen Brill in New York City. I think she always looks super cool in whatever she wears. They are my standouts. 

WWW: What’s your favourite piece you own?

CS: I have this hood that is from the ’40s. It’s a black cashmere hood and it has all these bronze sequins all over it. And of course, I live in New York and it’s very cold, so I’ve been wearing that a lot; it’s my new favourite piece. And it’s a piece that makes people really happy, and I like that a lot. I hear people who don’t even recognize me say, “Oh my God, look at her hood!” People audibly get excited about it and it’s nice to wear something that can make people smile. Sometimes my boyfriend is like, “Why are you wearing that crazy blue blah blah blah,” and I was like, “Because it makes women smile and I like to see that.” It’s fun.

WWW: Your jeans are amazing! What are the?

CS: These are Levi’s I actually wore in the ’90s, and they were really long. I used to step on them and there was that half-moon hole in the back. I wore them to the Venice Film Festival with Boys Don’t Cry in like ’99 or something. And I still fit in them, which is dope.

WWW: Can you tell us about your most recent fashion purchase or discovery?

CS: Oh God, I mean I purchase things almost every day—it’s my addiction. Funny enough, Tory Burch sent me these hiking boots for Sundance with red laces, and I was like feeling these weird Tory Burch hiking boots. They are going to be my jam back in New York City. I mean, I’ve always been into that classic ’80s red-lace hiking boot thing. Maybe I’ll incorporate them into some outfit while I’m here. It was kind of more like a surprising thing.

WWW: What has been the most rewarding part of your career thus far?

CS: I just actually directed my first short film called Kitty. It’s about a little girl who turns into a cat, and it stars a 7-year-old girl. I think that’s been the most rewarding. I’ve always wanted to do it but was not confident enough. But I somehow found the security in my relationship and where I am in my life, my age, that I was like I’m just going to do this. And not to toot my own horn or anything, but I think I did a really great job. It was really rewarding and just communicating to different people on set and the actors, I just felt really comfortable. Of course, it was only three days; if you had to sustain over a couple of weeks I think it would be a whole different thing. But I think I want to keep going with that.

WWW: Is there something you haven’t done in your career yet that you would like to explore?

CS: I think I would like to do more naturalistic style acting. I did a series on Netflix called Bloodline, and I feel like the acting was very naturalistic, and I’d like to do bigger parts. I think the only starring roles I ever had were Kids and Boys Don’t Cry, and I feel like I would like to have bigger, more challenging roles.
