Wow, it’s definitely chilly out there, but there’s no better way to stay warm than in a stylish Balenciaga faux fur coat, right? Celebs like Cardi B, Monica, and Serena Williams have all been spotted rocking the stunning electric blue $7,500 Balenciaga coat on various occasions.
This Spanish luxury brand, based in Paris, is famous for its cutting-edge designs, and this fur maxi coat is no exception. Made from 100% polyester in Italy, it features notched lapels and an open front. While traditional mink coats are classic, like the ones from the Fur and Leather Centre, we have to give a nod to eco-friendly alternatives like this Balenciaga piece.
Remember when Cardi B was the first to dazzle in this coat at Balenciaga’s Los Angeles fashion show in December 2023? She owned the runway on South Windsor Boulevard in this edgy number, paired with Balenciaga’s black signature Knife over-the-knee boots.
Following Cardi B, the iconic retired tennis star Serena Williams turned heads in the same coat during Paris Fashion Week in March 2024. She styled it with a black strapless mini dress, black stockings, and pointy-toe stilettos. Her curly blonde hair was pinned up, perfectly showcasing her extravagant silver necklace and earrings, along with black rectangular Balenciaga shades, making the entire look feel on-brand.
Monica added her personal touch to the faux fur coat while out with her partner Anthony Wilson, a TV producer and talent manager. Wearing a navy-blue bodysuit, Monica looked stunning. From her sleek middle-part hairstyle to her glamorous makeup and Dolce & Gabbana accessories, she definitely made a statement. Her multicolor Dolce & Gabbana boots and matching handbag, priced at $20,600 and $13,400 respectively, were a fabulous contrast to her blue outfit.
It’s amazing how Cardi B, Serena Williams, and Monica each brought their own unique style to this statement coat. Its bold color and exaggerated sleeves make it truly iconic. So, if you had to pick, who do you think wore it best?
