Brrr… it’s chilly out there, and what better way to stay warm than in a stylish Balenciaga faux fur coat? Cardi B, Monica, and Serena Williams have all been spotted wearing the eye-catching $7,500 electric blue Balenciaga coat on various occasions.
Balenciaga, the luxury brand based in Paris, is known for its innovative designs, and this fur maxi coat is no different. Made in Italy from 100% polyester, it features notched lapels and an open front. While we love traditional mink coats like those from the Fur and Leather Centre, eco-friendly alternatives like this one from Balenciaga are equally appealing.
Cardi B first rocked this stunning piece at Balenciaga’s Los Angeles fashion show in December 2023. The rapper strutted her stuff in the striking coat, paired with Balenciaga’s black signature Knife over-the-knee boots on South Windsor Boulevard.
Retired tennis legend Serena Williams also sported the bright coat during Paris Fashion Week in March 2024. She styled hers with a black strapless mini dress, black stockings, and pointy-toe stilettos. Her blonde curly updo highlighted her extravagant silver necklace and earrings, and her black Balenciaga shades completed the look perfectly.
Monica brought her own flair to the faux-fur coat while out with her partner Anthony Wilson, a TV producer and talent manager. Monica wowed in a navy-blue bodysuit, complemented by her middle-parted hair, glamorous makeup, and dazzling Dolce & Gabbana accessories. Her multicolor $20,600 Dolce & Gabbana boots and matching $13,400 handbag provided a fabulous contrast to her monochromatic outfit.
We love how Cardi B, Serena Williams, and Monica each styled this statement coat effortlessly. From the bold color to the dramatic sleeves, this coat is undeniably iconic.
Who do you think wore it best?
