Just like Delevignge, the 44-year old retired supermodel has been the face of the Burberry trench coat for women. She was also spotted multiple times wearing a classic trench coat while injecting her personal style. This woman is a rockstar and makes everything look good up until today. She was once spotted wearing an oversized double-breasted trench coat that lands mid-length while wearing palazzo pants.

The former Spice Girls has been having a rocket of a career these days. While juggling her time with her beautiful family and her eponymous fashion house, Victoria Beckham hasn’t slowed down with her sartorial choices. Her trench coats of selection recently have been oversized and soft. Aside from that, this style superstar has been a fixture in the fashion show circle and has been in the cover of a number of magazines. With her unassuming sense of style, Beckham can make a deep blue trench coat look ultra feminine by dressing it up with an electric purple dress.

 

Stella McCartney: Fashion role model

How many women are there in fashion right now? While the business of glamor is clamoring for making women beautiful, Stella McCartney does not take her stature in fashion for granted. With collaborations from the hottest street brands here and there, the British fashion designer has been making clothes for women through her eponymous brand. Aside from that, McCartney is not a stranger to personal style. Translating her idea of beauty for women by making trench coats in a loose fashion. Her brand sells classic trench coats, tweet trench coats jackets, and lace leather trench coats.

Dressed in couture and cool trench coats while breezing the cold street, Emma Watson was once spotted in a hybrid mix of leather and classic cotton double breasted trench coat. Safe to say, Ms. Watson is a cool lady on a mission.

 

Emily Blunt: The true British

I loved Emily Blunt since I saw her on the Devil Wears Prada. Her Prada-obsessed runway file (pun intended) makes this woman a certified Hollywood superstar with great credentials to back in up. In terms of fashion, Emily Blunt has always been an English woman. She talks one and she sure dresses like one. The actress was once spotted in a powder blue trench coat with a nice belt cinching her waist. She was also spotted in a cool maroon puff trench coat during a film shooting. Emily Blunt is a true British woman who embodies not just her roots but also in fashion.

 

Sienna Miller: Boho chic

Bohemian style has been a fixture in fashion for years counting and Sienna Miller can be accounted for that since she made it cool again in 2005. With other Hollywood A-listers following suit, this woman makes the carefree style as relevant as it should be. She was spotted countless times in a loose trench coat and made it to her to style moments. If you want to steal her look, go for an oversized off-white (not the brand) trench coat and pair it with a printed chiffon shirt and denim jeans.

 

Helena Bonham Carter: The eccentric style

She may not have been a force in fashion but Helena Bonham Carter is a true artist. Her rather eccentric style choices have been criticized perhaps but she is an individual. Wearing ruffles and interesting mixes, the Oceans Eight actress was spotted in trench coats that do not hug the body like the usual and pairing it with boho skirts. If you want to steal her style, go for unexpected fashion choices but make it a point that it will look well put together.
