Before you come for me, yes, you can wear trench coats in literally hundreds of ways, but if you want it to look 2025 coded, there's really just one that fits the bill—and Chloë Sevigny just wore it. While attending the 19th Annual Golden Heart Awards benefitting God's Love We Deliver on Monday night, the New York City It girl and actress was photographed wearing a dark olive, knee-length trench coat from Saint Laurent with, well, nothing. Let me explain. Instead of donning her trench with jeans, trousers, or a skirt, Sevigny wore the outerwear staple as a dress, skipping all other clothing items and only styling it with sheer tights, Saint Laurent slingbacks, and a gold, satin clutch. It was genius, as well as a styling trick that's quickly catching on all across the fashion landscape.

For example, during fashion month, we saw countless brands style models in coats and just coats, letting their outerwear be the one and only focal point. At Saint Laurent during Paris Fashion Week, Anthony Vaccarello's S/S 26 show saw a bevy of trench dresses made of sporty, translucent nylon, styled with—you guessed it—sheer tights and slingback heels (plus some extra-large earrings). Celine, Bottega Veneta, and Altuzarra all, too, showed trench coats worn as dresses on the runway. Trust me—it's a thing, and now that Sevigny's on board, it's about to be an even bigger one.
