The Best Dressed Stars of the Week Donned Great Coats—and Greater Gowns

Between awards season in Hollywood, and the New York Fashion Week fall 2025 shows, there were plenty of stellar red carpet moments to be had in the last seven days. Naturally, the step and repeats were filled with star power. But the best dressed celebrities? It was the A-listers who leaned into sublime winter dressing—slipping into some of the most elegant gowns of the season, and a serious array of power coats, too.

Red Carpet Moments from the East Coast

New York Fashion Week Fall 2025 was a hotbed of celebrity sightings, with numerous A-listers turning out to support their favorite designers. On the Calvin Klein runway, Phoebe Philo’s plushy jacket stole the show, with Kendall Jenner pairing it with a $11,000 ensemble and Kate Moss opting for a classic black topcoat.

Another notable look from the Calvin Klein show was Hailey Bieber, who stepped out with Justin Bieber in a vintage Mugler jacket and skirt suit. This look proves that sometimes, the classics are still the best.

Awards Season in Full Swing

The 2025 Directors Guild of America Awards saw Ayo Edebiri shine in a chocolate brown Khaite silk dress, while Zoe Saldaña’s polka-dot Nina Ricci number was a showstopper. Meanwhile, at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, Ariana Grande donned a sculptural Dior Couture dress in tulle and crinoline that took 3,800 hours to make.

It’s worth noting that this look was not in Glinda pink, per her Oscar-nominated Wicked character—but it was fit for a magical being.

Winter Wonderland in the City

As the snow fell on the streets of New York City, stylish showgoers braved the elements in sleek outerwear that made a statement. Kendall Jenner, for one—who just walked the Calvin Klein runway show—stepped out in a plushy Phoebe Philo jacket (that retails for a cool $11,000), pairing it with black tights and studious spectacles.
