Winter hasn’t even officially started, but the season already has an It item. Over-the-top fuzzy coats, a loud style that once might have been considered gaudy, are now in every celebrity’s closet—just look to Jennifer Lopez, Dakota Johnson, and Angelina Jolie. But if making that much of a statement is a little outside of your comfort zone, there’s a more subtle version Keira Knightley and Katie Holmes have worn.
Rather than going all-in on the trend, both actresses have been spotted wearing coats that integrate the cozy material in a more low-key way, opting for shearling-lined and -trimmed styles. Knightley wore a roomy moto jacket with a fuzzy black trim that gave her white dress a cool edge, while Holmes’s oversized boho style brought a bit more drama to her look. Their jackets were winter-ready, stylish, and not quite as ‘look-at-me’ as this season's trending fur coat (though, Holmes’s was definitely pushing it).
Their styles were a great reminder that your outwear doesn’t have to be a basic peacoat or practical puffer; you can always bring a little drama to your winter wardrobe. Below, shop 10 winter coats inspired by their cozy-chic styles.

Ly Varey Lin Shearling Moto Jacket
Amazon
The best lookalike for Knightley’s cool moto jacket is this style from Ly Varey Lin, which you can grab on sale at Amazon. The faux-leather jacket is available in that same black-on-black style—the chicest—but you can also grab it in nine other looks, including all-white and trending burgundy.
Avec Les Filles Faux Shearling Long Coat
Nordstrom
Avec Les Filler’s faux shearling-lined coat is a great alternative for Holmes’s. It’s long, roomy, and has that same exaggerated collar, though a little more subtle. Holmes’s coat had extra-fuzzy white shearling against a black base, while this one takes a monochromatic approach, opting for trimmed black shearling at the collar and sleeves.
BDG Urban Outfitters Ella Faux Shearling-Lined Aviator Jacket
Nordstrom
Finding a reasonably priced, high-quality winter jacket is next to impossible, but this shopper-favorite style is on sale for under $100 at Nordstrom. The aviator style is timeless and cool, and I love its slightly oversized fit—IMO, a must for winter layering. This chocolate brown version is my favorite, but if you hurry, there are still a few sizes left in the classic black.
Fuzzy coats are already everywhere, so don’t be surprised when they become 2025’s hottest style. While the style is inherently dramatic, there’s a more wearable way to rock the trend that both Knightley and Holmes have opted for.
