Alexa Chung is just one celebrity who has worn a specific Mango coat of late.
Few things make the Who What Wear team speechless, but when we spotted not one, not two, but three top-tier stylish celebrities wearing the same Mango coat, for a moment, we were legitimately lost for words. Of course, celebrities wearing high-street isn’t a one-off phenomenon—those whose looks we’re going to break down today have certainly worn their fair share of affordable buys in their time. But seldom do we see several celebs all opt for the same piece, to then wear it within a matter of days of each other, and for that piece to still be in stock by the time we put everything together. However, in this instance, the stars have aligned—and not just metaphorically.

Mango’s coats have been incredibly strong this season, but never before have they been given so much attention from the A-list. Katie Holmes was the first celebrity I noticed wearing Mango outerwear—a green peacoat she wore to run errands in New York City in early January. Unsurprisingly it sold out fast, and life resumed as normal. Then this week, when Alexa Chung stepped out for a book launch in London wearing a beige, double-breasted coat with a perfectly exaggerated silhouette, it was so chic, it immediately commanded my attention. For some reason, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I’d seen this coat somewhere before. Then it dawned on me; I had just scrolled past it on Mango’s website.

Like an alarm bell going off in my mind, I suddenly realised that Chung wasn’t the only celebrity to have worn this woollen Mango coat—both Katie Holmes and Sienna Miller had snapped it up and worn it of late. My Mango contact confirmed my theory that all three women had indeed worn it, the one you now see before you. Which, by some miracle, is still in stock.

A testament to its versatility, Sienna, Alexa, and Katie have styled their Mango coat completely differently to one another. Alexa layers hers over a cream ruffle-hem midi dress, which she finished with black patent Mary-Jane shoes and cute grey socks. Taking a more casual approach, Sienna styles hers with straight-leg jeans and trending cropped Uggs. Katie? She sticks to a neutral and creamy colour palette for her ensemble.
If you’re anything like me and find each outfit appealing, I’ve shopped out their looks below, including the all-important Mango coat.
Isn’t she a beauty?
I’m particularly into the sleeves on this coat.

A handy addition to any sock drawer.
I’ve been eyeing these heels for weeks.
Unlike other lighter-coloured outerwear, this coat has a slightly darker thread woven throughout it, which will wear better.
A colour I always gravitate towards—apparently, so does Holmes.
The ideal trouser for kick off spring with.
Trainers beloved by the fashion set.
Don’t double-breasted coats always look so elevated?
