If there’s one thing we’ve learned as autumn is getting into full swing, it’s that everybody is getting their hands on a leather jacket—and for good reason.

Last week, we reported on a plethora of stars trying out the outerwear style, with Sydney Sweeney and Suni Lee among the celebrities with leather looks this fall. And on Monday, Dua Lipa gave the style her stamp of approval during the South American leg of her Radical Optimism tour.

Today, we’re adding Ilona Maher to the mix. The second-ever SI Swimsuit digital cover model and Olympic medalist donned a burgundy leather trench coat over a plum cropped long sleeve and white midi skirt—completed with closed-toed pumps—in a singular frame shared to Instagram on Monday,

“For those wondering... it’s all [TJ Maxx],” Maher began the post’s caption. The rugby sensation partnered with the brand in early June as a co-sponsor for its You Sponsored by TJ Maxx campaign. While Maher’s specific jacket does not appear to be available on its site at the time of publication, the label currently sells a BOD & CHRISTENSEN trench coat ($249.99) in a similar shade to the Olympian’s jacket.

“Can we just share closets?!?! 😍,” one commenter penned.

“It’s. So. GOOD, 🔥🔥🔥,” another user added.

“I need to get me a leather jacket!” Maher’s former Dancing With the Stars partner Alan Bernsten chimed in. She linked up with the professional dancer just last night, Nov. 11, when she attended the series’ live episode, which celebrated its 20th Birthday Party.

An important partnership

Maher’s partnership with the New England-based brand—which borders the 29-year-old’s home state of Vermont—has roots that are close to home. Beyond the rugby field, the model has continued to shatter the status quo, with her time in the DWTS ballroom as just one example. Additionally, she followed up her digital cover debut with SI Swimsuit with a sophomore shoot in Bermuda for the most recent issue in May.

“A lot of times, especially for women, I think we’re told to tone it down or to not be truly as much of ourselves. And I’ve said no to that,” Maher said in an interview with Parade. “So what [TJ Maxx is] trying to do is celebrate other women who’ve gone against that and who’ve completely wanted to change the script and do what they want.”
