At the Whitby Hotel in New York City alongside her fellow Wednesday cast, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán and Steve Buscemi, the 23-year-old actress styled what appeared to be a wool knee-length jacket over a super casual combo. Underneath, Ortega donned a comfy-looking charcoal turtleneck, silver necklace and cuffed, medium-washed baggy jeans. Then, she finished her look with leather-like gloves and ultra-high platform boots, which gave her some extra height.

Also in the Big Apple, Munn took an edgier approach with her coat. The ankle-length jacket featured a shiny leather fabric, a tailored silhouette and some dainty fringe detailing in its center.In contrast to Ortega’s styling, the Your Friends & Neighbors actress opted for a monochromatic display for her stroll. She sported a turtleneck midi dress with black leather boots that peeked underneath its hem; then, she added a teeny pair of crystal-studded earrings and tossed on a pair of sleek black sunnies.

Rihanna

The music industry titan and brand mogul wore this style not once, but twice this month—and she showed how a few simple changes can completely switch up a look.

A date night display

On the West Coast, Rihanna repped her own leather look on an evening date night with her beau, A$AP Rocky. The longtime music mogul and Fenty brand founder twinned with her man in matching leather trenches; however, while he tied the garment around his waist, Rihanna left hers open to display an asymmetrical black maxi dress. She also played with a few funky accessories, like two-toned rings, a reflective handbag and a stack of necklaces.

Rihanna also showcased this dynamic coat—which leaned more towards a very dark navy blue hue than black—at the 2024 CFDA Awards at The American Museum of Natural History earlier this month. In contrast to her look in Santa Monica, the mother of three styled a pair of pleated ivory pants with the midnight blue garment, which were tucked into close-toed black heels.
