Jennifer Lopez Just Wore the Bold Coat Style My Mom Has Been Sporting for Years — and Rihanna Likes Leopard, Too

Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece. 

Jennifer Lopez and my mom are sadly not related, but they are cheetah sisters. 

The Hustlers actress stepped out earlier this week in a fuzzy topper featuring the pattern that I, for one, could spot from a mile away. She wore a black and brown leopard coat that was practically the same one my mom used to wear any time she left the house during frosty weather, and it made me want to quickly purchase one of the potential coats that are sitting in my virtual shopping cart. 

The bold pattern is a neutral, according to my mother, who wore her coat until she couldn't any longer — at least a decade — and who got compliments on it for most of that time. It's also having a breakout year with Sandra Bullock, Rihanna, and Brittany Mahomes wearing it.

Lopez also had on a black Intimissimi turtleneck — a brand she's a global ambassador for and one she's worn before — and a pair of light blue jeans with a criss-cross waistband, something Taylor Swift's flashed a few times

I've also been wearing cheetah jeans non-stop, so I'm thinking I may have to get a coat for myself, too. This one looks a little less bulky than J.Lo's, so it would probably be better for west coast weather. This Abercrombie version looks warmer, so it might be better suited for my mom who's still stuck in cold temps. It also looks more like Rihanna's, who showcased that a statement coat even does wonders for a sweatsuit. 

Universal Thread Featherweight Turtleneck

There isn't a better time for turtlenecks than in fall and winter, and celebrities know it, too. Shoppers say this version is a brilliant piece for layering and describe it as "breathable," "extra stretchy," and "soft." It comes in black and beige, two turtleneck colors Jennifer Lopez keeps wearing. (And peep the similar patterned coat she previously styled her black top with!)

I've been bored with my denim lately, but I've never tried switching up the waistband. A crisscross waist is a pretty clever move since it doesn't drastically alter the classic look of jeans — it just puts a slight spin on them. This pair has a few tiny rips throughout and some slight fading for a worn-in effect. Plus, there are belt loops for a tighter fit.
