The leather jacket is back and literally bigger than ever.
During Paris Fashion Week in October 2024, Bella Hadid And Rosie Huntington Whiteley made sloppy leather jackets the core of their street style. Days later, Hadid walked the runway at Saint Laurent, where Anthony Vaccarello‘s sloping, dropped shoulders, buckles and flowing designs felt particularly fresh.
Sofia Richie Grainge was already testing the trend in the United States, as just 72 hours before Vaccarello’s October 2024 fashion show, she casually launched the new Saint Laurent leather bomber jacket on Instagram.
Grainge posed poolside in a figure-hugging black maxi dress and flip-flops, taking the photo from the side to show off the jacket’s generous proportions.
Even the most dedicated leather jacket enthusiasts like this Lady Gagaare trading in their sleeker moto styles in favor of a roomier alternative.
Taylor Swift also got the memo, as evidenced when she wore a leather Chiefs jacket that her stylist bought from a fan on eBay to Travis Kelce‘s football match in November 2024. The fan recognized the well-known folds of the jacket, which had the same lived-in look as at Saint Laurent.
From the runway to race day, here’s how celebrities are wearing the new leather jacket trend.
