Fall Fashion Trends: 6 Celebrity-Inspired Looks in Soft Brown Shades

Fall beckons a change in weather, a drop in temperature, and a whole new wardrobe. You don’t need heavy layers just yet, as the chill still calls for easy, loose layering.

This season, you can’t go wrong with the hottest colour of the year: soft shades of brown. This rich, sophisticated palette not only evokes calming moments and crisp fresh air, but also makes any outfit look instantly expensive. And who knows it better than our beloved celebrities, who have been showcasing their own inspiring ensembles in chocolate brown?

From tailored blazers to maxi coat dresses, here are six celebrity looks you can recreate this month.

Angelina Jolie

The Maleficent actress stepped out on the red carpet recently for her upcoming movie Couture premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Angelina Jolie wowed the crowd in a trendy double-breasted maxi coat dress by designer Gabriela Hearst in elegant chocolate brown.

The semi-formal outfit featured a thigh-high slit from the coat falling open, which let her recreate the iconic 2012 Oscars pose with one leg peeking out. She completed the look with sheer black tights and classic black heels.

While it’s hard to pose like Angelina Jolie, you can still recreate the Hollywood star’s look with our curated coat dress here. Paired with a crisp shirt, jeans, or even a mini skirt, this versatile style is perfect for all kinds of evening occasions.

Gwyneth Paltrow

The queen of quiet luxury decided to take a break and embraced a full-on logomania, ushering in a new age of Gucci at the maison’s Spring-Summer 2026 show at Milan Fashion Week

Gwyneth Paltrow was recently seen in a showstopping head-to-toe outfit featuring the classic Gucci double-G monogram logo in beige (a lighter brown tone). Her chic ensemble included a pussybow blouse and a matching A-line skirt, which was cinched at the waist with a Gucci logo belt, as well as matching monogrammed knee-high boots.

Tang Yan

Fendi spokesperson and actress Tang Yan was seen decked in the Italian maison’s single-breasted tailored suit with satin side flaps and matching relaxed wide trousers in soft brown hues during Milan Fashion Week 2025.

Looking like a million bucks, Tang rocked Fendi’s semi-casual outfit by pairing it with slingback pumps and a Fendi scarf tied neatly around her ponytail. She complemented the outfit by sleek sunglasses and a leather top-handled bag in soft brown tones, finished with a playful charm doll.

Whether for the office or a formal event, a matching brown ensemble like Tang’s is always a winning choice. Explore our curated single-breasted tailored suits for women from coveted brands such as Emporio Armani or head over to our Fall For Brown collection for more choices.

Zoë Kravitz

Meanwhile, the statuesque Iman opted for a bolder shade of brown in a leather trench coat and turtleneck, finished with knee-length animal-print boots made to turn heads.
