Maura Higgins has left fans in awe once again as she stepped out in a Jean Paul Gautier trench coat, which, interestingly enough, doubled as a minidress. She put a modern spin on the timeless piece, proving that a trench coat is enough on its own. Spotted in Tribeca on January 22, the Irish reality TV star looked as stunning as ever in the structured coat she paired with sheer stockings.
Maura Higgins steps out in $2K Jean Paul Gaultier Trench that moonlights as a minidress
Maura Higgins turned a classic wardrobe staple into a head-turning fashion moment by styling a trench coat as a minidress. It is no secret that she loves herself in a good beige trench coat, but this new look might just have surpassed her previous ones. The coat, moonlighting as a minidress, showcased her ability to reinterpret high-fashion staples on her own terms.
The $2,000 Jean Paul Gaultier coat featured sharp tailoring and a structured silhouette. The standout detail of the piece is the front leg cutouts. The cutouts transformed the trench from traditional outerwear into a statement piece. A long, flowing back panel trailed behind, creating contrast between the short front and elongated rear. With its high-low hem and daring cutouts, the double-breasted, body-hugging coat was a reimagined version of the classic trench.
Higgins paired the coat with sheer black stockings, pointed-toe heels, a navy Hermes bag, and black leather gloves. Previously, she was also seen carrying this bag during her outing in New York City on January 21. For that appearance, she had opted for a LaQuan Smith suit, featuring a latex skirt with a high slit.
Another striking detail of her look from her recent appearance was the small black hat with a delicate netted veil. The hat added a vintage touch to the look. She wore her brunette tresses slicked back. Meanwhile, her makeup matched the elegance of her style with the winged black eyeliner and nude lip shade.
