Angelina Jolie is talented in so many ways but the talent we don't talk about enough seems to have a sixth sense for buying a jacket she almost does with her knack for finding a great coat, the many ways Katie Holmes does with denim, and the way she looks regardless of the season. Remember the short・sleeved Dior Trench she made her debut at the Venice Film Festival on May 8 when she watched the film "Of course you are."

Now, Jolie seems to have retired her summer trench for the season. It is. 11 Her new film, Maria— A screening of a biopic about opera singer Maria Callas— The star went out to New York City wearing a traditional beige double-breasted trench coat complete with strappy cuffs and a waist-tightening belt.

Like a true 90s It girl, the 49-year-old layered a classic autumn jacket over a black velvet slip dress that fell to the ankle. With the exception of a single gold ring and a set of diamond stud earrings, her only other accessory was a simple pair of black leather pumps. Her honey blonde highlight was given a sleek punk with a middle part, while her glam kept to a minimum as well with black eyeliner, shiny translucent pink lips, and barely there beige pink blush pussy flick.

It is worth noting that not all trench coats are similar. Some come in heavyweight materials like leather or wool, while others prefer crisp fabrics like cotton gabardine, silk and denim. Some are hooded and can repel water on rainy autumn days. Others are decorated with frills and embroidery. Trench coats are traditionally beige, but designers are beginning to offer styles in alternative neutral, such as navy blue, olive green and stone gray. Simply put, there is a whole world of trench coats out to meet a range of preferences and price points.

However, what unites all the best trench coats is a swirling cape-like shape that cannot compete with other types of coats. In life, there is hardly anything that looks as chic and mysterious as a windswept trench coat. Of this, I'm pretty sure. I feel Angelina Jolie agrees. For her, wearing a trench coat is a way to be secret, even when she's in the limelight.

"My daughter is joking that I'm wearing a trench coat too much," Jolie told WSJ. Last year's magazine. "It's just like something hidden.

However, don't be surprised if you accidentally turn your head when you use a luxurious designer trench like her.
