Kate Hudson took to Instagram in a beige-and-stone coloured checked coat that immediately led to the comments section flooding with questions about where the cosy coat is from.
Heritage checks have been everywhere lately, dominating as one of the best winter coat trends 2025 and quietly carrying over into the upcoming spring collections. From oversized wool styles to some of the best trench coats being covered in plaid or herringbone, designers and high-street brands have leaned heavily into checked prints.
The warming wool coat was spotted in a series of photos Kate shared whilst announcing how honoured she feels to be nominated for a BAFTA for her recently released film Song Sung Blue.
I can envision wearing this coat all year round, from the freezing winter months well into spring due to its neutral colourway and playful print. If, like me, you're wondering where this coat is originally from, you're in luck. British fashion designer Tan France quickly commented, "Wait, that's my coat!! I designed that!!" revealing that it was originally part of his Was Him Tan France Collection.
