Eva Mendes Paired Hollywood's Go-To Coat with the Eye-Catching Print Sandra Bullock Is a Fan Of, Too

Welcome to The Blueprint, where we take apart the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and recreate them, piece by piece.

I’m all about having things in my closet that I know I’ll wear countless times. But I hate to admit it’s getting a bit boring. You know what’s not boring? Clothing with animal print.

Eva Mendes just inspired me to ditch my little black dress for something bolder. While out in New York, the actress was spotted in a leopard print midi dress. Sandra Bullock, Blake Lively and Salma Hayek have reached for a striking print this year as well.

She styled the look with a raincoat, which stars like Natalie Portman are reaching for this fall. And black boots are indispensable for every wardrobe. Spice up your wardrobe with these combo pieces from Amazon, Nordstrom, and J.Crew below.

Prettygarden midi dress with puff sleeves

Amazon

$48 on Amazon

Puff sleeve dresses like this one available on Amazon are practical for fall — and Reese Witherspoon is a fan of the trend. I like to wear frills like the ones on the sleeves because they look elegant. The midi dress also has layers that add to its romantic vibe. Besides the Mendes-inspired leopard print, you can get it in 32 colors like blue, green and red.

Relaxed trench coat by J.Crew

$328 $200 at Jcrew.com

Combining a bold print with a vibrant shade like this blue J.Crew raincoat is a recipe for standing out. The style worn in Hollywood is genius for fall because it’s not as heavy as a winter jacket, but still keeps you decently covered. This raincoat has a pointed collar, buttons and two functional flap pockets. It can also be washed in the washing machine.

Modatop knee high boots

Amazon

$80 $55 on Amazon

Both Mendes and Taylor Swift recently stepped out in black boots, and now I’m so excited to start breaking out the staple shoe. This pair features a high calf-warming upper and a chunky platform heel for a little lift. In addition to black, they are available in 14 colors such as brown and white.
