It’s coming out of your lounge and on to the red carpet – with diamonds – as the latest post-Covid trend

With temperatures plummeting, coats are being dusted off across the country. But this season it’s not the puffer or the parka vying for style awards. Instead, the bathrobe – or dressing gown – is emerging from indoors to become fashion-approved outerwear.

Vogue this month described the bathrobe as “the coat of the season”, after Angelina Jolie was pictured in a black fluffy one in New York, and both Rihanna and Isabelle Huppert were seen in similar garb on the red carpet.
