Real fur coats have long been a subject of “controversial” debate on social media due to the cruel methods often used in obtaining real fur, which typically involve mistreating and killing animals on fur farms. As a result, many stylish A-listers have chosen faux fur as a humane alternative, offering warmth during the winter without endorsing animal cruelty. As January 2025 draws to a close, it’s evident that both genuine and synthetic fur are in vogue. The look of authentic fur (even if fake) remains stylish.
Recently, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez sported stylish faux fur coats, with the “Flowers” singer, 32, wearing hers in a video interview with Harper’s Bazaar and the Emilia Pérez actress, also 32, showcasing hers at her engagement picnic with Benny Blanco. Let’s explore this recurring winter trend and their fashionable choices.

During the chat, the “Jaded” artist noted that her style “is in the moment.” As Cyrus told the outlet: “I am committed while also being completely detached. That’s who I am. That’s like being in a relationship with me, that’s being a friend of mine, that’s being related to me. At all times, I am fully convinced until I’m not. And then I am done with it. I have moved on.”
In the November 25, 2024 IG post comments section, one fan deemed Cyrus to be a “style icon” as another added that her faux fur coat “is everything.” For her glam, the “Malibu” hitmaker complemented her dramatic jacket with smokey eyeshadow, voluminous lashes, rosy blush on her high cheekbones and a fiery red lip.
