When shopping for a Fall coat, we tend to lean toward the usual: black, gray, or tan outerwear — colors we assume will go with everything. But one look at all the jewel-toned outerwear being rocked by our favorite stars, and we're slowly starting to change our minds. This year, brighter is most definitely better.

From Kate Middleton to Lupita Nyong'o, a variety of our current fashion icons have been bundled up in bold colors. Read on to see their looks, then shop similar options for yourself. Why blend in when you were born to stand out?
