Fall Coat Trends: Dress Coats
Welcome to day 4 of our week-long look at coat trends for Fall 2006. (To read yesterday's installment, click here.) Today’s spotlight: dress coats. These feminine shapes warm like coats but fit dresses, with full swingy "skirts," cinched waists, and delicate collars.
Trend Alert: Coat Dress
Nicky Hilton is ofter first with directional trend pieces and this week she was spotted at the 'Bra Boys' premiere working the coat dress. Nicky opted for a houndstooth coat dress which she teamed with PVC leggings (Fergie, take note!) and funky heels.
Admittedly, a coat dress is harder to pull off than say a jumper dress as it is much more structured and needs to be worn with the right items.
Coat Dress: Love it or Hate it?
Just in case you're a member of a religious group that requires you to not only cover every inch of your body, but also to do it in designer fashions, perhaps this one is for you.
Neiman Marcus is showing this eskandar coat dress and shirt dress as separates for $930 and $342, respectively.

Girls on Film: Daria Werbowy, Vogue Nippon, Nov. '09
I will never tire of Daria Werbowy's amazingness. For Vogue Nippon's November issue, the Ukrainian-Canadian model strutted her stuff in an editorial dubbed "Girl of the Golden Field." Now this is how Fall dressing should be: cozy sweaters, sherpa-lined leather jackets, ponchos, boots, and fur coats.

Isaac Mizrahi is Mr. QVC these days. Isaac Mizrahi Live, which debuts Dec. 4, just released some of its multicategory goodies.
Trend Alert: The Trench Dress
I've always been a fan of Ginnifer Goodwin's sleek style. She manages to give simple pieces a unique twist. Case in point: her Camilla and Marc silk trench dress.
I Want This Wardrobe: Blair Waldorf
Leave it to Blair to bring fascinating Upper East Side style to NYU. While strolling the collegiate hallways, the former queen bee tempered a sexy gold lame dress by Oscar de la Renta with a ladylike coat — genius. The Gossip Girl then furthered her ferosh with a burgundy-quilted bag, gold bangles, and badass Alexandre Birman python booties.
Sneak Peek! Mise en Scene by Ruffian at Anthropologie
Not too long after we announced Ruffian was designing a collection for Anthropologie, the fruits of Brian Wolk and Claude Morais's labor are here to devour. Deemed Mise en Scene, literally meaning "put in the scene," the line is broodingly romantic, powerful and subtle at the same time. The outerwear is especially handsome, as is this Jacquard Gala Dress ($228) on the right.
Which Gossip Girl Star is the Best Dressed at The Stepfather Premiere?
Most of the cast of Gossip Girl lent their support to Penn Badgley's film career last night as they hit the red carpet at The Stepfather premiere in New York City. His co-star and offscreen girlfriend Blake Lively looked very laid back chic in leather trousers and an oversized blazer. She was joined by Taylor Momsen in a racey tight fitting number and Jessica Szohr in a coat dress and skinny jeans.
