Ten-Hut! Margot Robbie’s New Look Has Our Attention
While the look is largely associated with Kate Moss (and Napoleon), it’s picking up steam on the runway and among celebrities.
Reported by Vogue.
Military dressing has always had a certain arrogance to it — all that gold braid and structured tailoring designed to communicate authority before you even open your mouth. Right now, it's doing exactly that on the runway and on the streets, and Margot Robbie just made the case more convincingly than anyone.
At the London West End premiere of 1536, Robbie stepped out in a black coattailed military jacket from McQueen's spring 2026 collection — swirling gold embroidery, dramatic coattails, the whole imperial fantasy. She kept the ultra-low-rise trousers from the original runway look but swapped creative director Seán McGirr's no-shirt moment for a black cropped top. Smart. Pointy-toe shoes and a leather clutch closed it out. It was precise, a little severe, and completely intentional — which is exactly the energy the Napoleon jacket demands, according to Vogue.
The Generals Have Assembled
Robbie isn't marching alone. Jenna Ortega wore a fitted Napoleon vest from Dior spring 2026 last fall, grounding the military structure with a frayed denim miniskirt — contrast dressing at its most deliberate. Then there's Dua Lipa, who posted an Ann Demeulemeester spring 2026 red Napoleon jacket on Instagram in January, styled with denim shorts instead of the runway's ethereal celadon dress. She kept the brown moto boots. Three women, three distinct interpretations — all making the same argument.
The silhouette itself isn't new. It's been orbiting cultural consciousness since, well, Napoleon, and more recently through Kate Moss, who wore the aesthetic like it was invented for her specifically. What's different now is the critical mass — the moment when a runway shape stops being a runway shape and starts being the thing everyone actually wants to get dressed in. That moment is clearly here.
The Napoleon jacket works because it borrows the language of power without asking permission — it's structured without being stiff, historical without being costumey, and dramatic in a way that reads as personal style rather than performance. Whether you style it with low-rise tailoring like Robbie, denim like Lipa, or a micro-mini like Ortega, the jacket does the heavy lifting.
When Robbie, Ortega, and Lipa agree on a trend, the conversation is effectively over — the Napoleon jacket is back, and it's here to command the room.
