A fur coat or coat on a woman’s shoulders always gives beauty and warmth. And this is very important in the cold season. Most domestic and foreign stars willingly wear such products, showing wealth and refined taste. But with the advent of fur coats made from artificial material on the market, which, by the way, also look attractive, many stars abandoned the use of natural fur in order to protect nature.
The difference between natural and artificial fur
Probably, a person will never be able to completely give up fur clothing. But the fur can be different!
Natural
Natural skin gives an extraordinary feeling of softness and warmth
.
The fibers on such a fur coat are located unevenly, which gives it the shine of natural hair. In addition, products made from natural materials have increased wear resistance and elasticity .
Important! Material of natural origin provides reliable protection from the cold.
However, a natural fur coat will be of high quality only if all the necessary dressing procedures have been carried out. And carried out correctly. The quality of the product is also influenced by the characteristics of keeping fur-bearing animals, feeding and other factors.
A low-quality fur coat will quickly lose its presentation, begin to shed, or the fibers will change color. In this case, the product will quickly become unusable. Another significant disadvantage of a natural product is its cost . Fur coats made from animal fur will cost the buyer a decent amount.
Artificial
Faux fur is gaining more and more popularity today. Many stars are animal rights activists. They have long abandoned natural materials in favor of artificial ones. There are several reasons for this:
- No animals are harmed during the production of artificial material.
- The cost of the products is much lower, so they are more accessible.
- The appearance is practically not inferior to natural fur and effectively replicates it.
- These fur coats are warm and comfortable even on the coldest days.
- Artificial material makes it possible to use a large number of color options.
Despite all the advantages, a faux fur coat is easy to distinguish from a natural one. The fibers are usually cut evenly and do not always give the same shine as natural hair. If the quality is insufficient, they have less thermal insulation.
The whole world today is thinking about what material to choose. Let's see what the stars prefer.
Alena Shishkova
The model has never hidden her love for natural fur coats. And if earlier she advertised products of various brands, now she has her own. The special pride of Alena’s collection are parkas with fur linings and more than a dozen original short fur coats made of rabbit and raccoon. But the real pearl is a long black fox fur coat worth hundreds of thousands of rubles.
In everyday life, Shishkova prefers shortened mink or chinchilla fur options with sneakers and leather skinnies. Her wardrobe also includes models made from popular multi-colored fur.
Celebrities who continue to wear real fur
Many stars, despite constant criticism from the “greens,” are not going to give up fur coats. Among them are famous singers, actresses, athletes and other famous personalities.
Jennifer Lopez
She is not going to give up natural fur, because she loves it with all her heart. The singer and actress is ready to wear fur coats always and everywhere. She pairs them perfectly with her everyday and evening wardrobe.
Beyoncé
The star's style involves wearing expensive clothes, and fur coats are no exception. Beyonce demonstrates products made from natural fur in everyday life and in video clips.
Kate Moss
This supermodel expertly combines understated casual looks with luxurious fur pieces. At the same time, she doesn’t look too pretentious.
Olsen sisters
Girls today are engaged in business and almost never act in films. But viewers fell in love with them back in the 90s, when they were children.
Today, these girls often show off incredible combinations of long pile fur coats with casual jeans and heels.
Christina Aguilera
For a long time, the singer exploited the image of a retro diva. It was impossible to do without fur capes and coats. They originally complemented the singer’s images on stage and in life.
Lady Gaga
This fashionista knows the price of popularity. And she always tries to surprise her fans without giving up natural fur.
She chooses original models, painted in blue, purple or canary colors, unusual shapes and finishes.
These girls are not afraid of criticism from animal rights activists. They can afford any fur product and take full advantage of these opportunities. Their images in life and on stage make one admire.
Russian stars in fur coats
Of course, the most expensive types of fur remain the favorites among fur products for our stars: sable, lynx, chinchilla. Thus, some of the biggest fans of luxurious sable outfits are Tina Kandelaki, Victoria Bonya and Ksenia Borodina. Most recently, girls demonstrated luxurious outfits made from natural sable at fashionable parties of the season (photo). But Ksenia Sobchak prefers outfits made of long-haired fur - most often on Ksenia you can see all kinds of vests made of silver fox. However, Ksenia also pampered herself with a long black mink blackglama. In general, stars in mink coats appear in photographs more and more often, but the styles and colors of these furs can be completely different - from noble fade to blue Scandinavian mink.
Stars who chose faux fur
Despite the attractiveness of natural fur coats, celebrities are increasingly abandoning such products, preferring artificial materials.
Pamela Anderson
The most ardent activist among stars for the protection of animals and the abandonment of natural fur is actress Pamela Anderson. She has been a vegetarian for many years and does not wear fur products.
In her wardrobe there are only faux fur coats, which look no less impressive.
Melanie Griffith
Several years ago I completely gave up natural fur coats. The actress purchased several products made from artificial pile. And she donated her once beloved fur coats to charity.
Kate Bosworth
The actress loves things that look expensive. And a fur coat made of artificial pile looks chic on a girl too. This is what a mink or fox coat could look like, for example.
Victoria Beckham
For the famous British singer and fashion designer, the problem of choice has already been solved. She only recognizes artificial material! Moreover, she not only offers it in her models, but also wears it herself.
Rihanna
Bright substitutes for real material seem to be specially created for Rihanna. This is probably why she has so many eco-fur coats in her wardrobe: red and pink, green and blue, printed and monochrome.
And they all suit her image amazingly. Looking at the singer, you can’t help but forget about doubts about whether you can look stylish in such outfits.
Sarah Jessica Parker
The famous American actress also has several faux fur coats. She wears them not only in everyday situations, but also on special occasions.
As you can see, modern technologies make it possible to create a product that will reliably protect against the cold. At the same time, it will look no worse than natural. And such models have many advantages.

Victoria Bonya
Nobody loves natural fur more than TV presenter Victoria Bonya. Despite the fact that the TV star spends most of her time in Monaco and other European countries where there is no particular cold, she regularly shows off new clothes made from mink, astrakhan fur and fabulously expensive sable to her subscribers.
Boni's collection is constantly updated. Not long ago she purchased another new item of noble cream color, knee-length, as well as a short chinchilla fur coat, but said that she had long dreamed of wearing lynx fur.
21st century: a sharp turn from refusal to demand
The new century began not very unfriendly to centuries-old fur traditions, and a huge number of business owners and a variety of specialists were seriously thinking about new areas of implementation. For many regions, this was a real collapse, because it was the production and processing of leather and fur, as well as tailoring, that provided the lives of many people, entire families and even villages and towns, the infrastructure of which is tied to these specializations.
When the world faced the global coronavirus epidemic last spring, the owners of fashion and retail houses became completely despondent: everyone expected the complete decline of the industry. Who needs furs if there is nowhere to go in them? And in general, the main issues now were health, and not fashion and style.
But the unexpected happened: everything was exactly the opposite. Leading stylists outlined new trends, and major retailers announced a sharp increase in demand!
Marc Kaufman, owner of the large Marc Kaufman Furs store in Chelsea, recently admitted that he was prepared for a 45 percent decline in business and is now struggling to keep up with demand. The most popular products, in his opinion, today are mink and fox products. Kaufman attributes the increase in sales to cold winter weather and people taking better care of themselves due to COVID-19 concerns.
One of the trendsetters in fur fashion, Dimitrios Furs, has seen orders increase by about 20% this year. According to the owners of the empire, demand is created mainly by young women aged 25 to 35, who prefer such wardrobe items as a cashmere cape trimmed with fox fur or updated vintage fur. Older women choose jackets made of mink and fox, as well as luxury options: for example, double-sided sheared mink coats with hoods. Combined products are also acceptable: long mink coats trimmed with fox or other fur.
Short fur coats
The most popular length of fur coats will still be midi. Such fur coats are the most comfortable and practical, so their popularity is very predictable. But the designers also did not forget about motorists and fashionistas who prefer shortened versions of outerwear: the collections contain quite a lot of sheepskin coats and fur jackets. Examples include DSquared2, Prada and Coach.

Anastasia Reshetova
Timati's model and girlfriend Anastasia Reshetova prefers to buy fur coats in the summer. She regularly informs her subscribers about this on social networks. By the way, the girl’s passion for natural fur is vehemently condemned by her fans. And if earlier Anastasia tried to follow the trend and choose artificial material, now she has ceased to be a vegetarian and wears exclusively original natural products.
Alena Vodonaeva
Alena Vodonaeva not only loves animal fur, but makes money from it. She does not hesitate to advertise Moscow stores that sell products made from arctic foxes, minks and chinchillas. In the advertising post, the model cannot decide whether to choose a light fur coat or a pinkish sheepskin coat. Vodonaeva’s followers noted that furs, of course, suit Alena, but they still look better on the animals from which they were taken.
Regina Todorenko
TV presenter and wife of Vlad Topalov Regina Todorenko went to the supermarket in a long milky fur coat. It is precisely these models that are valuable this season due to their versatility.

“Very cute sheepskin coat. This is suitable for young girls; the style is quite versatile and can be easily combined with any clothing.
If you’re not afraid of volume, you can take this coat two sizes larger to wear with a thick sweater in winter and use the layering trend, which is still relevant this season,” the expert noted.
Anna Netrebko
But world opera star Anna Netrebko made a mistake with her choice of fur outerwear. The star showed up at a social event on the occasion of the theater award ceremony at the Bolshoi Theater. She posed on the balcony in a luxurious burgundy fur coat, however, Anna Bzhedugova found such an outfit irrelevant.

“This is another example of a bad fur coat purchase in 2021 and 2021. The first is the color, the second is again natural fur and an irrelevant style.
I would also like to note the dress, which only emphasized the flaws of the figure - it is not clear why the upper part should be tightened, while at the same time lightening the bottom due to the mesh, but starting literally from the legs,” the image maker noted.
