Having said that, if you would like to add a leather jacket to your wardrobe, we are sharing some iconic leather jackets worn by women Hollywood stars. Also, you might get some hints for styling the leather jackets!

Trinity's Trench Coat in "The Matrix"

We have always watched Tom Cruise playing the dapper role with his tough-guy wardrobe, but Carrie-Anne Moss has rocked a leather trench coat. In the movie The Matrix, she wore a sleek black leather coat. This helped her achieve a badass look, which was totally in line with the film and overall aesthetic of this trilogy. 

This leather trench coat became a signature element of the trilogy, and even today, the designers are still taking inspiration from The Matrix and Carrie-Anne while designing leather coats. As per Vogue, for fall 2024, brands like Burberry and Hermes are using the same dark tones for their coat range and some brands are begging Trinity to wear them in action-packed scenarios!

The Bride's Motorcycle Jacket in "Kill Bill"

Who said leather jackets have to be black or brown only? If you also had this misunderstanding, the motorcycle jacket in Kill Bill will fix it. In this movie, Uma Thurman plays the role of "The Bride," she wears this attention-grabbing yellow motorcycle jacket. The film is based on martial arts, so all the martial arts-loving women must take notes. 

This jacket became a symbol of her determined, strong, and ruthless character. The jacket had these zipper-style closures, which gave a very polished yet tough look instantly, and the snap tab collar made sure the neck looked slim and long. The jacket has a padded design, which instantly hides your body's imperfections. 

It's no secret that we love the bright yellow color of this jacket, but what else? The zipper-style cuffs. These cuffs instantly add an oomph to the look (it's not a conventional jacket, and we are here for it!). 

Sandy's Leather Jacket in "Grease"

Who didn't love Olivia Newton-John's character in Grease? She was a woman with perfectly blow-dried hair, hoops in her ears, crimson lips, and a cigarette in her mouth. Her aura was so powerful that watching her on screen was a privilege. Her persona was accentuated even more with her black leather jacket. 

She paired the iconic leather jacket with a bare-shoulder top and black spandex pants. This might sound like a simple outfit, but it was an absolute glow-up for Sandy, a pastel-loving feminine woman. This look brought John Travolta to her feet.

Many people don't know this, but this outfit was auctioned for $405,700. However, she didn't have to stay away from her leather jacket for so long because the buyer returned it to her. After all, it only suited her and her aura. This leather jacket reflected her amazing transformation into a rebellious and robust woman. 

Emma Stone's Biker Jacket in "La La Land"

Everyone remembers Emma Stone's famous yellow dress in La La Land, but how can we forget about the biker jacket she absolutely aced? Her character, Mia, wore a maroon biker jacket (yes, an absolute classic), which added a lot of edge and character to her role and a much-added retro aesthetic to the movie. 

This jacket's lapel-style collar added dimension to the neck area, and the zipper closure gave it an authentic look. In addition, there were two waistline pockets, a must-have for women (where else would she put her peachy lip gloss?). 

The jacket has open-hem cuffs, so it is easy to pair with a button-down shirt. However, if you want an edgy look, you can wear a similar jacket with a maxi or short dress. This trendy jacket will add a fashionable layer to your attire, and you will look straight out of a Hollywood movie. 

Conclusion

There was a time when leather jackets were reserved for men only because they were considered too masculine for women. However, women like Emma Stone, Olivia Newton-John, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Uma Thurman changed the perception by wearing and rocking leather jackets in their blockbuster movies. 

A good leather jacket has become a staple for everyone because they are timeless and can be paired with casual and upbeat looks. After all, there is a reason leather jackets are ruling Hollywood and celebrities' wardrobes. They give your look a premium feel and add spice to it.
