If Nicole Kidman has top billing in a show or movie you're watching, you can count on two things. One, she's going to be rocking an iconic wig. And two, she's going to be wearing a fabulous coat. Think: long, tailored and very luxe-looking.

She donned one to shield herself from the Monterey winds in Big Little Lies, and draped herself in a number of them to shield herself from the press in The Undoing. She bundled up in CEO-worthy overcoats before disrobing in Babygirl, and in season two of Nine Perfect Strangers, trudged through the snow of a remote Alpine wellness retreat in a cozy shawl-collar number (ahem, like this one from Loft).

Whether they're billowing with cloak-like drama or tightly belted in mystery, Kidman's coats (in colors ranging from tasteful neutrals to resplendent jewel tones) are the stuff of on-screen legend. And now that the temperatures are dropping and winter is slowly creeping in, I'm officially declaring it Nicole Kidman Coat Season for all of us. Shop five pieces I could see her slipping on for her next role—and yours.

Her lapels are so big because they're full of secrets. That's what I think whenever I see Nicole Kidman wrapped up in an oversized shawl-collar coat, and that's exactly what'll cross everyone's mind when they see you bundled in this belted beauty (which just so happens to be on major sale right now).

Between the hefty wool-blend fabrication, calf-length cut and classic tailoring, this double-breasted coat can see you through even the most frigid temps in style. And that gorgeous emerald green hue? Kidman's various red-haired characters would totally approve.

An elegant wrap silhouette, slouchy sleeves and wool-blend that's sure to be as luxuriously plush as it looks? Thank you, Zara, for crafting the quintessential "Rich Mom" coat at a price point that we non-movie stars can afford.

I love the different Kidman looks you can achieve simply by buttoning or unbuttoning the top of this coat, taking it from a sleek, sophisticated funnel-neck fit for a high-powered exec to a more a relaxed spread collar that's ready for lunch with the ladies after private school drop-off. Either way, it whispers "quiet luxury" with its deep burgundy color and weighty wool blend.

Our leading lady has been known to sneak some elevated embellishment into her outerwear collection (or, at least, her costume designers have). With this splendid blue duster coat featuring jacquard paisley, you too can feel like the artsy wife of a shady Manhattan businessman.
