We need First Lady of Paris Brigitte Macron’s bubblegum pink trench coat right now
She was doing Barbiecore before it was mainstream
Brigitte Macron’s bubblegum pink trench coat is a piece that we're obsessed with and we're ready to add one just like it to our wardrobes.
When it comes to picking from the best winter coats on the market, it can be difficult to decide on the perfect one for you. Whether you're willing to spend more and invest in a Burberry trench coat or would prefer to stick to more affordable pieces, it can be hard to choose - but an old outfit snap of Brigitte Macron is giving us the vibrant pink coat inspo we needed.
Brigitte Macron has always had impeccable style. We've long been admiring her looks - and we especially loved this stunning red tweed blazer she wore while at an event with Queen Camilla last week in France.
However, we haven't been able to stop thinking about this incredible bubblegum pink trench coat that the First Lady wore while out in Washington DC a few years ago with her husband, President Emmanuel Macron.

RRP: £49.50 | This single-breasted coat and cardigan hybrid in candy pink is perfect for adding a pop of colour to your winter wardrobe and replicating Brigitte Macron's vibrant yet chic look. Available in sizes 6 to 24 and under £50!
A more subtle pink
RRP: £49.50 | If eye-catching pinks aren't for you but you're still looking to inject some rosey tones into your style this winter, this more muted pink shade of the M&S Coatigan is perfect. Flattering, feminine and subtle with its powdery hue and timeless fit.
On sale now!
RRP: £275 £87.50 | A total bargain in the ASOS sale, this Gianna Feraud coat in bubblegum pink provides a timeless longline look with a playful pink colourway featuring sleek black buttons. Once priced at £275, it's an utter steal for less than £90 now.
This bright pink trench coat went perfectly with her business-apropos outfit, comprised of a pair of black cigarette trouser just like Kate Middleton's go-to pair and a simple crisp white blouse.
She sported the candy pink piece as she and her husband arrived at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland for a three-day trip to the US back in 2018 - and we're still obsessed with it years later.
She also wore a pair of very simple black pump heels for the occasion, and carried a rather large croc-print black bag that added a bit of an edge to the look.

In true French girl style, Brigitte always keeps her overall aesthetic very simple. She sticks to her classic blow dry hairstyle, letting her shoulder-length blonde locks bounce down to her collarbone, and rarely opts for a makeup look that is anything more elevated than soft glam.
Of course, smart coats will always be a style staple, but this 2018 look from Brigitte is making us want to purchase a bright pink one for ourselves ASAP. After all - who couldn't be happy just looking at that bright pink bubblegum colour?
Plus, a bright pink trench will help you achieve those Barbiecore vibes that have been so coveted this year - and will continue to give you a nice boost of that confident feminine energy every time you wear it.
