Have you seen young women in trench coats, peacoats, cardigans and jackets, neatly buttoned up, posing fiercely with the caption “trench coat buttoned to the TOP” on TikTok and Instagram recently?
These posts are inevitably accompanied by street-style shots of Lily Rose-Depp flitting about in buttoned-up denim jackets, coats and in one now infamous image where she stands next to girlfriend 070 Shake in a short trench coat and a pair of pale blue Maison Margiela Tabis.
Lily Rose-Depp, who started 2025 strong by gifting us a stellar performance in Nosferatu, has now bestowed upon us the first viral trend of 2025, and it seems like trench coats will never be the same. Before we get into the appeal of the look, we’ll give you a precise idea of what is going down on TikTok right now.
Trench Coat Buttoned To The Top TikTok Trend Explained
While your first thought might be that” “trench coat buttoned to the TOP” is merely a fashion trend for 2025, given the presence of Tabis and the number of sashaying, buttoned-up influencers on the platform, this TikTok trend has darker roots. TikTok has resurfaced as a viral meme that popped up on X when it was still on Twitter in 2024.

In an angry post that quickly became a meme, a fan shared an encounter with Lily-Rose Depp and her girlfriend, rapper 070 Shake (Danielle Balbuena) in Soho, New York.
The fans were unimpressed by Depp, who may have been hoping to enjoy an uninterpreted night with her girlfriend, was rude.”We approached them with nothing but respect. 070 was so sweet and willing. The big headed b*tch on the right had the craziest attitude. Nd she was grasping onto shake like someone was tryna snatch her. Girl relax,” they wrote in an insult-riddled Instagram story.
“You’re not even fitted. Like yk your new show just came out, you’re trending, your dad was just in court. Don’t walk around soho looking this crazy. Trenchcoat buttoned to the TOP and these ballerina a** slippers. What’s going on?” In fashion circles, Depp is far more famous than 070, and the internet seemed tickled by the fan’s glib treatment of her and her chic outfit that featured an un-ID’d coat and a pair of pastel blue Maison Margiela Tabis that have a starting retail price of $1,430.
At the time Depp was starring in The Idol and experiencing the start of her climb from nepo baby to actor in her own right. The post went viral on Twitter and was everywhere on Reddit, then died down. But now, thanks to Depp’s high visibility, it has resurfaced on TikTok.

The trench coat buttoned to the top has transformed from a random 2024 viral moment to certified internet lore on TikTok.
TikTokers have been performing solemn live readings of the fan’s screed. Part of the trend is performing the monologue in different languages, with users giving Shakesperan dramaturgic readings in Brazilian, French and Russian. Australian singer Peach PRC even offered an Aussie-MAFS inspired version of the trend. Others have created Medieval-looking fan art. Another account posts a video that says, “Grandma tell us a bedtime story,” followed by “me” and a woman reading from her Kindle like a school teacher with the caption “in 40 years”. These posts appear under hashtags #yourenotevenfitted #bigheadedbish, and #trenchcoatbuttonedtothetop.
Will We Be Buttoning Our Trench Coats To The Top In 2025?

The fan’s insults of Depp’s physical appearance could be interpreted as problematic but if Depp, who is on a high after beating the Nepo-baby charges with Nosferatu, is bothered, she’s not showing it. And, far from being dissuaded by the “not fitted” insults, the sartorial set is listening up. It seems like buttoned-to-the-top jackets, cardigans, and trenches are going to be everywhere this winter, thanks to the trend.
Depop has already posted a “get the look” writing “we have nothing but respect for Lily-Rose Depp’s buttoned-to-the-TOP jacket and ballet flats” with trenches, overcoats, peacoats and an array of pre-loved Margiela Tabis. A commenter on a post that pointed out Depp is always wearing buttoned to the top looks wrote: Idk! But being buttoned to the top, high neck clothes etc looks so elegant and mysterious for me, make women and men looks so classy .. even gym clothes, im men and I like it.” We’re inclined to agree.
Depp is arguably one of the world’s most stylish women right now, and where she goes, we follow. There’s something appealingly preppy and ineffably French about the trench coat buttoned to the top trend, and fashion-Tok seems to be embracing the IDGAF energy that has become attached to the look.
