Sofia Coppola has always made getting dressed look easy. Even during her early years in downtown New York City, her style felt innate and natural, never curated. That effortlessness is apparent in her cover shoot for ELLE’s 2026 Women of Impact issue, styled by fashion director Alex White. The wardrobe leans on pieces you already know and love—a great white tee, straight-leg jeans, a sharp pair of heels, and a standout jacket—but they still feel fresh.
Nothing is overdone; a sequined jacket is paired with denim, and leopard feels like a neutral. Even the more formal pieces, like a lace-trim skirt or a satin dress, feel grounded. It’s the kind of sensibility Coppola has carried with her since her internship at Chanel, which, as she told ELLE, taught her “what chic women look like.”
That instinct—knowing what works and keeping it simple—still defines her approach today. As Coppola put it in her profile, “You have to always do what you’re drawn to and not wonder why.” The result is a wardrobe that feels consistent, personal, and timeless.
Below, shop the pieces inspired by her ELLE cover wardrobe, curated by White.
