Fashion’s beloved barn jacket trend is utilitarian to its core and calls to mind horse stables and hay bales. And yet, somehow, Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lopez are managing to give this laid-back layer—arguably the most dominant 2025 fashion trend—an elevated twist that reads as more runway and less overgrown wheat fields.
On Thursday, May 8, while visiting Westsider Books in Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Hathaway kept warm amidst chilly spring temperatures in a gold lamé barn jacket from J.Crew’s sold-out Christopher John Rogers collection. She styled her in-demand outerwear alongside cuffed straight-leg jeans, a buttoned shirt, and pointy black boots. While going full-on incognito mode with a pair of wide-framed sunglasses, she carried a chain-adorned shoulder bag and two book-filled tote bags.
