Zendaya's Hottest Costar in Her New Movie Isn't Robert Pattinson—It's Her Oversize Winter Coat

I need it ASAP.

Zendaya is currently in Boston filming a new movie with Robert Pattinson, a highly-under-wraps A24 joint called The Drama. When I first heard about the project, I assumed these two would be the only pairing convincing me to secure tickets at my nearest AMC the moment they drop. But then clips of the duo on-set surfaced on Nov. 6, and I realized Zendaya's new movie comes with an even hotter costar: a perfectly slouchy, extra-oversize gray winter coat.

I mean no offense to Mr. Pattinson, who once lived on my bedroom wall in the form of a Twilight poster and remains my non-platonic ideal of a celebrity boyfriend. (Suki Waterhouse, you're living my dream.) But Zendaya's type of coat, styled for a scene the pair filmed on Boston's historic Beacon Street, is the sort I've pined after for even longer than I have for the aloof British actor.

Grainy, fan-taped videos of Z and Pattinson walking in front of the film cameras revealed she wore a longline, heather gray coat with sleeves that grazed her knuckles. The only other visible elements of her outfit included a black leather tote slung over one shoulder and a curly, low bun. Still, I was sold.

This coat called to me even more than the affordable Reformation sweater she wore for a walk with Tom Holland earlier in the week. I know nothing about Zendaya's new movie, plot-wise, or how a gray overcoat fits into her character's wardrobe and the scene she filmed with Pattinson. I do know from that nine-second clip that her coat is early winter perfection. It's oversize without overwhelming her frame; it's light enough to wear with a substantial sweater underneath. It's not clear which brand it comes from or even which costume designer chose it, but it doesn't matter: It's already the breakout star of the movie in my book.

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson will be filming in Boston for the next few weeks. Between takes, I'm crossing my fingers for a closer look at her coat. In the meantime, my own search continues with a few excellent (and affordable) similar versions I shopped out below.
