Nicole Kidman gave her chic monochrome outfit a winter-ready flair when she paired a longline tailored coat with some cosy UGG boots - her outfit proves that the iconic footwear can work with even the most sophisticated of looks.
UGG boots are really having a moment in the spotlight right now, with the style always coming back into the public consciousness when winter rolls around and toes start freezing. They're an extremely practical choice of footwear but, when it comes to knowing how to style UGGs, it's fair to say that we tend to lean towards a more laid-back look with the boots feeling decidedly casual.
But Nicole Kidman has proved that UGG boots can look oh-so chic - if you style them right. Spotted out in Manhattan last year, Nicole oozed sophistication in a black tailored midi coat whose crisp, structured shoulders and double-breasted design created a flattering and elegant silhouette, with her addition of sleek leather gloves and a chain-strap handbag only adding to the glamorous feel of the look. And then she unexpectedly added a pair of UGG Classic Mini II Short Boots - and we can't get over how well they work with the outfit.

Nicole Kidman's mini black UGG boots are oh-so chic and we love the cosy style that can work alongside so many different outfits. Pretreated to protect against moisture and staining, you can wear in the rain and snow with no worries, while the plush lining keeps you warm.
As well as the Classic Mini boot Nicole Kidman owns, UGG also does this Ultra Mini style which is exactly the same but just cuts off at a lower leg length. This is great if you find that the taller height cuts you off a bit, with it creating the illusion of a longer leg.
Add some elevated flair to any look with the UGG mini platform boot that mirror's Nicole's style, just with a chunkier sole. These boots also feature a plush wool-blend lining that keeps your toes oh-so toasty no matter what the weather throws at you.
A thick, ridged sole gives these M&S mini boots an elevated look, with the sharp black faux suede balancing chic with cosy. A faux fur trim and inner lining provides tonnes of warmth and we can see these becoming a staple in any shoe capsule wardrobe.
Lined inside and across the insoles with a soft, fluffy fabric to keep your feet warm, these H&M boots are a great winter staple that give you the look and feel of UGGs for a high-street price - plus, they're more than 60% off at the moment!
A faux fur ankle trim gives these boots a cosy-chic flair and adds tonnes of warmth alongside the fluffy inner lining. It's led reviewers to call these boots 'very toasty' and ' so comfy.' Plus, ribbed soles ensure you can walk with added stability all through winter.
Let's be honest, this outfit shouldn't work. Never have we thought of slipping into our comfortable and cosy UGGS when the rest of our outfit is so crisp, tailored and impossibly chic. But it works brilliantly! And that's because Nicole kept the look monochrome.
With the all-black theme running through the outfit, the UGGS don't feel out of place because they too are black. Against her sheer tights, black pencil skirt and matching lace blouse, they blend into the monochrome outfit and the eye isn't drawn to the unexpected choice of shoe. Instead, it feels intentional and streamline - and of course we're going to be copying her style because we want to wear our cosy UGGs absolutely everywhere in the winter.
UGG boots are a staple in capsule wardrobes everywhere, whether you're the proud owner of the best UGG boot alternatives or a real-deal pair. And Nicole's tailored maxi coat is another staple that, if you don't already own, is a great investment to make and will see wear year after year thanks to the timeless and classic appeal of the style. While she chose to style her's with an office-appropriate blouse and midi skirt blend, the coat works equally well to be thrown over any pair of comfortable jeans to instantly elevate any laid-back look - and, of course, UGGs will finish off this type of outfit perfectly too.
Another element of Nicole's look that helps to tie in the cosy UGG boots is her hairstyle. It's a subtle touch that really creates a cohesive look, with her wispy updo, like the boots, giving a more casual flair to the outfit.
Of course, the effortless look is still impeccably styled, with her hair swept back to into a loosely clipped bun while face-framing curls sit beautifully around the face, but it's not as refined or elegant as a bouncy blow-out or a slick, straightened bob that wouldn't work alongside the cosy UGGs as well. It's subtle, for sure, but really does have an impact.
