Update: The winner of the Lammar Trench Coat is Holla_itsBabs with the following comment:

Oh-la-la! Tres HOTT! Something a TV Director DIVA would wear in a freezing cold control room while directing a newscast next to her male counterparts-giving off an air of CONFIDENCE and STYLE, exuding POWER and QUIRK with ULTIMATE COOLNESS–Nevermind the 94 degree heat outside in sunny Tampa, Florida!(Faux Fur in all it’s GLORY included, of course!) HoLLa!!! WATCH OUT, BOYS!

Congratulations Holla_itsBabs and a big thank you to all of you who participated!

Celebrity fashion mavens like Hayden Panetierre and Charlize Theron know how to keep out the winter chill in style: the classic trench coat! And so can you - for free! Chicksdowntown.com is offering one lucky Fashiongrail reader a free BB Dakota Brown Tan Lammar Trench Coat. The classic trench gets an updated, urban attitude styled with a nod to the 1970’s. Crisp tailoring in a “go-with-everything” neutral, the trench is accented with multiple buckled sleeve straps and its own matching belt. The removeable shaggy faux fur collar adds the fittingly retro finish.

How to Play: Simply leave a comment on FashionGrail to the following question: Will you keep the faux fur on the trench or not? Why?

One winner will be randomly chosen. The contest will run from Monday, October 12 to Monday, October 19. U.S. residents only. Have fun and good luck!

Charlize was clearly trying to go for the laid-back red carpet look,but it just didn’t work (a bit sloppy and definitely unflattering). For the redo, I kept her in black but used a strapless sexy cocktail dress with a pair of funky cuffed platforms for some edge. What do you think Of Chalize’s outfit?
