Elegance and refinement: The outfit was shown off in a crisp white shirt covered with a button-down and black trousers.
5. Bold in a Leather Trench Coat
You can see why people often refer to The Weeknd as a lover of outerwear: In addition to his signature mask, he rocked a long black leather trench coat during one of his Starboy-era performances. His structured coat, accompanied by his signature shades, had a definite futuristic and edgy feel to it all which backed quite nicely with the darker themes in his music at this point.
