The celebrity stylist-approved 'IT' item from Target shoppers can't get enough of: 'Wow I need it'
Fashion-forward Aussies and celebrity stylists alike are rushing to Target this winter for not only budget basics, but also the incredible range of coats.
Celebrity stylist Donny Galella shared a video showcasing all his latest favourite finds inside the store, including one of the must-have jacket styles of the season.
Known for dressing some of Australia's most stylish stars, including the odd Hollywood A-lister like Drew Barrymore and Leanne Rimes, Donny is a master of finding affordable pieces that punch well above their weight.
This winter, it seems fashion is leaning into rich textures, and suede is leading the pack.
Soft, structured, and seriously stylish, suede is bringing an elevated, tactile quality to any outfit and whether real or faux, suede adds a luxurious feel that looks expensive, even when it's not.
'It's all about the suede bomber this season,' Donny told his followers in the video, showing off Target's Faux Suede Bomber Jacket ($60) before grabbing more eye-catching styles off the rack.
Incredibly, the 'IT' design looks almost identical to Henne's cult-favourite Mara Suede Bomber, which comes with an eye-watering $349 price tag.
'This is the beautiful off-white colour,' he added, spinning round the trending bomber style that has been flying off shelves.

The Target jacket includes a rounded neckline, stud button closures, and long cuffed sleeves, along with practical side pockets.
At first glance, the similarities between the two are striking.
They have the same oversized silhouette, the same luxe suede texture, and that same effortlessly cool vibe that shoppers can't get enough of.
But it's the price tag that's turning heads, with fashion lovers scoring the look for less than a sixth of the designer version.
Donny also recommended the Target Faux Suede Trench Coat ($70), made from the same luxe-looking fabric, to showcase its versatility in a different silhouette.
'[And] a gorgeous caramel trench in suede with a belt,' he added.
'I should say 'faux suede, not actually real-leather suede.'
The on-trend colours, textures, flattering cuts, and easy wearability had Donny's followers agreeing to his top-picks in the comments.
'Ahhh I need that trench, wowww,' one wrote.
'Absolute need,' commented another with multiple love heart emojis.
While the tan and off-white shades are clearly favourites, Target's wider coat range also includes faux leather blazers, oversized shackets, and puffers in earthy winter tones, highlighting the brand has seriously stepped up its outerwear game.
With sizes ranging from 6 to 26 in many pieces, the retailer continues to champion inclusive fashion at accessible prices, appealing to the everyday Australian shopper.
These jackets can transform a simple outfit into something more elevated, all for under $70 each.
It's proof that you don't have to break the bank to look high-end, and Donny has confirmed these suede jackets are set to become the season's biggest style steals.

Grace Tame's contract with Nike under threat just six months after she was made an ambassador as sports brand launches probe into her views on Israel
Grace Tame 's role as a Nike ambassador may be at risk after the sportswear brand started a probe into her views on Israel. The former Australian of the Year is an outspoken advocate for survivors of sexual assault and has shared several posts on social media in solidarity with Palestinians. Nike released a statement on Monday stating Tame's team were being spoken to, although it's not been confirmed exactly what sparked the probe. 'Nike does not stand for any form of discrimination,' a spokeswoman told The Australian. 'We take this matter very seriously and are in touch with Grace's team to understand the matter further.' Tame has been an ambassador for Nike for only six months after she was appointed by Nike in January. The Australian athlete has been vocal in her support of Palestinians and last month joined a panel of speakers at the Feminism in the Time of Gaza forum. At least 450 people heard from four speakers at The Edge in Federation Square, Melbourne at a forum organised by the Australian Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN). Tame said this was the first time she had spoken publicly about Palestine and revealed she had been asked not to speak about the Gaza-Israel conflict at several events. 'Empathy should have no boundaries,' Tame, who won the 2024 Victorian Great Ocean Road Ultramarathon, said. Tame joined Bundjalung Widubul-Wiabul woman Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts, a lawyer and human rights advocate and Randa Abdel-Fattah, a writer and advocate for Palestinian people. Jordana Silverstein, a senior research fellow at the Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness at the University of Melbourne, also sat on the panel. On Monday, the same day Nike released a statement, Tame shared a quote from climate activist Greta Thunberg who is on board a Freedom Flotilla aid mission sailing to Gaza aimed at breaking Israel's blockade. 'We are doing this because no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying, because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity.' The World Health Organisation has warned Gaza is at risk of famine as a result of the blockade. Three-quarters of Gaza's population is at risk of suffering 'emergency' or 'catastrophic' food deprivation. Last week, Tame reposted a statement on Instagram from Palestinian writer Mohammed el-Kurd, in which he critcised journalists who reported on the fatal shooting of an Israeli embassy couple in Washington DC as a 'random anti-Semitic attack'. Sarah Lynn Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum when they were shot dead. Elias Rodriguez, who police say shouted 'free Palestine' after being taken into custody, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder. In November 2023, Tame added her voice to Oxfam Australia's demand for a ceasefire in Gaza. Daily Mail Australia contacted Nike and Tame for comment. Tame had shared a gushing message in January after revealing she was the new ambassador for Nike. 'I couldn't be more excited to announce that I am officially an ambassador for Nike. This has been a long time in the making,' she wrote. She thanked her manager, Lauren Miller, and cousin Eloise Nairn-Smith, who founded the website Ritual Runners and who Tame called her 'coach and hero'.

Former Channel Seven star Denham Hitchcock breaks his silence as he confirms shock move to Network Ten
Channel Seven 's Denham Hitchcock has officially jumped ship to Network Ten, becoming the third high-profile journalist to exit the network in a major shake-up of Australia's media landscape. The veteran reporter confirmed the news on Monday on Instagram, revealing he would be joining Ten's soon-to-be-launched investigative unit – and that the move had a personal twist. 'Well here we go. I've switched channels. But also in a way – I've come full circle,' Hitchcock began. 'I grew up watching my father on Channel Ten News every night. I had a bunk bed with Eyewitness News stickers all over it – and can still sing the theme song.' He added: 'So I'm delighted to start work here today – joining the network to help with its plans for the future.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He also shared a throwback photo of his father, veteran Ten journalist Kevin Hitchcock, sporting a classic 1980s moustache and captioned it with some amusing words: 'Not sure I could pull one of those off – but there's still time.' The move comes just days after The Australian reported that Hitchcock, along with 7News Sydney's Bill Hogan and award-winning former foreign correspondent Amelia Brace, had all resigned from Seven to join Ten. The trio are believed to have signed on to front a new current affairs program backed by Ten's head of news, Martin White. Brace and Hitchcock left Seven's Sydney newsroom within hours of quitting and began work at Ten on Monday. Hogan is expected to start in three weeks. The departures fuel speculation that Ten is preparing to launch a prime-time news magazine show to take on Nine's 60 Minutes, Seven's Spotlight, and ABC's Four Corners. Industry sources say the new program will focus on long-form investigative stories and is currently assembling what's been described as a 'crack team' of reporters and producers. A Ten spokesperson confirmed the shake-up to Daily Mail Australia, saying: 'Following the continued growth and success of our news brand, 10 News, we are investing in an investigative unit that will work on long-form stories.' For Hitchcock, the move comes just three months after returning to Seven following a break from TV journalism to live on a catamaran with his wife Mari and their young children. He had originally helped launch Spotlight in 2019 and led the network's coverage of major crime and current affairs stories, including last year's Who Killed Marea? documentary on Sky News. Despite his short return to Seven, Hitchcock appears ready to dive back into serious reporting at Ten – and has called on viewers to help feed him stories. 'To everyone who keeps sending me stories to look into – keep them coming. I read every message,' he wrote. Ten's new current affairs program is expected to launch later this year. Hitchcock departs only three months after having returned to Seven after a couple of years off living on a catamaran with his young family. 'I'm back. It's time to wash some of the salt out - and get back to what I do best,' he wrote on social media.

Walmart and Target workers are sharing pics of price increases amid Trump's trade war
Workers at Walmart and Target have been sharing evidence of price hikes that they believe to be caused by Donald Trump's tariffs. Since announcing his "Liberation Day" import taxes at the start of April, Trump has repeatedly raged at companies not to raise their prices — including Walmart, Ford, and Mattel. "Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices," he posted last month. "Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, 'EAT THE TARIFFS,' and not charge valued customers ANYTHING. I'll be watching, and so will your customers!" But on Reddit boards dedicated to the two U.S. retail giants, eagle-eyed workers have also been tracking the situation. "I work in Toys and we had about 600 price changes in the last couple days... EVERYTHING went up," one user posted last week. "Most things went up $4, but the bigger toys like RCs and hover boards jumped a whole $40-50. It's f***ing crazy." Another said: "I work apparel and we've had to start tearing off the parts on the price tags where they had the original price, 'cause majority went up $5-$10 more." One photo posted by a Walmart worker early May showed a toddler's ring-stacking toy increasing from $5.88 to $19.97 — a 240 percent increase. The toy is currently listed online for $8.23. Meanwhile, a Target worker uploaded a snap of them replacing the $9.99 tag on a six-foot phone charging cable with a new tag for $17.99, jacking up its price by 80 per cent. Other examples reported by Business Insider and Buzzfeed News, posted by both workers and customers, showed a dinosaur toy rising 38 percent from $39.92 to $55; a fishing reel jumping 45 percent from $57.37 to $83.26; a tablet computer climbing 23 percent from $79 to $97; and a roll of tape more than doubling from $4.24 to $9.94. Both Walmart and Target executives have warned that they might soon have to raise prices due to Trump's tariffs on imported goods, which make it more expensive for companies to source products or components from other countries. "We're wired for everyday low prices, but the magnitude of these increases is more than any retailer can absorb," Walmart's chief financial officer told CNBC last month. It's not clear whether either retailer is raising prices systematically across the board, and inflation figures for April showed little impact from Trump's tariffs. The Independent has asked Walmart and Target for comment. Retailers regularly change prices for all kinds of reasons, such as seasonal sales, temporary supply chain glitches, extreme weather due to global warming, or simple errors. Nevertheless, many store workers on Reddit said they were seeing unusual numbers of price changes in their departments — a labor-intensive process for stores that have not implemented electronic price displays, since every label must be replaced by hand. "Tons of price changes today," reported one Walmart worker in April. "It's been like that since the tariff stuff started," another replied. "Been doing price change everyday for the past four months or so, and seeing everything going up all at once is really making me sad," said a Target worker in late May. "I just feel terrible putting all these ridiculously high prices up." Some shared screenshots purportedly from their companies' internal apps, or photos of the giant stacks of tags they were sorting through, claiming there had been thousands or even tens of thousands of changes at their store. "What the actual F?" posted one Walmart worker in late April, alongside a screenshot showing 5,000 price changes that day alone.
