A new fashion trend is taking the world by storm, and you’ll never guess what it is.

According to MailOnline, twentysomethings call it “mob wife” style, and it’s all about flaunting luxury fashion finds. Think fur coats, leather, leopard prints, and lots of gold.

The trend is so popular that the director of “The Godfather,” Francis Ford Coppola, decided to comment on it.

“I hear the ‘mob wife aesthetic’ is making a come back… The inspiration for the style of @diane_keaton’s character Kay was my wonderful wife Eleanor. On the other hand, the style of Talia Shire’s character. Connie Corleone, was a sultry, delightful Italian princess,” he captioned images of the two characters.

Some TIkTokkers are speculating that the trend is popping up just in time for the 25th anniversary of the mob-style show, “The Sopranos,” debut, The New York Times reports. According to the publication, HBO spokesperson Jason Mulderig took no credit for it.
