The first fur in the film is not worn by Aretha but by Dinah Washington (Mary J. Blige), who gives Aretha some friendly not-so-friendly advice when she tries to sing one of Dinah's songs early in her career.

While none of the furs in the film are given much screen time, the large white fox stole is given some proper… respect.

Up next is slightly-more-successful Aretha and a very brief appearance with a blue fox fur coat. 

Again, cinema proves incapable of sustaining the raw power of blue fox fur on the silver screen. Here is pretty much all of it.

Naturally, the designer got the “dark fur in a dark scene” note and chose this dark brown coat to accompany a scene shot in a dimly lit hotel lobby. No fancy hotel lobby would be this poorly lit, but, “cinema,” I guess.

The best shot fur coat seen in the film is worn during an interview, and it is this full-length coyote fur coat.

I suspect this is based on an actual event. However, the sheer amount of Aretha Franklin media on the internet makes finding any footage for comparison problematic. (Translation: I tried to Google it, and it took too long to find it.)

There's a blink-and-you-'ll-miss-it spotted item shot in near-total darkness. Again, cinema. 

Finally, the film closes out the fur fashion with a brief appearance of a full-length chinchilla coat.

She simply walks in wearing it and takes it off. And here I thought I didn't review adult movies on this blog…
