Cozy up in Chloe's Drome coat for winter

At the dewy young age of 18, Chloe already seems to have the kindness and wisdom of an old soul. But we're here to talk about fashion! And that is why we just cannot waist another minute without addressing this TA- DIE for fur coat.

It's by Italian label, "DROMe"--known for their elegant work in leather, but more recently DROMe has ventured into the beautiful world of furs and thus we have Chloe here in a chic, charcoal lambskin coat on the cover of Nylon.

The collarless, relaxed shape of the coat is spot on with the groovy 1960's trends we've been seeing all over the high street and with winter weather in full effect, we can't think of anything more perfect.

Chloë is the sole daughter in a family of four brothers, which also includes Brandon and Ethan Moretz.

The actress is clearly tight-knit with her family, and has even recruited Trevor to become her acting coach.

Watching her brothers Trevor and Colin bullied for their sexual orientation was tough on the young actress.

'The problem is we live in a society where we have to say the words, "I'm coming out,"' she told the magazine. 

'No one should care what your sexual orientation is, what color your skin is, or if you're a man or a woman. People would call them the F-word, and I would get so angry. It was really hard to see my brothers be hated on or bullied, so I stood up for them. 

'We shouldn't be using these terms to create more labels and segregate us further apart than we already are. At a young age, I was motivated to fight for gay rights, women's rights, minority rights- all human rights,' she said.

Chloë also explained how being raised by her single mother Teri molded her to be a feminist from 'birth'.

'My mom was a single mom, so I've been a feminist since birth,' she said. 'I think feminism is about strong women being who they want to be and fighting for equality on all accounts. 

'It's not about men being demolished to bring women higher up in the world. I think that's incredibly misconstrued.'

The rising star will next be seen in the upcoming film Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, and Chloë assured Nylon that the supportive atmosphere on set allowed women to speak freely should they ever feel uncomfortable.

'If any of the women ever feel there's something inappropriate, we speak up, and they will never push the boundaries with us - they've been really respectful,' Chloë said of co-star Seth Rogen and director Nicholas Stroller.

Chloë's strong sense of self shone through in her artistic and riveting photo shoot for the magazine.

In one image, the actress bared her belly while wearing a thick black coat, slouchy jeans, and a white top that exposed her torso. 

She also sat atop a stool while donning high-waist trousers, a black bandeau with a gold chain lining, and a multi-coloured jacket. 

At just 18, Chloë already has a laundry list of prominent roles under her belt, including Kick-Ass, 500 Days Of Summer, Dark Shadows, and last summer's If I Stay.

The star has clearly made an impact in popular culture, and landed on Time Magazine's list of 25 Most Influential Teens in 2014.

Her film Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is now in post-production and scheduled for release in 2016.

She will also star as real-life journalist Susannah Cahalan in the upcoming film Brain On Fire, which chronicles the writer as she struggles with a rare auto-immune condition that caused violent episodes and delusions. 

The film is scheduled for release in 2016.
