Bioinspired design takes blueprints from nature to replicate functionalities in man‐made materials. In article number 2100156, Salvatore Chiera, Carina Bittner, and Nicolas Vogel demonstrate a double bioinspiration approach that combines the slippery surface of the pitcher plant with the universal adhesion of mussel foot proteins. This strategy yields highly repellent coatings on arbitrary substrates via a simple one‐step process.
