"Ride on one's coattails" = cưỡi trên áo đuôi tôm của -> nghĩa là hưởng lợi từ thành công/thành quả của người khác; dùng thành quả của người khác làm phương tiện để đạt được mục đích của bản thân.

Ví dụ
Rose Matafeo is a member of snort and she won the big comedy prize this year and we want to ride on coattails to the top.

Jamie also pointed out that Corinne doesn’t ride on his coattails, saying, “Even when we did our TV show ‘Beat Shazam,’ she went in there and got that on her own.” “I’m just happy about this, happy to see her, what’s she’s doing,” Foxx emphasized (nhấn mạnh). “To see this, watching our little ones picking it up and doing their thing!”

I just don’t want people to think I’m trying to ride on his coattails, so I’ve always tried to do my own thing. I want to be known as Suki Webster, not 'The Wife Of', and it’s important to me as an independent (độc lập) woman that I remain just that.
