Emily Blunt
We can always count on the British beauty for a wearable, polished look. A monochrome outfit never fails to look chic, and we love the olive green outfit topped off with a timeless camel coat. A red bag adds a punch of color to a neutral palette.

Victoria Beckham
When it comes to pantsuits, Posh Spice is the queen, but don't expect to catch her in the typical corporate set. Opt for an oversized silhouette and wide-leg, floor-grazing trousers like the fashion designer for a cooler, relaxed result that doesn't sacrifice professionalism. A ruffle-neck blouse lends a touch of romance to the borrowed-from-the-boys vibe.

Team a dark sweater with a multicolored, striped skirt accessorized with neon hoop earrings and a trendy white daytime heel.

Who says you can't have fun with office attire? For those who aren't afraid of color, we dare you to try this eye-catching look from the supermodel. A fashion-forward take on the coordinating set, the blonde dressed up a T-shirt with a blazer and front-slit pant in two varying shades of red and ankle-strap heels. It's bold but still elevated for you to run a meeting in.

Regina King
We mean it when we say this is the easiest work outfit formula: a turtleneck worn under a dress. The layering step provides coverage and makes a sleeveless frock more appropriate for the office. The If Beale Street Could Talk actress styled it with boots, a more comfortable alternative to heels.
