The Top 7 Most Influential Celebrity Power Dressers

Gone are Sienna Miller’s bohemian babe days. The actress’s cool, grown-up new look comes at a time of career reinvention and new motherhood. Even her wavy bob screams “power.” Everything is coming together for Miller, and it shows.

Jessica Alba, a busy mom, actress, and CEO, is an expert at melding her feminine sensibilities with that of a stylish professional. A lover of color and print, she combines silky trousers and fitted blazers on the regular, creating a signature power-dressing look for herself.

Fact: Nobody commands a stage, or room for that matter, like J.Lo. Her powerful looks run the gamut from sexy to #bosslady and everything in between. Her unwavering confidence says it all.

Charlize Theron has been a major player in the power-dressing game for perhaps her entire career. A fan of minimalistic shapes and neutral hues, the actress often opts for strong looks make a statement—whether she’s on the red carpet or off.

One of our favorite celebs for date-night and airport-dressing inspiration, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is also a stellar power dresser (even on dates and at the airport!). The supermodel and actress proves that it’s possible to dress like a cool girl and a powerful woman at the same time.

Coming in a close second, Amal Clooney has been winning our hearts as of late. The It woman (you just can’t refer to her as girl) has class and accessible style for days. Her night-out and workday outfits are always appropriate and sleek, but still have a touch of fun.

Often donning pieces from her own line, Victoria Beckham is a veteran of the power dressing game at this point. In fact, some might argue that she helped to create it (ahem, Posh Spice). A big aspect of power dressing is wearing the hues and styles that help you to exude confidence, i.e. a vibrant red hue, a structured satchel, or a perfect-fitting blazer. Beckham often seamlessly incorporates these elements into her looks. No matter where she’s headed, she looks like she could conduct an important business meeting at any given moment—the ultimate goal of a power dresser in our opinion.
