However, that was only the first suiting moment Turner-Smith has prepared for the day. While leaving the show, the actor wore a double-breasted gray blazer and matching trousers crafted from gingham-printed tweed. Her second set showed a more neutral take on power suiting, though it made a statement nonetheless through its rich texture and graphic patterns. A maroon silk neck scarf, narrow sunglasses, and glossy dark blue pumps added bright hints of color to the look, smoothly framing its sharp silhouette.

With recent red carpet looks ranging from a punchy cone bra to futuristic computer-covered couture, the actor’s never shied away from eye-catching ensembles. In short, if there’s anyone who understands power dressing, it would certainly be her. Plus, with just over a week until The Agency’s second season premieres on Paramount+, this is surely just the start of her stylish sartorial outings.
