Suit Up


Olivia Wilde in vintage Gucci

Give that New Year’s Eve party dress a rest and opt for a chic tuxedo instead. Here, 10 variations on the trend—straight from the red carpet.

1

Add a feminine touch with sparkling Christian Louboutin sandals and a sultry smoky eye à la the Spanish actress Nieves Alvarez in Dsquared2.

Go the Rihanna route (shown here in Stella McCartney) by swapping pants for sheer stockings. Add a cool diamond choker, and a sleek pair of sandals. Bonus points for a chest tattoo and unexpected neon mani.

It’s men’s wear—own it. Channel the model-turned-actress Aymeline Valade in Saint Laurent and accessorize with a bow tie and brogues.

An undone tie and soft curls are clever ways to steal Angelina Jolie’s sex appeal.

5

Steal the show (and be comfortable, too) by suiting up with an unexpected pair of running shoes like Cara Delevingne. Bonus points for Kate Moss arm candy.

As Olivia Wilde shows, a true classic never goes out of style. Clean silhouette? Check. Red lipstick? Check. Crisp white blouse? Um, optional.

Take a cue from Lorde and pair a blown-out silhouette with slick, straight hair.

An oversized suit is party-ready with a sleek sandal and a teased ‘do. Just ask Solange.

No shirt? No problem. In an Altuzarra suit, the “Inherent Vice” star Katherine Waterston proves less is more.

You (and Emma Watson) can’t go wrong with a classic Saint Laurent suit.
