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.

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.

The Grown-ish star consistently convinces us to introduce more color to our daily outfits with her bright, youthful style. Can't commit to head-to-toe color, but still want to wear a vibrant shade? Team a dark sweater with a multicolored, striped skirt accessorized with neon hoop earrings and a trendy white daytime heel.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley 

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.
