Celebrities seem to look like they’re always wearing the most stylish pieces. For those of us that tend to look to the stars for fashion inspiration, it may be a little hard to find work appropriate outfits when we’re influenced by the red carpet. If you’re trying to maintain a balance between fashionable and professional, use your favorite celebs for outfit ideas to uphold that “office chic” vibe.
If you’re in need of some fashion advice, Cupid’s here to save the day with some red carpet looks you can rock at the office!
1. Wide-legged trousers:Â Hailing from the ’70s, these kinds of pants are making a comeback — especially in the office. Stars like Alessandra Ambrosio and Vanessa Hudgens have been seen rocking wide-legged trousers, making them totally celeb-approved. Pair these pants with a tucked-in blouse or button down and you’ll look both stylish and professional when walking around the office.
2. Blazers:Â Once seen as a strictly-professional piece, blazers have actually been spotted more and more on the red carpet. With the right shape, blazers can completely transform a rather casual outfit into a work-friendly look. Kim Kardashian and Jessica Alba are two celebs that have been spotted wearing blazers numerous times throughout the years.

3. Pencil Skirts:Â Similarly to blazers, pencil skirts were assumed to only be worn at work at a point — but celebrities and their stylists have been putting a stop to that assumption. Stars like Jamie Chung, Blake Lively and Miranda Kerr have expressed their love for this waist-cinching piece. Rock a pencil skirt by tucking in a flowey button down and you’ll be good to go for the day!
4. Matching Sets:Â A modern take on the power suit (made famous by Hillary Clinton, of course) is perfect for the office. Plus, if you’re running late for work, matching sets are perfect — all you have to do is find a pair of shoes that work! Victoria Beckham is notorious for rocking matching sets, whether it be when she’s working or just taking a stroll with her family.

5. A-Line Skirts:Â Skirts are an incredibly versatile piece that can be worn for nearly any occasion, but A-Line skirts are particularly great for the office. The best part about picking up a few of these skirts are all the different ways you can wear them. You can make several stylish outfits with the same skirt, just by switching up the top, accessories and shoes. As long as it’s a proper length, A-Line skirts are a crucial wardrobe piece for any working woman’s closet.
