Women In Suits
-
Charlize Theron
This atomic blonde crushes on the red carpet consistently. Her ability to wear a suit like it's a slinky dress is why she didn't just make this list, she topped it.

Janelle Monáe
Janelle Monáe is a bombshell and a fiery hot leading lady who knows that menswear is simply womenswear once she puts it on. Monáe killed on the Vanity Fair Oscar party red carpet when she wore this crimson power suit with a train. Because, obviously, the only thing missing from a suit is the dress portion, which can obviously be added.

Nicole Kidman
Menswear doesn't need to be drab. Nicole Kidman proves this by pairing a hot pink dress shirt with a black pantsuit. Societally, we've given the suit the label of menswear, but when styled appropriately, it's a genderless, timeless classic.

Evan Rachel Wood
Evan Rachel Wood should be one of the first names that pops into your head when you think of women who rock menswear. Time and again, the Westworld actress slayed the red carpet by individualizing three-piece pantsuits and making them her own.

This Hollywood power player has been playing up the suit life since well before it was chic. Here's a photo of Julia at the Mirror Mirror premiere in Los Angeles in 2012, proving that what's missing from menswear is obviously women.

Rihanna
It's likely Rihanna is the "Only Girl In The World" you'd want to walk a red carpet with. Her ever-evolving sense of style gives her the ability to switch between personas without sacrificing style.

Kim Kardashian
The woman famous for nothing absolutely knows how to utilize a pantsuit. Here, Kardashian keeps it simple with an oversized suit sans dress shirt. This makes the entire look sexy, but effortless, which is exactly what we wish this Kardashian was most of the time.

Sharon Stone
Sharon Stone is so inherently sexy she figured out how to make the suit her own a long time ago. Instead of focusing on a dress shirt, she individualized a sexy black suit with a silk camisole and a pink fur stole. Is that fur real or fake? What is obviously real is Stone's ability to make you see her instead of the suit.
