When it debuted, Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic Le Smoking changed the way that women dressed for evening. As it turns out, it still is: While Hillary Clinton’s pantsuits carry presidential gravitas, it’s the sleek evening tuxedos sported by a pair of A-listers on the red carpet that have us sitting at attention. Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot made waves in a sparkling take on the tuxedo in London yesterday, while earlier today in New York, Julianne Moore stepped out in the season’s new favorite suiting silhouette.
Gadot’s version, from Victoria Beckham, features a hint of metallic shine for a futuristic, fashion-forward touch that’s further amped up by a glittering box clutch from L.K.Bennett and subtle Rupert Sanderson stilettos. Moore’s take at Variety’s Women of Power luncheon was equally classic, if stylistically opposite: The Academy Award winner stunned in a fresh spin on the ’70s-esque suiting spied on the Gucci runways, letting an oversize bow provide a natty touch to her one-button style. Whether it’s worn sultry or straight, the best thing about the evening suit? It’s #girlboss style done right.
