If you haven’t noticed, the suit has officially taken over. From major red carpets events to everyday street style looks, the most stylish women we know have been embracing sleek tailored looks lately. So much so that it’s become clear that pant suits for ladies and women’s suits aren’t just for the boardroom anymore—they’re for nights out, award ceremonies, and anywhere else you might want to exude confidence.
While suiting itself is by no means a new concept, there have been several examples recently where Hollywood’s leading women showed up in sharp tuxedos, tailored pant suits, and oversized blazers, including at the SAG awards, the 7th Annual American Black Film Festival (ABFF) Honors and Saturday Night Live’s 50th Anniversary Special.
Yeah, the suit isn’t just an alternative anymore—it’s the moment.
The Suit Strikes Again
Suits have always been about presence, confidence, and owning your space. From Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic “Le Smoking” tuxedo in 1966 to the bold power suits of the ‘80s, women have long used tailoring to command attention. But in 2025, the suit is no longer just a workplace essential—it’s an effortless, go-to choice for any occasion.
And the stars are proving it. See: Jennifer Lopez, who captioned her recent Instagram post of herself in a sleek chocolate brown suit with the words “business trip.” It’s a good reminder that a power suit travels well—by mix and matching the pieces, you instantly have several outfit combos without needing as much packing space.
