Celebrity-inspired glam tips every woman in business can borrow

Presence is power, and a woman in business knows it. Sure, success stems from strategy and substance, but there’s no denying the quiet authority of a perfectly tailored look, a gleaming updo, or a crimson swipe of lipstick. It gives off a polished and poised look, and when you look confident, you definitely feel it, too. The A-listers know it and don’t hesitate to flaunt it. Here’s how you can weave in some of their signature looks into your personal style:

Hailey Bieber’s slicked-back bun  

While a smooth, slicked-back bun is minimal, in the hands of Hailey Bieber, it becomes a statement of discipline and authority. Its appeal lies in its duality: minimal effort, maximal impact. It’s the kind of neat look that suggests a no-nonsense attitude, that can be softened by chic accessories. Use a lightweight serum or gel to tame those flyaways, and you’ve got yourself a clean and commanding look.

Taylor Swift’s red lip   

Few beauty statements have endured the way Taylor Swift’s red lip has. Instantly synonymous with her, it’s armour and artistry rolled into one. Psychologically, red signifies courage and confidence, traits perfect for women at the helm of leadership. Make this strategic yet seductive detail your own by finding your perfect red: from marsala to cherry, the options are endlessly versatile.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ power dressing 

   
Priyanka Chopra Jonas blends glamour with business-savvy style like no other. Her attention to detail transforms sharp dressing into a statement of elegance. From tailored blazers to sharp silhouettes, take a leaf from her book to turn classic office attire like blazers into a declaration of strength. Coupled with a confident posture like hers, this look is about precision and personality in equal measure.

Kendall Jenner’s minimal makeup 

When you’re running on caffeine and adrenaline, you may not have the time to do a full face of makeup in the morning. Fret not, for fresh, luminous skin, groomed brows, and a hint of mascara like Kendall Jenner’s minimal routine creates a look that’s approachable and versatile. It also communicates confidence without distraction, which is as perfect for presentations as it is for power lunches. Focus on skincare-first prep. A sheer foundation or tinted moisturiser, a dab of natural-pink blush, and mascara are all you need.

Amal Clooney’s striking stilettoes 

Amal Clooney brings an alluring combination of intellect and impeccable style to every appearance. Proving that she’s always put-together from head to toe, her glossy hair and subtle contour vie for equal attention with her stiletto game. To channel her energy of dressing and grooming like a woman who’s always ten steps ahead, a killer pair of heels will instantly amp up your style. A sleek heel elevates posture, and when paired with sharp tailoring, can make the boardroom feel like a runway. Invest in classic pairs of pointed stilettos in black patent and nude beige—peep-toe is especially chic—to carry you from meetings to evening events without missing a beat. 

In today’s ever-evolving landscape of ambition and aesthetics, style is no longer a distraction from substance; it’s an extension of it. So take a cue from the icons and choose wisely. Introduce your wardrobe to a signature style, and make it your daily act of self-definition. Confidence is the most stylish accessory, after all.
