8 Basic Autumn Outfits Our Favourite Over-40 Celebrities Are Wearing

Many of us use autumn as a time for a wardrobe reset and to revisit the classics, such as a muted colour palette and back-to-school basics. In this way, celebrities are just like us, as we've noticed many stars leaning on a classic capsule, wearing boots, simple cashmere and blazers.

Tracee Ellis Ross showed that monochrome looks can have a big impact when paired with bold shoes, and Victoria Beckham seems to agree. Amal Clooney took two wardrobe staples and added some glitz to create a sleek evening look that couldn't be easier to replicate. You'll see just how versatile a classic black blazer can be with different stylings from Katie Holmes, Amal Clooney and Kate Moss.
