Ahead, you’ll find elevated ensembles worn by some of the most stylish 40-something celebrities, from Amal Clooney’s polished elegance to Victoria Beckham’s sleek edge. (These women have truly mastered the art of putting together noteworthy looks that feel timeless and sophisticated!) Scroll down to check them all out below, and then go a step further and shop out their looks.
Style Tip: Sport a chic jumpsuit the next time you have a special occasion. When it gets cold, throw a blazer over your shoulders.
Wear this for any occasion, whether it's a black-tie affair or a day at the office.
When you don't want to wear a dress, this chic jumpsuit will be essential for any formal event.
Style Tip: If you need an effortless ensemble, wear a relaxed button-down with loose-fitting jeans.
Style Tip: Create a chic ensemble with a silk-satin shirt and trousers in tonal colors.
Style Tip: If you're having a casual night out, opt for flared jeans and a cool PVC trench coat.
Carry the PVC trend from summer into fall with this stylish coat from Rains.
Style Tip: A cool and unexpected piece to wear is wide-leg leather pants. Pair it with a short-sleeve sweater or T-shirt to keep the look casual.

Style Tip: If you need a quick outfit, opt for a chic printed dress with coordinating shoes.
If you want to dress this robe down, style it with white sneakers.
Let these be the focus of your ensembles and wear them with everyday basics.
