Often donning pieces from her own line, Victoria Beckham is a veteran of the power dressing game at this point. In fact, some might argue that she helped to create it (ahem, Posh Spice). A big aspect of power dressing is wearing the hues and styles that help you to exude confidence, i.e. a vibrant red hue, a structured satchel, or a perfect-fitting blazer. Beckham often seamlessly incorporates these elements into her looks. No matter where she’s headed, she looks like she could conduct an important business meeting at any given moment—the ultimate goal of a power dresser in our opinion.
