Lawyer and activist (and Mrs George Clooney) Amal knows how to make her workwear stand out. Like her, be a bit daring and jazz up a colour block dress with some printed statement heels.

Charlize Theron

If your office is a little more casual, try combining a grey T-shirt with a blazer and leather trousers. We like actress Charlize Theron's smart trainers, but if that’s not dressy enough, wear flats.

Gwyneth Paltrow demonstrates that a smart pencil skirt and heels are a great way to smarten up a slogan T-shirt for work.

Don’t assume grey and black are the only options for work. Cobalt blue is a great way to add some colour to your work wardrobe without going too crazy. We also love how Helen Mirren accessorises her dress with some statement jewellery.

Victoria Beckham

When it’s cold outside, a shirt and skirt don’t always cut it. We love Victoria Beckham’s solution: a wool skirt, slouchy jumper and suede boots.
