We've got every reason to channel our favorite power women when we're off to work or headed to an event, so why not extend the inspiration to Halloween? This year, we're giving up the sexy pirate for a stylish look that's much more modest. Here, you'll find 10 iconic ladies who make us want to slip into wrap dresses, sophisticated pumps, and coats, all to impress onlookers. The bonus is, these costumes don't just work for one night; you can wear them year round. Anna Wintour would approve, even if you choose to be Hillary Clinton or Amal Clooney instead of the Vogue editor herself.
1 Michelle Obama
Michelle tends toward wrap dresses, like this Naeem Khan design, that are almost always printed with splashy florals.
2 Kate Middleton
Kate's go-to look will always be a coat dress. Just like she chose a pale yellow Emilia Wickstead number in the early Spring, she rotates her designs based on the season.
3 Amal Clooney
Though Amal tries out plenty of dazzling little dresses when she hits the red carpet, we think about her going to work in a sophisticated pinstripe suit like this one. She'll always add a poppy twist. Here, she sported a leopard lining in her Dolce & Gabbana blazer.
4 Queen Rania
Queen Rania loves a midi or maxi that comes with structure. She shows off her curves by tightening a belt around her waist and always accessorizes with a designer bag or another trendy piece. She's one of the most fashionable power women in the game.
5 Hillary Clinton
Though Hillary has stayed mute in black or white in the past, we think of her most easily in a vibrant suit like this one. While the Democratic nominee's separates are sleek, they're cozy and functional too.
6 Angelina Jolie
There's always something graceful about Angelina's most polished looks. Here, she swept a cashmere shawl around her gray fit-and-flare dress, accessorizing as per usual with a designer bag.
7 Victoria Beckham
Trust Victoria to step out in coordinates she designed herself. Lately, she's been catering toward the lady on the go who prefers a longer skirt with movement. No matter what, Victoria always finishes her outfit with dark sunglasses and either pumps or a polished loafer.
8 Princess Mary
Princess Mary consistently seizes the opportunity to show off a favorite designer piece, even when on business. You'll find her in flattering vests and coats, glamorous dresses, or a polished pant, and then, of course, an iconic heel like the Valentino Rockstud.
9 Emma Watson
The girl definitely knows how to steal the show in the simplest of outfits. Emma is one of the most modest dressers, sticking to what's comfortable (say a turtleneck or an oversize sweater), but there's always a unique twist. Here, she styled pieces from eco-friendly brand Zady and wore eye-catching Proenza Schouler shoes.
10 Anna Wintour
There's just no print Anna Wintour won't try once, which makes her a fitting style representative. Regardless of which designer she's wearing, from Michael Kors to Dior to Gucci, she always finishes her outfit with a jeweled necklace and those signature shades.
