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.
