Season after season, no matter how many new trends there happen to be, there’s always one look that sticks around: suiting. Of course, fashion is naturally cyclical—it’s why Y2K fashion is back and thriving, and miniskirts have made a triumphant return. I can’t lie and say that suits are some groundbreaking trend, however, it’s clear that through looking at S/S 22 and A/W 22 collections, they certainly aren’t boring. And I know I’m not the only one who thinks so, as it's every celeb's go-to look.
I can’t recall a past red carpet outfit or a street-style moment that didn’t include a celebrity rocking a suit. This look in all its forms (from matching sets to single blazers) is the beloved staple that we just can’t ditch. And really, do we want to? Suiting always manages to toy the line perfectly between timeless and trendy, feminine and masculine, functional and fashionable. But if you’re not sold on the power of great suiting, keep reading—I’ve rounded up 15 suit outfit ideas from celebrities. You can consider these looks a lesson plan in how to wear a suit while incorporating some of spring’s biggest trends.
WHO: Zendaya Coleman
WHAT: Pertegaz look
Ahh, Zendaya, is it even a roundup of stylish celebrities without her? While she’s never one to shy away from serving a look, this suit number is a personal favorite. Embracing suiting is so much better when you’re pairing it with other major trends of the moment like bright colors and short hemlines. Just make sure you balance out the look by opting for a higher neckline and classic shoes.
Shop the look:
WHO: Dua Lipa
WHAT: Dion Lee Leather Single Link Bra ($472) and matching pants; Hannah Jewett Puddle Play Earrings ($250); Givenchy Mini Cut-Out Leather Bag ($2055)
Oftentimes when we think of suiting, it very much fits inside a nicely tailored box of everything matching. But style icons like Dua Lipa have shown you can spice up a suit by pairing it with more risqué pieces. Simply take that tie-up bra top and matching pants and style it with a blazer in a matching hue for a night out. You’ll be levitating in this look.
Shop the look:
WHO: Gabrielle Union
WHAT: Christopher John Rogers Plaid and Stripe Wool Suit Jacket ($1995), Combination Wide-Leg Trousers ($1375), and Slit-Sleeves Dotted Shirt ($1650)
What better way to spice up your little black suit than by injecting some color this season? With so many bright hues dominating S/S 22 collections, all you have to do is pick a color and go for it. And if you want to lean into it, then take a cue from Gabrielle Union and mix a subtly printed suit with a colorful blouse and pumps for a look that’s bolder than ever.
Shop the look:
WHO: Bella Hadid
WHAT: Kiko Kostadinov suit; Dion Lee Cut-Out Interlock Tank Top ($330); Dilara Findikoglu Boleyn Necklace ($221)
As usual, Bella Hadid serves up a street-style moment worth replicating at home. Pair your printed suit with a simple cutout tank, layer on the jewelry, and a fun pair of sunglasses, and you’ll feel like you’re a supermodel too.
Shop the look:
WHO: Cardi B
WHAT: Casablanca suit
One of the easiest ways to make suiting feel fresh for spring is by playing with color blocking like Cardi B. Don’t be afraid to embrace your drip by pairing contrasting colors into your suit, it will scream money.
Shop the look:
WHO: Sydney Sweeney
WHAT: Balmain
A tweed suit on Sydney Sweeney? I’m about it. While tweed suits have been around for a while, opting for a set with a miniskirt and finishing off the look with a pair of knee-high boots is hot, hot, hot.
Shop the look:
WHO: Beyoncé
WHAT: Louis Vuitton Cyclone sunglasses; Ivy Park x Adidas suit, bra, and sneakers
If anyone can make a dressed-down suit still feel like a moment, it’s Beyoncé. While we may never attain queen status, replicating this suit ensemble is easy. Pair your favorite printed sports bra with a printed suit and sneakers, and you’ll look like you woke up that fabulous.
Shop the look:
WHO: Kourtney Kardashian
WHAT: Paul Joe suit
Waistcoats have been bubbling up as a micro-trend for a hot minute now, but we recommend replicating this look from Kourtney Kardashian if you want to take this trend to a whole new level. Simply opt for a vest with matching low-rise trousers in a bright saturated hue to make this suiting staple stand out.
Shop the look:
WHO: Tessa Thompson
WHAT: David Koma
If you don’t want to get too matchy-matchy with your suiting this spring, then remember that you can always style your go-to blazer with another piece. I’m personally trying to replicate this look from Tessa Thompson by pairing a minidress with a saffron blazer for the perfect day-to-night look.
Shop the look:
WHO: Rosalía
WHAT: Thom Browne suit; Versace Intrico Platform Loafers ($1425)
Who said all your suits had to have trousers? This matching Thom Browne look on Rosalía is the perfect example of making a skirt suit work. Simply opt for a matching set (printed or otherwise) and pair it with a tank and some platforms for a chic spring ensemble.
Shop the look:
WHO: Normani
WHAT: Off-White
Who said suits couldn’t have a wild side? If celebrities like Normani have taught us anything, it’s that the suit can be sultry. Simply take a cue from some of spring’s most prominent trends and pair a leather blazer with a matching miniskirt and knee-high boots.
Shop the look:
WHO: Megan Fox
WHAT: Roberta Einer suit; Femme sandals; Forbitches bag
What’s better than a suit? A leather suit. What’s better than a leather suit? A printed leather suit. And what’s better than a printed leather suit? Megan Fox in one, of course. If you were looking for a fresh way to style your suits this spring, consider your query solved.
Shop the look:
WHO: Chlöe Bailey
WHAT: D&G suit; Amina Muaddi pumps
When thinking about suiting, you have to remember that the best way to style a suit lies in the details. It’s all about texture, color, and layering. No look better displays this than this all-pink look from Chlöe Bailey. Simply pick a color you love or a statement fabric like tweed, sequins, or moiré and let the suit do the rest of the work for you.

WHO: Priyanka Chopra
WHAT: Jennifer Fisher Law Hoop Earrings; Sergio Hudson Crepé Blazer ($1595) and pants; Jimmy Choo pumps
You’ve made it to the end and hopefully found ample inspiration on how to style your suit for the spring.

This look is a reminder that a crisp monochromatic suit in the season’s hottest color will always stun.
