Dress for the job you want? If thats the case, one might wonder what the stars are trying to tell us with their embrace of big shoulders and skirt-suits that seem more fitting for the boardroom than an off-duty afternoon.

Miley Cyrus is the latest in a slew of celebs opting for power dressing outfits, defined by exaggerated shoulders and sharp tailored cuts. Among her several statement-making outfits in Paris this week, the singer was photographed wearing a Saint Laurent look that some took to be a nod to the maximalist style of the 1980s. Referencing the shoulder pads and oversized jackets embraced by the office-dwelling men and women of the era, Dazed called the outfit Reagan realness, while one Instagram user asked: Are the trading room floors from Reagan-era America in the room with us (?)

Embrace of the power dressing style can be seen as a way of asserting confidence and coping in a turbulent world. The trend also carries a sense of nostalgia, particularly for its heyday in the 1980s, when shoulder pads and clothing with strong silhouettes became a way for women to project authority and success in the workplace.

The head-to-toe Saint Laurent outfit was a far cry from Cyrus usual aesthetic, which tends to favor lower necklines and cut-out designs. Cinched below the waist with an orange leather belt, her oversized, wide-shouldered leather jacket was the centerpiece. She completed her color-blocked ensemble with a red lambskin pencil skirt and green leather gloves, styled with sheer tights and spindly stiletto heels.

Also spotted in Paris and embracing an oversized silhouette was Kendall Jenner, who wearing a white scoop neck tunic and billowing black trousers looked like a walking lookbook for The Row, the brand by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, whose minimalistic designs are frequently worn by the model. (In Jenners hand was the labels $5,600 Marlo bag, which she has been toting around since the roomy style debuted last month.)

In another universe she runs an art gallery where you trust everything she says, was one social media users take on the look, which was enhanced by Jenners summer-friendly bob. The short hair has itself become a mainstay in power-dressing. It is perhaps best epitomized by Leslie Bibbs iconic cut, made famous by the latest season of The White Lotus. Bibbs bob has lent itself well to power suiting, leaving her shoulders on full display to model boxy blazers and dramatic overcoats.

Another advocate of the office-friendly style is Daisy Edgar-Jones who sported smart, minimalist styles during her On Swift Horses press tour in April. That included a gray wool skirt-suit gray pumps and rectangular sunglasses. The monochrome look came straight off Calvin Kleins fall-winter 2025 runway, which marked creative directors Veronica Leoni debut for the label. Although gray-on-gray sounds like it ought to belong to the depths of uninspired office fashion, Edgar-Jones looked fresh and fuss-free.

The actress also wore a more daring take on the trend in an ensemble from Shanghai-based label Shushu/Tongs spring-summer 2025 collection. Despite being conservative in length, the pencil skirt appeared to have its zip intentionally undone at the waist, revealing another layer of fabric underneath. It was paired with a cropped navy V-neck bustier top with a white collar.

It takes a lot of confidence to show up to work in a cropped sweater and with your zipper seemingly undone. But if Cyrus, Jenner and Edgar-Jones are anything to go by in this new age of power dressing, perhaps these daring styles hold the key to getting what you want.

She looks like a character in a video game where you end up wearing mismatched items because of their power levels or special abilities.

Why is her shirt twice the size of her skirt? lmao the SHOULDER PADS even!
And her hands coming down to the bottom of the literal uncurved hourglass shape makes it look like her crotch is way down between her thighs. I've never seen somebody accomplish the sagging illusion with a SHIRT

What she dressing for? PS1 graphic clerk?

(in all seriousness, I think power dressing is disrespectful to the people who actually do work in those professions and it makes you look like a wannabe loser.)

Celebrities wearing weird shit is a new trend?

Yes. It can increase your chances of getting the job if the interviewer sees how much you want it.
