4 Photogenic Outfits Celebs Over 40 Always Wear

Looking great in photos isn't just about your pose or how much or little you smile or which direction you tilt your head. All of these things are certainly factors, but your outfit can be equally as important. You probably know by now that some things that look great IRL just don't translate in photos. And in the age of Instagram that we live in, that's a bit of a shame (you never know when your 'fit will be documented).

So why look to celebs over age 40 for their photogenic outfit secrets? Well, many of them have been trolled by paparazzi and walking red carpets for years, so they undoubtedly know what works and what doesn't work, and there are plenty of photos to prove it. Below, you'll find 4 of those highly photogenic outfits that we see them wear time and time again. They're not complicated and they don't require an entirely new wardrobe, so scroll away. (Sidenote: They all involve heels, but it's your feet—Wear whatever shoes you want.) 

A dress and heels isn't exactly groundbreaking, but celebs over 40 adore wearing the combination with a coat. It adds interest and polish to the simple look.

On Sarah Jesssica Parker: Ulla Johnson coat; Emilia Wickstead dress; Wolford tights
WHO: Naomie Harris
WHO: Anna Wintour

If you want a no-brainer outfit that always looks good on camera, a suit (whether pants or skirt) is always a safe bet, and can easily be spiced up with accessories.

WHO: Cindy Crawford
On Kerry Washington: Armani suit
On Jennifer Lopez: Alex Perry coat, top, and pants
+ Straight Suit Trousers ($60)

You probably wear this outfit a lot anyway, and it happens to look great in photos. The beauty of this combination is that you can wear it with any style of jeans (or blazer, for that matter), and it also is just as successful with trousers.

On Katie Holmes: Chanel jacket and bag; Re/Done Heritage Cotton Classic Tee ($62); Jimmy Choo Ivy 85 Heels ($675)
On Jennifer Aniston: Chanel bag
On Penelope Cruz: Chanel bag; Paige Genevieve Flare Jeans ($229)

A mini dress and heels has always been (and always will be) a celeb favorite, especially on the red carpet, which is the ultimate test of just how photogenic an outfit is. (As you can see, this one succeeds with flying colors.)

On Gwyneth Paltrow: G. Label blazer; Jimmy Choo shoes
On Halle Berry: Zuhair Murad dress
On Reese Witherspoon: Alexander McQueen dress; Saint Laurent shoes

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
