Claire Danes took to the red carpet in a stylish monochrome suit at the Sophie's Choice 40th anniversary screening on Tuesday (6 February).

Known for her elegant fashion choices, Claire looked gorgeous in her all-black outfit, which featured a flattering tie waist detail and 80s style shoulder pads.

To style her suit, the American actress wore a slinky silk vest underneath her suit, paired with matching ankle boots and a slouchy black handbag.

However to give her look a rock chick feel, Claire elevated her outfit with a gold chunky chain and opted for a statement dark red lipstick.

While many of us may associate suits with workwear, Claire's iconic red carpet take on this monochrome fit has made us see a black suit in a new light.

A black suit is an investment piece that we believe can be dressed up or down or worn separately.

To dress up your black suit this season, simply team with a stylish cami and add some red heels or flats and a red bag for an on-trend finish.

Or wear it separately or together with a relaxed white t-shirt and white trainers for a casual-chic office fit.

This isn't the only actress we've spotted in a suit recently. Meryl Streep wore a glamorous white suit with sheer sequin embellishment and white feathered cuffs when presenting on stage at The Grammy Awards on Sunday (4 February).

The oversized blazer mixed with the sophisticated straight leg trousers offered the well-known Devil Wears Prada actress a flattering silhouette.

To accessorise her look, Meryl added a pair of dramatic chandelier earrings and Wayfarer-style glasses.

We're loving the red carpet suit looks right now.
