Sharon Stone's chic tailored two-piece just made a case for bringing back this timeless pattern
A monochromatic look never fails to impress


When it comes to looking sharp, few ensembles beat a well-crafted suit, and Sharon Stone's recent 'borrowed-from-the-boys' outfit gave a nod to the ever-growing tailoring aesthetic that dominated spring/summer fashion trends for 2025, and it's set to continue into fall and beyond.
Stepping out in a timeless, monochromatic houndstooth two-piece, the star looked polished but relaxed in a buttoned-up, double-breasted blazer and slim-leg tailored pants. Appearing to wear nothing underneath, the A-list actress opted for a short, square diamond necklace to accentuate her neckline and polished black brogue-esque boots to complete her look. Adding a contrasting color, Stone selected a cherry red handbag to soften her outfit.
A long-line, double-breasted blazer has the potential to overwhelm an ensemble, but by selecting slim leg pants, Sharon Stone balances her outfit with ease. The red purse is a great way of adding a directional twist, and the color combination of black, white and red is exceptionally powerful, delivering an almost retro feel.
