Jacqueline Fernandez looks stunning in this edgy crop top and pants combo

When it comes to hot fashion trends, pantsuits have taken over. Just look at the stylish ladies: Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Mira Rajput Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Sania Mirza and Twinkle Khanna (but more on their style in a bit).

Need more proof that pantsuits are a thing? The always-fashionable Jacqueline Fernandez just wore a red pantsuit, from Mumbai-based label Intrinsic, and pulled it off flawlessly, looking absolutely smoking.

The Sri Lanka-born actor stepped out in Mumbai on Saturday to promote her upcoming film, the Salman Khan-starrer Race 3, and left us in total awe with her fun, perfectly tailored ensemble. Jacqueline packed a punch in her bright separates paired with a lacy hot pink cami top, from New Delhi-based label Silky Bindra (which gave this menswear-inspired attire a bit of a sexy edge). Who knew suits could be so breathable!

Jacqueline’s look was a welcome break from all the head-to-toe blacks and whites. We’re honestly obsessed with her look — it’s the perfect antidote to drab rainy day fashion, and Jacqueline proved it’s surprisingly wearable. But if you’re feeling like a red pantsuit isn’t the look for you, fear not — you can rock the pants or blazer separately and look just as fierce. Like actor Shahid Kapoor’s wife, Mira Rajput Kapoor, who is pregnant with her second child did here and actor Shilpa Shetty Kundra did here.

In the scarlet set, accessorised with matching oversize glasses and nude open-toe heels, Jacqueline showed off her sparkly personality (and fit abs). Besides the ensemble, Jacqueline’s beauty look was just as enviable. Letting the pop of bright colour speak for itself, she wore a matte coral pout, well-groomed eyebrows and radiant skin, with her hair styled in big glossy curls that framed her face.

The powersuit trend has been slowly creeping into the celebrity wardrobe for quite some time, just ask Priyanka Chopra, who stunned in this arrestingly sexy skirt suit. Below are some more women entertainers, who have chosen to don the pantsuit look. Check out their style to add some instant fierceness to your closet:

Actor Sonam Kapoor Ahuja turned a sweet, ladylike pink pantsuit on its head by layering it over a sheer crop top and accessorising with sneakers.Sonam’s low-slung, wide-leg pant and matching structured blazer were thrown over a semi-sheer white crop top for a relaxed-meets-dressy look that was an effortlessly sexy match made in heaven.

Actor Priyanka Chopra arrived at London’s Heathrow Airport looking slick in a plaid pantsuit from Italian fashion designer Alberta Ferretti. A suited and booted Priyanka looked like the epitome of travel chic in her tailored blue and green separates. She completed the bold look with a low-key grey hoodie, pointy-toe denim heels, narrow-framed sunglasses and her hair styled in soft, messy curls. For details, click here.

The silhouette of writer-producer Twinkle Khanna’s boss lady two-piece was form-fitting and clean — a classic, professional style you could probably wear at the office. With a look that screamed ‘sexy and strong’, Twinkle also showed us how a pantsuit doesn’t have to be a perfect match to look amazing. For more on suit looks from Twinkle, click here.

Tennis player Sania Mirza, who is pregnant with her first child, looks ready to tackle winter with professional grace in her black-and-white striped, matching blazer and trouser set by Masala Chai. She breaths new life into the professional-looking ensemble by adding a white crop top. And the black heels are a sassy kick in the pants. For more suit looks from Sania, click here.

Whether you work in a creative environment or in a corporate setting, a simple pantsuit combo is a no-brainer when dressing fancy to work. But there’s more than one way to wear a suit as actor Kareena Kapoor Khan proved with her crisp all-white Prabal Gurung creation. Kareena wore the blazer, which featured ruffled sleeves and a plunging neckline, without a top. Safe to say, we’re a little obsessed with her flared sleeves. For details, click here.

Television personality Malaika Arora kept her classic Ashish N Soni pantsuit interesting by giving it some edge by wearing her blazer with apparently nothing underneath: In case you needed further proof, the 44-year-old is not afraid to show too much skin. The former VJ polished off her sexy look with a rose brooch by Viange and a touch of red lipstick, sleek eyeliner and a simple-yet-stunning low ponytail.For details, click here.
