Oh, Miranda. While never quite as effortlessly stylish as her pals, there was something admirable about her ball-busting, nononsense power suits. Who else could make partner at her maledominated firm and still hit the town for Cosmos with the girls? Ellen could probably make a potato sack look on-trend, but she really sparkled in her girly blouses, mod-cut coats and demure silk dresses on Damages. She even stole a scene or two from the icy Glenn Close, an Emmy-deserving feat if there ever was one. Harvey Specter wears the hell out of a tailored suit, making it look as much a part of his body as his smirk. His style choices on Suits veer toward the subtly bold: peak lapels, thick-striped ties and dashing three-piece suits. No wonder this guy always closes.
