We’re all about boss ladies whose personal style and workplace décor is even more polished than their résumés. But if you’re thinking that means sterile cubicles and a mundane office uniform, think again. In honor of National Boss Day, we’re celebrating three of our favorite celebs who are redefining what it means to be a power player, dresser, and decorator.

The Gig
This actress-turned-CEO launched her lifestyle and shopping site, Draper James, to honor her Southern heritage. The one thing she doesn’t sell? Anything black.
The Outfit
For a day at the office, she’s known for coordinating preppy separates with a twist. Get her look by opting for girly details – like floral embellishments and lace – to dress up otherwise-classic pieces.

A sunny disposition translates into her workplace aesthetic, too. Think: traditional furniture in a bright white finish and coastal-inspired accessories for a (coordinated) pop of color.

The Gig
This A-lister went from internationally known actress to founder of The Honest Company, a billion-dollar brand dedicated to making organic and eco-friendly products.
The Outfit
When it comes to dressing professionally, she looks to an of-the-moment midi hemline. Emulate her style by mixing youthful pieces, like a pretty lace skirt and edgy studded booties. They’ll keep things fun and casual rather than feeling too serious or corporate.
The Office
Her trendy and eclectic fashion sense is echoed at The Honest Company’s LA headquarters, which is brimming with unexpected statement furniture. Steal her look for yourself with a cowhide chair and a bright red desk.

The Gig
This former Spice Girl went from wearing the latest styles to designing them when she launched her namesake clothing line in 2008. Her designs reflect her posh aesthetic, and everyone from It girls to fashion editors is obsessed.
The Outfit
Borrowed from the boys, her boss-lady style is all about menswear-inspired separates. Stick to a sleek and simple aesthetic with a crisp blouse and flared trousers. Then look to subtle details, like contrasting cuffs and pinstripe pants, for that effortless element of cool she’s famous for.
The Office
Minimalist décor is very much a reflection of her personal fashion choices. In her South East London office, she opts for uber-modern furniture in a monochromatic palette. Try chrome accessories, acrylic furniture, and clean lines in your own workspace.
