Michelle Pfeiffer's Most Stunning Suiting Moments

In an industry that's quick to discard aging women, Michelle Pfeiffer is still scoring leading lady roles. Not only did she just star in the 2025 Christmas comedy, "Oh. What. Fun," but Pfeiffer became the face of French fashion house Saint Laurent's Summer 2025 ad campaign. Which, of course, makes perfect sense, because when it comes to women in suits, no one does it quite like Pfeiffer.

As one of the celebrities who's confronting aging with confidence, Pfeiffer has proven time and again that she prefers to do things a little differently. It's not just about her eclectic roles that have made a major impact on pop culture, ranging from Elvira Hancock in 1983's "Scarface," to Sukie Ridgemont in 1987's "Witches of Eastwick," to Catwoman in 1992's "Batman Returns," but it's also her approach to fashion and personal style. While her early years in Hollywood had some outfits that totally missed the mark, as Pfeiffer has gotten older, she's really come into her own, fashionably speaking, by leaning into menswear, looking fabulous in the process.

While CNN's Kaitlan Collins may be the queen of pantsuits, Pfeiffer has proven she's mastered the art of suiting. "I adore a woman in a great suit," Pfeiffer told Harper's Bazaar in 2019, via Morning Stars. Having rocked stunning looks by Saint Laurent, Celine, and Armani, no one can get even close to Pfeiffer's ability to make suits look sexy and fun. Meaning she's also the only suiting inspo you need if you're ready to ditch dresses for something more practical, comfortable, and, of course, far sexier.

When Michelle Pfeiffer attended the premiere of her newest movie, "Oh. What. Fun," in December 2025, she wore an effortlessly chic look by Saint Laurent. As if plucked from Drew Barrymore's closet, who's also in her own suiting era, Pfeiffer's combination of dark gray, wide-leg pleated pants, a light blue and white striped button-down shirt, and an oversized navy blazer was an impeccable choice for the occasion. If this outfit doesn't have you wanting to raid your boyfriend's closet in search of these pieces, then nothing will. Which is fine, because honestly, while anyone can wear a suit, it takes a certain amount of chutzpah to rock one.

Have you ever seen someone so relaxed before plunging their feet and hands into cold cement before? If not, it's probably because they weren't Michelle Pfeiffer in a suit. For the April 2025 ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre, Pfeiffer kept things casual yet sophisticated in a black power suit with an off-white silk blouse underneath. Although Pfeiffer kept her jewelry simple and minimal, she did wear hoop earrings by Briony Raymond, according to her Instagram post from that day. "My favorite accessory is hoop earrings," Pfeiffer told Harper's Bazaar in 2019, via Morning Stars. "I've worn them since I was 12 years old."

In January 2024, Michelle Pfeiffer attended the 2024 Environmental Media Association Awards Gala at Sunset Las Palmas Studios and wore a gorgeous Giorgio Armani suit from the 2019 collection. With her straight blond hair falling over her shoulders and minimal makeup for the clean-girl aesthetic trend, Pfeiffer looked calm, cool, collected, and completely in her element. Seeing Pfeiffer in this stunning white suit tells you everything you need to know about why the long-standing "no white after Labor Day" fashion rule has been completely ditched: white suits like this should get more than three months to be shown off.

Although Michelle Pfeiffer has worn a lot of suits that are worth ogling for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, if not more, her black suit from Celine by Hedi Slimane is in a category all its own. Worn for the April 2022 premiere of Showtime's "The First Lady," in which Pfeiffer plays Betty Ford — and excellently so — the double-breasted waistcoat, cropped pants, and black silk button-down blouse were a flawless choice. Pfeiffer completed the look with black mesh heels and a simple gold chain. While she may have only played a First Lady in the movie, Pfeiffer is certainly rocking First Lady vibes with this timeless look.

When it comes to plaid, especially when the print is on the larger side, less is often more. However, when Michelle Pfeiffer and her partner, David E. Kelley, attended the HBO "Big Little Lies" Season 2 premiere in May 2019, she rocked a suit from the Brunello Cucinelli Spring 2019 collection, and big plaid never looked more chic. With wide-leg, cuffed pants and an oversized matching blazer, this is an unforgettable look. Pfeiffer completed the ensemble with a black silk blouse, black clutch, and black pumps, which were barely visible thanks to her perfectly tailored pants. That's exactly where a hem should fall when wearing such a suit, and you can't achieve this without the universally flattering clothing hack of tailoring.

No matter what you might think of 1983's "Scarface," it's become an undeniable piece of pop culture. Granted, it didn't paint Cuban refugees in the best light, and the lead was played by Italian-American Al Pacino, but its impact is undeniable. Because of this, it only makes sense that 35 years after its release, the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival would host a reunion for the cast and director, Brian De Palma. For the event, Pfeiffer wore a black suit with a black and white pinstripe button-down underneath the blazer — basically something her character, Elvira Hancock, would've never worn in a million years. Pfeiffer completed the look with black heels, layered necklaces, and beachy waves.

Although Michelle Pfeiffer tends to lean toward slouchy, oversized suits, when she attended Go Behind The Scenes with Walt Disney Studios during D23 Expo 2019 at the Anaheim Convention Center in August 2019, she looked very business-like. Not only was the tan-colored suit by The Row very fitted, but the off-white blouse also featured a funnel neck. It's not just a great suit on Pfeiffer, perfectly complementing her skin tone and hair color, but it's also a leap into a more sleek and sophisticated direction.

In May 2017, Michelle Pfeiffer attended the New York premiere of her film, "The Wizard of Lies," and stunned in a black Monse suit. For the occasion, Pfeiffer skipped a blouse, pulling off a topless blazer moment without being too exposed. She completed her outfit with a Judith Leiber clutch and jewelry by Fred Leighton. Considering the movie was about the rise and fall of Bernie Madoff, in which Pfeiffer plays his wife, Ruth Madoff, a bit of bling was definitely called for on the red carpet that night.

Although trying to decide which of Michelle Pfeiffer's suited looks is the best is no easy task, it's safe to say her 'fit by Alexander McQueen is definitely in the top five. Between the black high-waisted, slim-fit pants, the Victorian-style blouse with its high neck, and the phenomenal embroidered jacket, everything about this ensemble was epic. Even Pfeiffer's makeup choices, where she went heavier and darker with the eyeliner, made this the very definition of spectacular. When you attend the 2013 Berlin premiere of your film, "The Family," about a mafia boss and his family hiding in France, of all places, this is the energy you want to bring to the event.
