Elegance abounds in TV shows these days and it shows in the manner of attire that is used for females in various roles. The modern-day housewife role is almost gone from many shows, while the powerful, self-assured roles that women have taken instead allow them to radiate authority, passion for the craft, and a sense of unique style that is becoming the norm. Each woman on this list has gone through a very noted transition throughout their careers and have been seen in many different ways. As of now however there is no denying their authority on screen nor the fact that they are among the best dressed women on TV.
In 2017 the role of women in television is very much being established as powerful and elegant all in one stunning package.
5. Robin Wright – House of Cards
No matter if she’s addressing the American people or going out for a jog the first lady is always stylish in this series. In fact it is seen that she almost never has anything but a pleasing ensemble on at any time other than when she is in bed. Claire Underwood is a classy, very professional-looking woman that knows the value of looking good and providing a classy profile to the people so that they might see that she is all business.
4. Jessica Lange-Feud
In most of her roles Jessica Lange has almost always been classy in some way. Very few times has she ever been seen in anything frumpy or otherwise tacky or tasteless. Some could argue that point from her role in American Horror Story: Freak Show, but in truth she was as classy there as she could be given what she had to work with and the character she was playing. In this show however it is class all the way without reservation.
3. Kerry Washington-Scandal
Kerry is the type of person that can make almost anything look good. You slip her in a t-shirt and jeans she’d look amazing. But put her in a business suit and she looks absolutely stunning as well as strong and confident. That is the look that a lot of women are trying to go for these days and it works. The more pride you take in your appearance sometimes the more likely it is that others will take you seriously.
2. Christine Baranski-The Good Fight
Christine has done elegance and she has done trashy in her long career. It’s safe to say that elegance just seems to suit her a lot better. She’s the type of actress you kind of want to see in something fine and that fits her figure simply because she is one of the classier and more refined women in Hollywood that seems to perform that much better when the attire is suited to her needs.
1. Taraji P. Henson-Empire
This woman is absolutely on fire with her career right now. If you ever saw Hustle & Flow you might not recognize her from there to here. She’s played some truly memorable roles but as Cookie she is coming out strong, confident, and more than ready to take on the world. Taraji has come a long way from her debut, and is showing no signs of stopping in the near future.
It’s more than just clothing that makes a woman shine on screen, but the right clothes do in fact help to give them the needed class at times.
