Style File: Olivia Pope

Olivia Pope's power suits on Scandal are more than enough to keep us tuning in, but throw in her collection of coats and we're hooked!
By Celia L. Smith · Updated October 27, 2020
01
Haute Hat

Olivia’s white suits are more than just a fashion statement, according to Kerry they’re a “symbol of justice.” Here Pope is “wearing the white hat,” a fabulous felt fedora style channeling menswear-chic.

Suit Up

Before white-on-white was a major trend, Pope was all over it. Here, she dons a chic pleated blazer, white draped blouse and metal strung pearls for a modern-meets-classic touch.

Wild Side

Olivia Pope is no stranger to a pretty pastel palette as well. This Max Mara croc embossed shift dress and matching collarless jacket was a chic nod to Jackie-O and we loved it!

Girl Power

This light pink Escada suit was the perfect marriage of a strong, tailored silhouette in a super feminine shade.

05
Fancy Pants

“Olivia wears the pants, literally and figuratively,” Kerry Washington stated in a recent interview. And while Ms. Pope is a power house in them, she always find a way to keep it sophisticated and sexy, especially in this crisp shade of camel.

Fall Tones

Detail Oriented

It’s all about the details with Olivia Pope and we’re paying attention to every bit of it in this Escada pleated cream blazer.

Chic Pleats

More pleats please! Again, Pope rocks a simple statement-making blazer with origami pleats we’d steal and wear to the office on any given day.

Clean Lines

In this instance, Pope is feeling grey –– and so are we! This minimal slate suit simply pinned gives office dressing new life.

Top Coat

Olivia Pope’s winter white style isn’t limited to suits and pants, this woman-on-the-move kills it in a Tory Burch trench coat that’s a much hotter version than the casual khaki style we all own.

Runway Ready

A sneek peak of season 3 finds Pope clad in a Burberry style. An even fiercer upgrade to her white trench.

Classic

This Ann Demeulemeester double-breasted jacket had us going gaga! Olivia Pope takes the classic pea-coat and gives it an epic transformation in her go-to shade of white.

Coat Couture

We’re just as speechless as Pope! This Gucci coat had all the bells and whistles, enough said.

Fully Covered

This Max Mara cropped sleeve coat called for glamorous arms-length leather gloves, Olivia Pope always has a chic solution.

Nude Girl

Keeping it classic, Pope wears a button-front Burberry Prorsum coat in a nude shade over a Glen plaid Ralph Lauren dress. We have to admit Olivia Pope keeps it chic no matter the crisis.

Sweet Style

One our favorite coats from Olivia Pope’s wardrobe was this pretty Armani peplum style. It showed a softer side of her looks which typically pack a lot of punch.

Stylish Reign

When Pope opted for a classic khaki trench, you better believe it was anything but basic. Pretty pleats fancied up this casual rain coat style.

Coveted Coat

If we had to choose one coat to add to our closet from Pope’s wardrobe, it would be this Salvatore Ferragamo cream pearl cashmere style. It’s dreamy drape design is absolutely stunning and confirms that she is indeed the most stylish woman on TV.
