Smarten up your style in a tailored suit like Evan
She's starring in the new movie, Into The Forrest, and for the premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, Evan Rachel Wood was decked out in an outfit by Gucci.
Pulled from the Fall collection, the talented actress sported an androgynous look when she wore this tailored pantsuit and a ruffled silk blouse underneath. A pair of pointy toe heels finished off her ensemble.
When it comes to work wear, you can't go wrong with a smart blazer and fitted trousers. Take your look from day to evening like Evan with a top in a vivid color (we love this magenta hue) and some stilettos.

Revealing: The 28-year-old actress opened about up about battling with 'biphobia'
The social media monologue began after she posted several quotes from the Human Rights Campaign regarding discrimination toward bisexuals not only by outsiders, but also within the community itself.
She even added her own opinion in the middle of citing the HRC as she wrote: 'Bisexual people are the largest single group within the LGBT community, yet we are hardly recognized.'
Then things began to heat up as a young follower on the microblog questioned if she still was bisexual after splitting with ex-husband Jamie Bell, whom she shares a young son with.

Point being, its ok. We do exist.
Don't let anyone make you feel unworthy.
No one knows your journey but you.

The Across The Universe star replied: 'Actually I am divorced with a son and no matter who I am with I am #stillbisexual @ZipporahMorgan.'
She goes on to explain that though she occasionally gets accused of having 'straight privilege,' it pales in comparision to the biphobia, meaning aversion toward bisexuals or bisexual people, she receives.
She elaborated: 'I have battled with myself most of my life because I wasn't gay or straight enough. I used to think I would never be happy. #biphobia'
Loved up: The talented actress has been spending plenty of time with musician Andy Tongren as of late, as they were pictured jetting out of Toronto International Airport on Sunday
Former flame?: Evan has yet to have a publicised relationship with a woman, but was romantically-linked to Ray Donovan and The L Word actress Katherine Moennig (pictured at an event in LA back in May) last year
Moving on: She was married to actor Jamie Bell but the pair split last year, they share a son together
Evan went onto explain the other hardships she has endured while dealing with her sexuality as she wrote: 'I had to go through the same panic and shame and depression a lot of people in the LGBT community go through but when I came out a new found shame took over. Bi-shame. Feeling like people are judging you all over again but for different reasons.'
The beauty originally from North Carolina admitted that there is a sense of relief in the community as of late but she feels as though they always have to prove themselves and their worth.
She ended the series of posts with an inspirational message to her fellow bisexuals as she said: 'Point being, its ok. We do exist. Don't let anyone make you feel unworthy. No one knows your journey but you. #BisexualAwareness'
The Wrestler actress has been seen spending plenty of time with musician Andy Tongren as they were last spotted jetting together from Toronto International Airport on Sunday.
