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.

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.

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'

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.

She has had quite an interesting dating past as she has previously been romantically linked to Marilyn Manson, Shane West and Alexander Skarsgard. 

Evan has not had a high-profile relationship with a woman yet, but was rumoured to be dating Ray Donovan and The L Word actress Katherine Moennig last year.

She could next be seen starring alongside Ellen Page in drama Into The Forrest, which was first screened at the Toronto International Film Festival over the weekend.
