10 Celebrities Show Us How to Wear Overalls Like an Adult

For maximum effect with minimal effort, stand out by layering a bright knit under a dark pair of overalls, like Cate Blanchett when she gave an eyeful with her orange long-sleeve top and inky slim-fit one-piece. 

A pair of overalls reads innocent. Copy Olivia Palermo and harden them with a pair that is cut from a tough material, like black leather, and add edgy accessories (think: mesh pumps and chain-link jewelry).

Eschew convention and swap denim for an elevated, slinkier fabric. Then take it to the next step, like Zendaya, and commit to one shade for an elegant effect.

A striped oversize scarf, a siren-red carryall, and cool patent boots combined takes Emma Roberts's otherwise laidback outfit to a whole new level.

Take a cue from Kate Bosworth and channel the '70s with flared overalls, a woven tote, and suede stacked heels.

Leave it to Gwen Stefani to deliver her signature punk-rock edge. She styled hers with a white tank underneath a cuffed pair and finished with wedged bright blue sneaks.

Beyonce layered a chambray shirt under her overalls—and at one point, probably also shrugged on a denim jacket. Admittedly, tripling up on denim is definitely harder to pull off, but if you're up for it, look for pieces in varied washes and then step into high-shine shoes for a cool kick.

SJP nailed that effortlessly chic aesthetic she's known for when she styled her slim-fit overalls with an extra-oversize white shirt that hung off one shoulder.

Who says overalls can't be sexy? Taylor Swift took on Manhattan in distressed overalls layered over a white crop top that revealed glimpses of her abs.

Take a tonal approach for an incredibly sleek look, like Olivia Culpo who forewent color altogether by styling her ivory Elizabeth and James overalls with an optic white long-sleeve tee underneath, a two-tone tote, tortoiseshell sunnies, and white pumps.
