The “Iron Lady”, a.k.a. Meryl Streep, definitely loves scarves. She may not wear the extra all the time like Jessica Alba, but she definitely knows when to wear one. While attending premieres for her movie during the past couple of months, Meryl was spotted wearing our favorite accessory more than a few times. Check out the way the acclaimed actress wore her scarves below:

Not bad, yes? She looks elegant as always. But we love the way she put together looks 1 and 4 (as seen above). The printed scarf over a printed blouse was a risky move but she toned it down with the black coat. And as for the fourth pic, need we explain why we think it’s the best?

She simply looks amazing there. Using a grey scarf to liven up an all-black ensemble was good but predictable. HOWEVER, choosing one with a silvery accent to mix with the leather trimmed black coat was completely genius!

And because we love that particular combo so much, we’ve decided to feature some metallic scarves for today’s entry.  Check out our choices below and pick a favorite:

You have to attend a cocktail event after work but you don’t have the luxury to go home and change outfits. What do you do? Well, you actually don’t have to do a lot. Simply wear an all black ensemble for work, maybe an LBD under a blazer, then bring this Armani Collezioni Sequined Scarf with you.

Yup, this piece of fabric is all you will need to look fabulous in that evening gathering. As you can see, it is covered in sequins to give your classic black dress a dose of drama, and up your look a million times. Of course, do make sure you’re wearing the right pair of shoes as well. Your pointy stilettos from work will do, but if you’re not feeling lazy, you can also change into some sexy strappy sandals. Oh, and don’t forget to bring a clutch!

The Armani Collezioni Sequined Scarf retails at a pricey USD425. If you can afford it, go right ahead and make your purchase at SAKS. Enjoy!
