Why it Works: Kelly Ripa's Boho Blouse

Photos by FameFlynetPictures

Host of Live with Kelly and one of the Hollywood Reporter's "most powerful people in media," Kelly Ripa is pretty much the head cheerleader of daytime TV—with an on-camera wardrobe that leans toward all things leg-baring (power heels included), to match. Off-screen the vibe may be more casual, but it still masterfully toes the line between aspirational and relatable, as illustrated by Ripa's latest summery look.

The Shirt: An homage to Carrie's see-through-shirt-with-black-bra-SATC-years, Ripa's blousy, threadbare top has a Dirty Dancing nostalgia to it, and its semi-transparency balances its modest shape with an undercover sex appeal. 

The Shorts: They're short alright, the better to play up the diminutive blonde's best assets. The faded checked pattern further elongates Ripa's toned physique, almost blending with her tan.

The Accessories: A surprise dose of sunlight in an otherwise muted outfit, Ripa's turquoise and canary yellow necklace ticks the "something cheery" box; Her worn-in leather mailbag and mirrored aviators add a cool, intrepid reporter-in-the-field mystique.
