Style Icon: Olivia Pope

I associate Olivia Pope on the television show "Scandal" with two material items: her white coat and her giant, giant wine glass.

You know she's classy because she never spills the red wine on the white coats. Pardon her troubled expression, Olivia Pope goes through a lot on that show, but she always handles it. It's handled!

I was totally obsessed with the first few seasons of the show, but I think it's recently jumped the shark. Still: I love the character of Olivia Pope. She is strong and competent, smart and beautiful. She also has a great, clean, minimalist, fabulous signature look.

I mean, that lady wears a lot of white coats.

And sometimes a white hat. Because she's a good guy. Usually. Mostly.

I mean, let's be honest, she's a Washington insider who (really-early-in-the-show spoiler alert!) once fixed an election. So really there's a lot of gray in Olivia Pope. But not in her coats. Nope. Not in her coats.
