The Signature Cream Trench Coat
Olivia rocked a Tory Burch white trench throughout season 1, which quickly became one of her signature staples. Check out this similar Merona style ($59.99, Target.com).
The Requisite Stunning, Flowy Evening Gown
State dinners and other flashy, black-tie affairs on the Hill require some seriously formal gowns, which Olivia has a penchant for wearing in cream or white. (Remember this vintage stunner from season 2, episode 8's "Happy Birthday, Mr. President"?) One way to get the look: J.Crew's Nadia long dress in silk chiffon ($365, JCrew.com).
The Gloves!
Even Vera Wang said Paolo singlehandedly "brought back gloves" when Paolo put Max Mara gloves on Olivia in season 2. These similar vintage white leather gloves from FlyingaNYC ($25, Etsy.com) are sure to do the trick!
The Beautiful Open Back Gown
Look as stunning as Olivia at the state dinner from season 1 in this gorgeous silk number from Contrarian, part of Shopbop's ONE by collection ($425, Shopbop.com).
The Black Lace Overlay Pencil Dress
This Warehouse Lace Overlay Pencil Dress ($92.55, ASOS.com) is almost exactly like a recent look Paolo chose for Olivia.
The Cream Blazer
Something tells me this perfectly fitted dinner-jacket style blazer in crêpe fabric without buttons from H&M ($34.95, HM.com) would be right at home in Olivia's closet.
Graceful Go-To Top
For a polished daytime look, pair a graceful shell like this one from LOFT ($39.50, Loft.com) with a white blazer, and you're good to go!
The Gray Blazer
Let's not forget that a chic mate for cream is gray, which Olivia tends to wear plenty of, as well! Check out this checked gray blazer from Zara ($119, zara.com).
Gray Tweed Sheath
Speaking of gray, why not try it in a timeless and uber-feminine tweed sheath dress ($169, AnnTaylor.com) made for Olivia?
The Romantic Blouse
Who says Olivia's all hard lines and edgy cuts? She'd most definitely opt for a romantic chiffon blouse like this one from Calvin Klein ($47.70, Nordstrom.com).
