Updated on April 29th, 2025

It’s refreshing to come across a celebrity whose on and off-air personas are consistent, poised, and polished. News anchor, journalist, and author, Katie Couric is known for her classic and age-appropriate style. She’s also proved that professional attire doesn’t have to be stuffy and boring.

Whether she’s asking the hard-hitting questions or working it on the red carpet, Katie’s a wardrobe role model for all ages.

4 basics for Katie Couric style

To dupe Couric’s style in her heyday, you need these pieces for your wardrobe: chic suiting, sheath dresses, novelty coats, and classic pumps.

1. Chic suiting

You don’t always find her in a basic blazer, but when you do, it’s the best tailored blazer you’ve ever seen. Katie likes breaks the mold of traditional workwear and suiting by playing up fun silhouettes and textures. Tweeds, silks, and belted waist lines are all in Katie’s regular rotation.

2. Sheath dresses

Mastering the right amount of skin to show can be a challenge for any age. Katie handles it with grace, sticking to sleeveless, mid-length, sheath dresses that compliment her figure without baring it all.

The sheath dress can be one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe arsenal, so be sure to invest in a quality version of the silhouette.

3. Novelty coats

Coats can be yet another expression of personality. For Katie, that’s about keeping it crisp and lady-like. Just like her hemlines, she’s a fan of mid-length coats that step in as the perfect polish to pull a look together.

Lightweight coats can be one of the easiest layering pieces for spring, so use them to top off sleeveless dresses on breezy days.
