8 Shiv Roy Outfits That Epitomize Quiet Luxury

You don't have to be a billionaire to dress the part.

Since Succession’s premiere in June 2018, articles dissecting Siobhan Roy's enviable outfits have been consumed with as much frequency as episode recaps. Top-tier brands like Tom Ford and Max Mara have made it into viewers' closets—or at least onto their vision boards—as they epitomize Shiv's particular brand of quiet luxury.

Portrayed by Sarah Snook, Shiv Roy’s style exemplifies the adage “money talks, wealth whispers.” As the only daughter of billionaire media scion Logan Roy, Shiv sports the most elevated wardrobe on a set where over-the-top luxury abounds. Throughout the show's four seasons, her personal style evolves along with her character—often reflecting her emotional state and hierarchy within her duplicitous, power-hungry family. Favoring contemporary labels like The Row and Monse, Shiv gravitates towards halter necklines, jewel tones, suiting separates, and minimalist jewelry.

But for those of us who don't have Roy family funds (or feuds), how, exactly, can we use her as inspo? In this case, quiet luxury is a catchall for a brand of minimalism rather than a particular price point. Consider these questions before your next purchase: Is it made of quality materials? Does it fit properly? Can you wear it multiple ways? Those are the requirements for stealth wealth attire — no matter the cost.

Below, we round up eight of the best Shiv Roy outfits that appear throughout the hit HBO series.

S4E3: Connor’s Wedding

Shiv is in full power-suiting mode this season, even at her brother Connor’s wedding. Note the tuxedo-inspired lapels, gold padlock, and halter neck chain paired with her everyday diamond studs and emerald green Thierry Lasry sunglasses. The whole thing perfectly complements Snook’s undone strawberry blonde hair.

S4E2: Rehearsal

Simply put, suiting, well, suits Shiv. A fitted jacket with matching plants and a silky blouse are as close to uniform dressing as it gets for a woman vying to cement her position at the top of the corporate ladder and maintain order amidst a crumbling relationship. 

S4E1: The Munsters

The season 4 premiere had fans gawking at Shiv’s relatively drab suit with silk drawstring trousers. Although it wasn't her most standout look, we must admit: Pairing flowy pants with a top-shelf quality suit jacket is a power move.

S3E8: Chiantishire

<p>Warner Bros.</p>

Warner Bros.

Vacationing in Tuscany looks good on Siobhan, right? In this episode, she embraces a more colorful palate that demands the viewer's attention as her personal life begins to unravel. Her romantic floral halter dress says, “Look at me,” while also serving as a distraction from what’s really going on behind the scenes in her marriage. Again, wealth whispers…

S3E7: Too Much Birthday

<p>Warner Bros.</p>

Sarah Snook looks incredible in all things emerald green. The hue is perfect with her coloring, but also conveys so much about who Shiv is as an individual. To state the obvious, the entire Roy family is obsessed with money and envious of one another, and the costume department leans in on this motif by having Kendall and Shiv wear green during this episode. And, while the Monse dress worn to her brother’s birthday bash is unquestionably flattering—honestly, Shiv’s never looked better—it also speaks volumes about the power struggles at play.

S3E4: Lion in the Meadow

An important element of quiet luxury is knowing when to splurge versus when to save. Case in point, Shiv’s maroon silk top. It’s a versatile layering piece that can work well under suit jackets or on its own with trousers, as shown here. Instead, her gold fob necklace, timepiece, and diamond stud earrings do the heavy lifting.

S3E1: Secession

Now this is what it looks like to travel in style—and no, we’re not just talking about the private jet. Shiv breezes past your average business-class commuter in this summer suit with a subtle pattern, cream knit top, and classic Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses.

S2E2: Vaulter

<p>Warner Bros.</p>

Warner Bros.

The turtleneck that launched a thousand think pieces debuted in season two of Succession. Shiv Roy abandons the ill-fitting Fair Isle knits and corduroy pants that comprised her wardrobe in season one in favor of the more corporate “businesswoman special” that she grows into throughout the rest of the series. Paired with plaid paper-bag waist trousers and her signature delicate jewelry, this scene will forever be known as the moment Shiv’s quiet luxury aesthetic entered the chat. Oh yeah, she also gets a great new haircut.
