You've probably seen China's first lady, Peng Liyuan, before. Standing alongside Kate Middleton or Michelle Obama at a state affair, she's hard to miss.

Let's just say she's been working Olivia Palermo-level styling tricks for quite some time.

While the 54-year-old politician (and contemporary folk singer!) doesn't routinely release details on her outfits, it's safe to say she's a woman with a smart sense of fashion, sticking to her sophisticated uniform of blazers, brooches, and dainty clutches - all of which she coordinates with gorgeous silk gowns.

With each appearance she makes, Peng Liyuan soars higher on our list of style icons. Read on for 50 solid reasons.
