If you’ve spent any time on TikTok as of late, you’ll be aware of the Office Siren movement taking workspaces by storm.
The trend is less about HR approval and more about turning the boardroom into your personal catwalk. Think slinky pencil skirts, barely-buttoned blouses, and heels that clack louder than your ambition. After all, who who says corporate can’t be coquettish?
Several celebrities have toyed with the term. Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber are in the midst of a skinny sunglasses craze, while Billie Eilish and Maisie Williams rarely pass up the opportunity to debut a tailored ensemble with a touch of flair.

Directed by Halina Reijn, the film centres a high-powered CEO, who risks her career and family as she embarks on a passionate, forbidden affair with a much younger intern played by Harris Dickinson.
