How to Dress Like Petra from Jane the Virgin
If you aren’t already watching Jane the Virgin, I highly recommend you catch up before the show comes to an end. (The last episode is slated for May 22.) Why watch? Not only does the show offer romance (both sweet and, well, smoldering), nail-biting drama, and plenty of laughs, it also features some incredible fashion looks.
We previously covered how to get protagonist Jane Villanueva’s signature style. While I obviously love Jane (she’s basically a saint), one of my favorite characters has to be Petra Solano (played by Yael Grobglas), the manipulative ex-wife of Rafael (the guy whose sperm Jane accidentally gets inseminated with).
Although Petra comes off as an ice-cold, snobby, and conniving rhymes-with-witch (although once you meet her awful mother Magda, you kind of get why she’s the way she is), she’s a very capable businesswoman and turns out to have a vulnerable side. Some of the best comedy in the show arises from how awkward the normally poised Petra becomes when she tries to be nice. On top of all that, Petra’s style is totally killer.

Petra’s Style 101
Petra is often underestimated by other characters, perhaps because her soft, feminine style belies her razor sharp intellect and fierce attitude. She favors classic pieces like sheath dresses and well-tailored blazers, but in pastel or jewel tones and in drapey fabrics that hug her body. She’s also got an impressive collection of rompers and tailored shorts. No matter what, she always looks incredibly polished, with perfectly coiffed hair.
According to WornOnTV, Petra’s wardrobe comes from higher-end brands like Ted Baker, Club Monaco, Vince, French Connection, Cynthia Vincent, and BCBGMaxAzria. Here’s how you can get that Miami millionaire hotelier look without spending like Petra!
