Elizabeth Olsen at the Oscars Afterparty 2012

See-through was another prominent trend at this year's Oscars afterparties, and we loved the way Elizabeth Olsen did it in Christian Dior. What made this look so standout was the bottom half — the skirt is subtly sheer with just enough texture to make it pop. Black maxi skirts have been hot for a while now, but why not let Elizabeth inspire you to take your maxi to the next level? And by that we mean giving it some texture via ruffles and pleats, and interesting details like sheer or tiers. The key to mastering this look is to keep the rest of your outfit super sleek. Perhaps a black or white tee and minimal accessories. To get you started, we've handpicked our favorite textured black maxi skirts, so start shopping below!
