Olivia Palermo Tops a Sequin Jacket Over Basics Perfectly

Olivia Palermo confirmed that light denim, usually reserved for more casual looks, can also work on the red carpet when she styled hers with a sparkling sequin blazer at the HBO premiere of Girls. The fashion-forward beauty layered her gray sequin French Connection topper over a white silk blouse and cuffed denim skinnies, then slid on a pair of colorful cap-toe Giambattista Valli pumps for instant glam. Glistening diamond stud earrings, a gold caged bracelet, and a blue ostrich Dior bag rounded out her polished look perfectly. To dress up your light denim, style it with a sequin jacket like Olivia did, or work your blazer with dark denim for a less casual approach to this fabulous look.

How to Dress Up Your Tank Dress à la Jennifer Lawrence

It wasn't sequins or any ornately embellished dress that caught our attention, but when Jennifer Lawrence stepped out in NYC last night, we couldn't help but take note of her simple, yet sexy tank dress.

It wasn't sequins or any ornately embellished dress that caught our attention, but when Jennifer Lawrence stepped out in NYC last night, we couldn't help but take note of her simple, yet sexy tank dress. The Altuzarra dress Miss Lawrence chose for her appearance on David Letterman was styled up with a few key accessories, making it a perfect how-to in dressing up any other little dress with the same tank dress silhouette and body-con fit.

The key is choosing a tank dress that flatters your shape. Balance out your bottom half with a scoop neck, or flaunt your toned lower half in a shorter hemline. In any case, any added shape-wear underneath your dress will help to sculpt and slim your frame if you choose.
While a tank dress isn't exactly typical event wear, Jennifer elevates hers — and defines her waist — with a sleek leather belt in a complimentary color.
Lastly, do as Jennifer does and go for leg-elongating platforms, heels, or wedges. Forgoing the flats with help dress you up, and give you a longer line from head-to-toe, making you appear taller and thinner.

At last night's Hugo Boss party, Chloë Sevigny gave us a spunkier take on preppy wear. We love her spin on a blazer ($120) and button-down in crisp white on white, but it's her own cheeky footwear for Opening Ceremony ($395) and socks combo that sweetens the style. It's equal parts girlie, modern, and sexy-cool. Just click the pieces above to shop a similar look.
