The most flawless fancy-night ensembles consist of two pieces: a silk camisole and a luxe skirt that somehow come together to suggest they're a dress. When Olivia Palermo showed up to the 7th Annual DVF Style Awards [1], hosted at the United Nations, she was wearing just that [2]. It's almost impossible to tell her look consists of separates. Her mixed-media tank is tucked into her sequined midi just right, and her asymmetrical hem mirrors her crisscross neckline.
While Olivia's been known to come up with quite a few hacks [3] on her own, we can't give her full credit for this move. After all, both of her pieces are by Diane von Furstenberg. But when accessorized with a smart clutch, stunning diamond choker, and peep-toe pumps that offer major sex appeal, the outfit is signature Olivia [4]. Lucky for us, we can shop her exact Frederica top along with plenty of similar skirts now. Just read on to get inspired, then scoop up the not-so-basic basics.
