Leave it to Blake Lively to make a classic, polished trend a bit more sexy.
The actress, who always nails the elegant-yet-sultry look, stepped out in a velvet pantsuit on Friday in New York City. She combined a Brunello Cucinelli burgundy velvet tuxedo jacket on top of another topper in crushed velvet teal blue with matching wide-leg pants (a good trick to keep extra warm once temperatures drop and inject a double dose of color).
The jewel-toned ensemble gives off a fall-centric vibe, but peek closer and you'll see the 30-year-old blonde ditched a shirt to wear underneath (gasp!). It's undoubtedly a daring sartorial move, but we're into how the sliver of skin adds a touch of sexy edge and effortless flair to the well-covered, put-together outfit in a tasteful manner. Plus, it keeps her cool in the sweltering NYC heat.
She completed the getup with a navy leather duffle, hoop earrings, Christian Louboutin studded T-strap pumps and her signature perfectly messy, long wavy tresses.
Although omitting a layering piece underneath during the day isn't the most practical IRL, it could work for the evening with a buttoned blazer for those who are seeking some thrill.
