At a recent Jill Stuart fashion show in New York City, Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr rocked an effortlessly sexy look, perfect for a hot date or a night out with the girls. She layered a trench coat over a white mini cutout dress, then finished off with two standout accessories – a black clutch and red hot peep-toe stilettos for a burst of color. With her side-swept bangs and smoky eye makeup, Jessica was the epitome of that last minute, thrown-together look so many women hope to achieve. It’s easier than you think to steal Jessica’s sassy style as long as you own a few key pieces from her wardrobe!

Jessica’s mini dress with sheer black cutouts is by designer Jill Stuart, but you can opt for a simpler and far more affordable one like this New York & Company frock. Its sleek silhouette and sweetheart neckline are flattering, while subtle metallic accents give it a boost of glamour.

Banana Republic’s nylon trench ($130) is the perfect shade of brown – they call it root beer float! Like Jessica’s, this trench is classic and lightweight, ideal for layering over a dress at night or pairing with a more casual weekend outfit.

Take a cue from Jess by pairing your outfit with a basic black clutch. This super affordable version by Converse ($16.99) features zippers, braided straps, and several compartments, combining function and fashion!

Finally, Jessica’s look just isn’t complete without those stilettos! A pair of lipstick-red heels, like these flirty Nine West peep toe platforms ($49.47), offer the perfect finishing touch.

If the Gossip you’ve heard is that Blake Lively is a girl who knows her fashion, you can bet the rumors are true!

No doubt the outfit shown here is a pretty fantastic combo of elegant-meets-rocker-girl-glam, but don’t let the leather leggings discourage you; if you sub out the cow pants for cotton, this is a great outfit for day that you can easily take with you to happy hour. If you dress it up with some snazzy, sparkly accessories, I dare say you might be able to sport this look all the way past the dinner hour.

So how do you do like lady Lively? Read on!

Blake’s jacket is by SMYTHE and available at shopbop for $550. If you’re looking for something a little less spendy, you might take a look at these boyfriend blazers, instead:

Definitely a "Necessary Object!"

This very similar boyfriend jacket from Necessary Objects retails for $58 at Nordstrom:

Or you might be interested in Banana Republic’s version for $130. It’s a little more streamlined and a tad more grown-up-ish than the jr’s version pictured.

Want to take the plunge into some hot, hot, hot leather leggings? Alice + Olivia makes a pair that makes me swoon. These babies go for $698.

But as luck would have it, Victoria’s Secret has a remarkably adorable pair ON SALE NOW AT BESO for $208.

But if leather ain’t your bag, there is plenty you can do with a tried-and-true pair of black cotton leggings, instead. Take this pair from Juicy, for example:

Pair with a lightweight white tee shirt, and  some killer black high heels (boots would work, too!) like either of these:
