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.
