TikTokers like to joke that millennials wore “business casual” outfits to the clubs in the early 2010s, but it’s no laughing matter: we really were out there wearing pencil skirts and corporate blouses for nights out. Another crucial element of the look? Cropped blazers, a Y2K specialty. I haven’t owned one in well over a decade, but Elizabeth Olsen’s exceptionally chic new red carpet look just convinced me to buy one.
Attending the National Board of Review Gala in New York City this week, Olsen wore a head-to-toe Thom Browne outfit. The corset was reminiscent of Olsen’s spectacular Golden Globes dress from this past weekend, but the rest of the look felt thoroughly fresh. Scroll down to see how Elizabeth Olsen styled a cropped blazer for the red carpet and shop versions for yourself.
