Putting together an elegant party outfit is about as close to impossible as winning the lottery or getting a table at NYC's Polo Bar… the two concepts just don't really go together. Yet Anya Taylor-Joy managed to create one seemingly with ease for the Emmys after party she attended last night. For the event in West Hollywood, the The Menu actress chose an all-black ensemble consisting of a black leather miniskirt, matching go-go boots, and an hourglass-shaped blazer that added just the right amount of formality and glamour to the otherwise fun and playful look.
Hourglass silhouettes like Taylor-Joy's are quickly becoming some of 2024's most sought-after items, with trending styles by designer labels like Alaïa, Tory Burch, Versace, and Gabriela Hearst, as well as more affordable options that can be found at Aritzia, Reformation, and Helsa. Below, scroll through 15 of my favorite nipped-in, structural pieces, each of which is more elegant than the next.
