Olivia Palermo Just Wore the Perfect Party Outfit for Girls Who Hate Dresses

At a fashion gala in New York this week, Olivia Palermo opted for a more casual spin on the black-tie dress code, wearing a party outfit made for those who hate wearing dresses. Olivia wore several key party trends at once, wearing a pair of brown velvet cropped kick-flare trousers with a floral shirt with a high-low hem and a matching floral skinny scarf tied around her neck. But she didn't stop there, as she also wore an oversized dusty pink furry coat slung over her shoulders, a pair of pink velvet peep-toe mules and a blue crushed velvet clutch bag. We would never think of wearing three shades of velvet at once, but somehow OP made it work. Keep scrolling to see Olivia Palermo's latest party look, and shop the key pieces.
