Ever considered, even for a moment, wearing a white T-shirt to a black-tie event? That breaks, like, a million etiquette rules, right? Well, maybe not anymore.
Irina Shayk just upended everything we thought we knew about eveningwear with an elegant outfit centered on a plain white tee and a Swarovski crystal necklace. Her understated but eye-catching look stood out at a party celebrating the Swarovski holiday collection with The Mark hotel on New York City's Upper East Side. Notably, Shayk kept her beauty look simple with natural-looking makeup and slicked-back hair, which allowed her accessories to do the sparkling.
As the holiday season quickly approaches, we're always on the lookout for new outfit ideas, and Shayk certainly delivered some easy-to-execute inspiration. Keep scrolling to shop a selection of black maxi skirts, crystal chokers, black boots, and, of course, opera gloves to pair with your favorite white T-shirt at any upcoming evening event.

Shop Crystal Chokers
Pairing a plain white T-shirt with this Swarovski crystal choker elevates an everyday wardrobe basic.
Time to shine.
We love a non-fussy statement necklace.
Shop Black Boots
Shayk appears to be wearing square-toe booties under her maxi skirt; this pair is very versatile.
The square toe paired with a sculptural heel adds an unexpected dimension to an otherwise typical black boot.
Ankle boots and maxi skirts? Why not?
These knee-high beauties are quickly earning cult-favorite status with the style set—we'd wear them with almost anything, including a white T-shirt.
Shop Black Opera Gloves
At just $11, you don't have to spend a lot to try out the edgy look.
These gloves are sheer—like some stockings—which has a less dramatic effect.
Indulge in these stunning opera-length gloves made of 95% silk.
