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.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
