Getting dressed up for a night out on the town doesn’t have to be a stuffy affair. With steamy summer evenings to contend with, sometimes adopting the “less is more” approach to dressing is the simplest, and sultriest, way to go, as opposed to piling on the layers. How much “less” are we talking about? Well, if you were to take a page out of Natasha Lyonne’s playbook, you’d go nearly naked.

The actor was seen walking the orange carpet at the premiere of her latest film, The Bad Guys 2, at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, wearing a look that was both sexy and sheer while also being covered up. Lyonne’s flashy evening ensemble, styled by Brad Goreski, came courtesy of Stella McCartney and comprised a nude mesh tulle bodysuit covered in a linear pattern of crystals that mimicked the traditional boning seams of a corset.

To counterbalance the barely-there illusion of the bodysuit, she wore it with a black silk midiskirt that knotted and draped at the hip. In terms of accessories, Lyonne accentuated the sparkle with glittering silver Christian Louboutin pumps and an eye-catching array of art deco-inspired diamond jewelry from David Webb.
While the top half of this outfit may be getting most of the spotlight, it’s the black midi skirt that’s the true workhorse. Lyonne’s skirt served as the perfect neutral base for the more blingy bodysuit, having just enough visual interest of its own without competing with the rest of the outfit. This goes to show why having a midi in your sartorial arsenal is always a fail-safe investment.
Whether you dress yours up like a showgirl, as Lyonne did, or want to try out Katie Holmes’s everyday skirt outfit formula, you can rest assured that no matter how you wear a midiskirt, you’ll be sporting a piece that will be worth every penny with its endless versatility.
