Hilary Duff is making us want to wear sequins and leather at our next formal event

We all have our secret weapon wardrobe item that leaves us feeling invincible as soon as we slip it on. Whether it’s a leather jacket or a little black dress, there are just some pieces we never cease to love. But the real fun with these hero pieces comes with what you pair them with. We can’t help but love a good leather staple, and now Hilary Duff is inspiring us to wear our sequins with our favorite leather piece.

The sweet-meets-edgy vibe of the look is unexpected, but we can’t deny we’re fans. Leather and sparkles? It’s like a dream come true.

Hilary wore a single-sleeve silver sequin top with a pair of leather pants, looking equally daring as she did sweet.

We love this top’s cowl neck, especially when paired with the contrasting pants. Hillary accessorized this outfit with a leather clutch, and we get it, because is there actually such thing as too much leather? We’d say not. The only other accessories Hilary chose to wear were a simple ring and a bracelet. And with the finishing touch of black pumps, we’re sure Lizzie McGuire would approve.

Hilary wore her blonde hair in loose curls and chose makeup that popped in contrast to her black and silver look.

With a slight smokey eye, rosy cheeks, and a glossy berry lip, Hilary nailed the dark-but-sweet aesthetic. Next time we’re inspired to wear our leather pants, we’ll grab some sequins and our favorite lipstick, and know we’ll be looking good in no time.

Thanks for the constant inspo, Hilary.
