Jennifer Aniston’s sultry waistcoat top and layered gold jewellery is the understated party look we're recreating this New Year

We love Jennifer Aniston’s timeless style and her look from the 2011 People's Choice Awards is still so on trend 13 years after she wore it - by pairing a low cut waistcoat top with a selection of layered gold necklaces, she created a sleek and understated party look that we're desperate to recreate for our upcoming New Year celebrations.

When we came across Jennifer Aniston's 2011 People's Choice Awards look in the fashion archives, we could've been easily convinced that it was an outfit she'd worn just yesterday - proving that her understated and sophisticated style holds timeless appeal.

The fitted waistcoat-style top, high waisted black suit trousers and collection of glittering gold jewellery hanging from her ears and around her neck are all still so on trend, despite her wearing the pieces over a decade ago. It just goes to show that classic pieces like suit separates deserve their space in our winter capsule wardrobes, with them working brilliantly to create timeless and sultry party looks that make a splash.

Get Jennifer Aniston's Look

If you're struggling to find Christmas party outfit inspiration, or are looking for the perfect celebrity style to help you decide what to wear this New Year's Eve, Jennifer's look is a life-saver.

Her waistcoat top is a super sultry piece, with a plunging V-neckline showing off her tanned skin for a party-ready look that demands attention. Yet the plain black fabric of the top keeps the outfit feeling understated, sophisticated and sleek, with the button details, snug fit at the waistline and hip-skimming hemline carving out a flattering fit that blends formal and casual brilliantly.

To highlight the deeply carved out neckline, Jennifer added a selection of gold-toned necklaces to the look, layering their varying lengths to get a glimmering effect that catches the eye. Recreating the look, you want to start with a short, simple chain necklace that sits at the base of the neck in a choker style, then add a chest-grazing chain with a pendant that sits just below the collar bones. Finally, to enhance the neckline of your chosen top, layer on a long golden chain and tuck it into the top for a sultry, eye-drawing accessory.

Jennifer also wore a selection of gold bangles and a pair of statement gold drop-detail earrings which amped up the simple all-black look and added a shimmering accent to the monochrome outfit.

While Jennifer opted to wear a pair of fitted black suit trousers for her awards show look, this outfit is really all about the top and the accessories, meaning you can tailor the bottoms to fit your personal style. Maybe you want it to feel a little more casual and opt for a pair of flattering denim jeans as the base of the outfit, or you might want to go with a floating midi skirt whose volume and billowing silhouette catches the eye as you spin around the dance floor. It's up to you!
