Rachel Zoe was spotted at the spring 2015 Calvin Klein presentation on Thursday. For the show, the stylist-at-large decked herself out in an all-black ensemble: a tiered maxi dress and matching black platform sandals.

Rachel topped her dress with a fringed cape, adding flair to the monochrome ensemble. The cape added depth and texture to her look. She completed her outfit with gold-rimmed eyewear, a chunky gold collar necklace, and a printed black Givenchy clutch.

Before the show, the ultra-fashionable Zoe was also spotted outside her hotel.

She must have switched extras because she was carrying a black Hermes tote instead of the clutch, and her golden brown sunnies were nowhere in sight. Instead, she had on a pair of black peepers.

How do you like Rachel’s NYFW style? Do you approve?

Rachel’s tiered maxi dress may seem casual, but its black color and the way she accessorized it with a fringed cape give it a more formal and dramatic flair. The fringed cape adds a touch of sophistication and depth, much like a fur scarf or coat, making the outfit stand out.

We couldn’t find the details on Rachel’s fringed cape, but you can glam up your black maxi or any all-black outfit with these fringed extras:

If you wish to work with a much lighter palette, try topping your outfit with any light-hued jackets instead. We even fancy the flossy pink number because you can also wear it with jeans:
