Jessica Hart was at the Valentino Spring 2014 presentation in Paris early this week. We couldn’t help but notice the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model because she looked really elegant in the long lace frock she wore for the occasion.

Even more noteworthy was how she accessorized the outfit — with an exquisite silk scarf worn around her neck like a tie.

It was an unexpected way to wear a scarf because the more popular choice would have been to wear it like a choker. Nonetheless, even with her barely-there makeup and close-to-none jewelry, Jessica looked stunning.

She completely embodied what Parisian chic means — natural, effortless, elegant, and completely beautiful.

We don’t have the official tidbit yet on Jessica’s scarf, but chances are it’s a Valentino. That said, you don’t need to purchase from the label to steal Jessica’s style.

Simply grab a strapless lace dress — whether it’s knee length or tea length (as long as it’s not super short), a printed square scarf in the same color, and some flat sandals.

To cap off the look, work your hair into a loose bun and put on some blush (just a blush, to keep it natural). Try these sets we’ve put together for you:
