Though it only appeared onscreen for the briefest of moments, this was Little J's take on an elegant cover-up to take her straight to the Ambassador's Dinner and show up Damien. Making your own is easy, just by adding multiple safety pins to a blazer in need of a makeover.

You Will Need (2 things)

  • Medium-large size silver Safety Pins
  • Black fitted Blazer

Steps (5 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    Start by inserting a couple safety pins in a fan-shape at one of the side-seams of the blazer, right where it hits your waist. Try not to push the safety pins through the jacket lining.

  2. 2

    Add more safety pins in-between the first row.

  3. 3

    Keep alternating placement as you fan out from the side and create a "starburst" pattern.

  4. 4

    Add a few larger safety pins near the edges.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the other side of the blazer.
